Lovely Linens and Green - Mix



Krisotpher K original fabrics (clockwise from top right) 
"Linen Lines" 
"Ink Bubbles - Silver Birch" and 
"Lofty Linen Leaves"


"Lofty Linen Leaves" was inspired by the leaves growing on the amazingly beautiful trees in the, Parc de Saint-Cloud, Paris, France.
Discovering we could drive our hire car through the Parc de Saint-Cloud along lovely tree lined avenues, was a highlight of our drive (see map here) from Paris to the Chateau de Versailles.

Lamp Detail, Place Des Vosges, Paris

"Place Des Vosges - lamp" 
© All rights reserved.

The Place Des Vosges, is the oldest planned square in Paris, located in the beautiful Marais district. The park at the centre of the Place, provides a wonderful place to relax, right in the heart of Paris.Easily one of my favourite places in Paris, and well worth a visit if your lucky enough to be in the neighbourhood :)
This little guy flew over to pose - soon after the baguettes from our picnic basket appeared :)


One of my favourite shops in Paris, about a 10 min stroll from the Place Des Vosges, is -  Calligrane  - (located at 6 Rue du Pont Louis-Philippe 75004 Paris France :01 48 04 09 00) a wonderful shop for anyone with a passion for paper and stationery. 


Thank-you to everyone who has inspired and supported me throughout the years. I wish you all a very Happy New Year and a Wonderful 2010.
