Lombok

Bone inlay storage box

Carved oval candle

Taffeta horn cushion in oyster

Fern design iron wall art

Willow linen cotton throw

This week for my 'shops i love' page, I bring you Lombok. Over ten years ago the founder of Lombok wanted to bring the beauty of eastern inspired furniture to the UK. Named after the idyllic island of Lombok, today there are more than a dozen stores that encompass different styles of uniquely designed furniture, lighting and accessories, all hand made from natural materials.

I am loving their bone inlay boxes for storing all my clutter and their gentle, warm neutral colour palette of oyster, willow linen and taupe as it is just so dreamy!

Have a sweet day!

Wind rushes in

I was sitting on my front verandah today (a place where you will often find me). It was madly windy and I usually don't like the wind. Of all the weather, wind is least tolerable.

Reckless, disrupting, tearing, heartless wind.

My children were playing beside me; for once lost in a game and the 'hey mum can I's were either absent or lost to the wind. It was just me and the whipping trees and rushing grasses.

So much sadness around when the new year started so promisingly, I thought. And then the wind blew this thought my way.

Still promising.

Still promising, still hopeful. Still endlessly maybe.

"If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same...

...Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, 

And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!"

- Rudyard Kipling 'If'

Never sad for long.

On we trudge, towards a skip. On we skip towards our maybe.
