I'm having these at the moment; I'm back home for Easter and my grandparents (who are French) brought me back loads of macarons from Laduree in Paris!

Hi folks!

Enjoy the pictures,

A puzzleboard chopping board!

My latest little obsession is the Puzzleboard, by OOMS.

"The Puzzleboard by OOOMS can be used in more ways than one: each board can be used on its own as a cutting board or serving plate, or put some boards together and you have super-sized your workspace. It’s ideal for cutting those long baguettes! But the best thing is that any wineglass can be fitted into the blank spot of a board. Using the boards at parties allows guests to enjoy both wine & delicacies, while still having one hand free to greet other friends."

PianoTable.

noreply@blogger.com (Agatha) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:03:00 +0000

I couldn't wait 'till Monday to post this: it's just too amazing!

"The pianotable by Georg Bohle offers a dinner with the accompaniment of a piano. The piano player takes a seat at the dining table. Furthermore, as the occasion demands it, a little band can strike up at the table. The piano player will find companionship by a singer and his microphone and a guitarplayer. If the cap of the piano remains closed, the plain wooden surface will serve as a table without cease."

I hope you find it as awesome as I do,

I think this Stonehenge made with clothes is so cool! And a great advertising poster, too.

So if you're reading this Daddy, have a super birthday, and I love you!

*looks down guiltily*

It's been a long time since I last posted. I'm sorry.

I do have an excuse, though - I was really, really busy with uni and stuff... Hopefully, posting will be less erratic and more frequent now. *crosses fingers* What I am hoping to do, though, is to try and combine what I've missed into one giant post? Here goes:

Interior inspiration

noreply@blogger.com (Agatha) — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 09:24:00 +0000

{sorry folks, I don't quite know who owns this. If you do, don't hesitate to drop me an email!}

I think I have fallen head over heels in love with this interior. The colour palette is so calm and neutral, and the light that comes flooding in makes it a perfect bedroom, no? Imagine waking up every morning to all that light pouring through the windows in front of you...

I love the framed pictures on the wall, and the seating in the corner of the room - it's all so fresh.

C'est chouette, non?

Don't you just love this picture? The colours are amazing!

ps - chouette literally means 'owl' in French, but it's a colloquial word used in France meaning nice/great/super/exciting. Cool, eh?

Enjoy.
