I should create a jewellery collection with this name.Following these beats...

My vintage Kantha quilt







                                                                      my kantha quilt






I've been admiring the vintage Kantha quilts for a very long time...
I love the way Bangladeshi women sew together old clothes and saris with precise handmade stitching to make warm but still elegant quilts.
Each of them is one of a kind.

I've searched everywhere for a Kantha that was perfect for my bedroom and my budget.
You can see beautiful ones on sites like Niki Jones.
They normally cost around £200 and more but I've been lucky to buy mine on Portobello Road from a tiny shop; the owner personally travels to India and Bangladesh to find his stock; I've been visiting him so often that I've almost became his friend. I paid less than half of the above price for a large double bed size.

My Kantha brightens up my all white bedroom with its delicate peach poppy flowers on a stricking orange background,  but when I want to tone it down, I can just turn it over to have a sea of emerald green and gold lines.  


Sass & Bide





I've been a fan of australian duo designer Sass and Bide for years; I would buy almost everything from their "Boogie n Historymaker" collection as well as "The winning Day Resort" one.
 So when a "tiny bird" told me that Sarah-Jane bought my Morse Code & Chakra bracelets I was excited and flattered...

This is the brand new book by Sibella Court.
I immediately preordered my copy here.
I just can't wait to have it in my hands and on my table.

"In my latest book ‘Nomad’, I have created a beautiful photographic collection of travel shots & styled spaces to show how to bring your travels home in the most unexpected of ways." Sibella Court.

"As a cellist since age three and an artist for as long, I am interested in the emotional responses that happen when color, sound, and movement translate one another. There is color in sound, color in the way a moment feels, and there is sound in painting, rhythm and tempo. In my painting practice I meld artistic mediums, seeking the freedom of spontaneous action and the order of natural rhythm. Painting embodies the longing to be grounded and free at the same time."
words by Caroline Wright

I couldn't have said it better myself.
