Behind The Door

Behind the door to my bedroom, there is a cozy reading spot, ready for the cooler days of Fall. I've got a stack of photography books and some new novels which will keep my heart pumping high with excitement. The whimsical teapot is spreading a jasmine aroma all around the room. The traditional rug I just bought in my last trip keeps me warm, as well as the white fluffy pillow. 

I've taken up the challenge from Hege (Hege In France) and her friend Efrat (Cafe Veyafe) to post one picture taken behind a door. This made me think of the long list of scenes I've shot in my home in the same style. I've never posted any of them until now, but I intend to publish them from now on, because I think they are quite charming :)

Fall Colors 2012

This year's color inspiration comes from my everyday toiletry. I was brushing my teeth when suddenly the corner of my eye caught a lovely palette, perfect for this warm and happy autumn. You can spot them in the upper left corner: a soft lilac and a burnt orange. So I rushed to my fabric stash and put together a nice assortment of white, soft pink, burnt orange and pearl grey. I'm gonna make me some nice pillows, to set up the Fall vibe :) The yarn bit was a little more complicated - but nothing that a little visit to my mom's couldn't solve in an instant. I chose the same colors, but there was no orange, so I switched it with a rich yellow - orange wool skein.

PS: I've already went and crocheted some triangles in my new Fall colors. I fell in love with them! Maybe it will be a pillow case, maybe it will be a beret... who knows?

Sweets For My Sweet

It looks like all this talk about meringue has paid off, after all :) And this is just a twisted way of saying "Thank you, sweet Ana from Carpe Diem, for passing over to me the So Sweet Blog Award" even if I don't qualify anymore, with more than 200 followers. But Ana got her pirate hat and stood tall on her charming DIY stool, showing the world that those followers are to be a joy, not an obstacle. So here I am, pinning this to the sidebar, yay!

Let's cut to the chase, I have the pleasure of recommending these wonderful blogs to whom I am passing the So Sweet Blog Award (in alphabetical order):
