{The small sitting room in Wembury, on the Devon coast.}

It's winter and nearly Valentine's Day, and the two together always remind me of some {and there are many} of my favourite fireplaces. Lately I’ve been seeing the use of stacks of perfectly piled firewood as a structural or graphic element in sitting rooms, and still very much in my rustic phase, the look appeals and brings thoughts of being tucked away in a lazy log cabin, twirls of smoke from the fire drawing intricate patterns in the Winter sky . . .

Ugly Helmets

It’s not that I hate helmets. I certainly don’t relish them either. What I do like is that protect my brains. That’s really all I have to say on the subject. This link says it all.....

Now, with that said, presumably I won’t get sniped at for setting myself upon a soapbox stand to rant about why you should wear a helmet. No, I’d rather spend energy on making helmets be as pretty, stylish and chic as I can.

{tableaux cloths}

My inbox is often filled with of all sorts of great blog-related e-mails, including one from interior designer Mark Cutler, whose latest design includes the cheekily named Tableaux Cloths, which he designed “to fill a need I had for a low cost, yet stylish solution for a covered table.”

The Tableaux Cloths come in beige printed with a black image, but can be custom colored. They are currently available at Colburn Sassaman, which ships worldwide.

According to Mark, “I love the whimsical blend of antique and modern . . .”

Are there any Photos?

January 27^th

Photos will be up very soon. I am working on completing a collection of amazing bicycle helmet covers. A couple are already finished (and being worn!) I want to show at least four of them. I am so excited! Also, since I am going to be copyrighting the designs, that completes another step...yeah!

You are going to LOVE these super stylish and chic helmet covers.
