french blues and neutrals





There are a million (at a rough estimate) other and more important things that I should be doing this morning, but the joy of a blog is that it gives me the excuse to re-organise my day and justify some fun.





I found these beautiful fabrics yesterday:  an old bolster and some cereal bags, and teamed them up with a remnant of blue toile de jouy I've been keeping for an unknown reason.  Then I thought I needed a backdrop and ha!  the painted floor - at last it comes into its own!





So this is my offering to you on a cold weekend in Normandy.  A little linen, a little indigo blue, a little  antique stoneware and china .....





and finally for those of who who are saying "oh, so she painted the floor white in the end",  I have to reply "no actually", in real life it is very pale grey, although I grant you, it does appear white here.





I wish you all a lovely weekend, thank you for reading me.
