Spring - What Does it Mean to YOU?

For me, waking up this morning to a new season was like coming out of a long, dark tunnel... I am not a "Winter" person. I don't like the cold. The short days. Frost on the windows. Grass that is permanently damp. Washing that won't dry. Scarves around my neck.

I DO like the sunshine. Long, lazy days and sunsets that linger... cotton singlets. Bare skin. Flowers.  Early morning walks on the beach. Getting dirty hands planting herb seeds. My laundry waving in the gentle breeze. Pastels. Sandals. Iced water with fresh mint.

Spring, folks.

SPRING!

What does it mean to you?

Green Gate Autumn/Winter 2011



This week for my 'shops i love' page I bring you delightful Danish brand, Green Gate. I have featured them many a time here on Torie Jayne. Their new catalogue for Winter 2011 is full of polka dot stoneware, gingham checks and fifties florals. There is the introduction of wicker baskets for water bottles, condiments and cutlery. A new pretty floral flour shaker and polka dot floral trimmed stoneware for the kitchen. Christmas decorations in colours of smoke and cognac in heart, bell and pinecone shapes. There is also a refreshing regal yet rustic collection of stone and blue coloured interior pieces. Like the blue postage stamp print on stone coloured cushions, place mats and aprons.



Have a sweet day!
