Love H&M....

photos from here

Bonjour mes belles,

I hope that you are all having a fabulous week-end. We are lucky enough to have H&M online in France now but it has been a long time coming.

I have purchased a couple of items from their clothing collection including a pair of sandals with python trim which I adore.
Their home collection is appealing and well priced....how stunning are the photos of their S2014 Spring/Summer Collection?

très bonne journée à tous, Leeann x

repurposed doorstop ...

She started life as a Chenet de Cheminée or fire dog as they are called in English.

I think that she makes a fabulous door stop and a very practical one as she is heavy, to say the least.


She came with 2 friends....a rather handsome looking fellow...

and a very pretty woman...

They also would make fabulous lamps as you can see from the photo below...

Love the lamps and think that they look extra special with the lamp shades made from vintage monogrammed napkins.....repurposing at it's best.

You could also use them as bookends......now i am wishing that I had a few more!

fab photo from the new Philippe Starck Restaurant Atrego

Love the idea of placing mirror on mirror as seen in the new Philippe Starck restaurant, it looks fabulous.

For more photos of this fabulous restaurant, click on the above link or here.

Still busy at this end and I have not had a chance to photograph the items that we found on Sunday but will try tomorrow if I get a spare minute but need to wash and iron a lot of the linen hence it is looking very much like a chinese laundry here at Fab French "headquarters".
