It's been a long time since I've wrote a post and I'm so sorry, I've been working like a crazy women over the past month, plus been on a trip to Copenhagen which was one of the best cities I've ever been to ( ill dish all the deets later ) but today I want to share my love and shall I say a big goal of mine to own my own studio.

 

 As I have been working a lot lately its had me thinking about workspaces and how important it is to feel happy where your working, (I've basically spent a month painting in a cow barn, which was freezing and full of cobwebs, yep nice I know) your workspace should lift you when you're struggling for answers, to look up at your walls and feel inspired. Do you look forward to working in your office/workspace? Or could you make it more inviting. There seem to be so many inspiring beautiful studios out there that I like and could picture myself working quite happy in, here are just a few, let me know which one is your favourite?

A summers evening

Today at Yard of Bleu were having a 'summers evening' with our new stock that will be available to shop at Etsy by the end of the week.... Imagine a summers evening spent wearing a sheer lace slip, relaxing in our Ercol collection sipping a cup of chamomile tea.

 It's all looking so peaceful here.

wish list :: Stockholm

 

Thinking about summer or if we will get any? Over the past week I've been finding myself snuggled on the sofa with a pile of chunky knit blankets, sipping cups of hot chocolate instead of what I should be doing this time of year like having pinic's at the park, going to my favourite {Clumbia Road} flower market at the weekends, and most importantly wearing my summer wardrobe, yes our british weather is pretty bad at the moment, and I can’t help but think about getting away seeing a bit of sunshine and enjoying the long days. One of the places that is at the very top of my list to jet off to is Stockholm, I would love to visit this amazing city during the summer months, as it’s known for its contemporary designers, chic street-style fashion and its beautiful city surrounded by water, I can see why its known as one of europes best capitals..... beautiful .

Imagine strolling through the old streets shopping at the coolest vintage boutiques and admiring all the Scandinavian furniture {would be a dream}, island hoping by boat, seeing all the medieval villages and having lunch at the little cafe's you came across as you wonder around getting lost, taking the moment in as you enjoy some Swedish cuisine and best yet PEOPLE WATCH {one of my fav things to do} and envy the street fashion of course.
