Okay, lets not get too crazy here but BonVoyageEtoffe has now joined the wide, wide world of Etsy.




It's a big online shopping world out there and a teensy bit scary, but I confess I've found it absolutely and oldfashionedly thrilling to be on a new and somewhat steep(for me)learning curve.
Hence I required some calming paper goods yesterday.

As I speak now there are of course only 3 listings in my shop but hey, they weren't there yesterday. Work continues!




Etoffe (fr): stuff, material, it's made of the right stuff

Stationery








I find old stationery soothing. It's calm and beautiful and sometimes even smells good.

Ok, I'm not the only one crazy here..



You can buy the pretty one above here. See other people share the love!

Sage and Autumn





In an Autumn mood I just had to include these moths.(But really, to be honest I've been looking to get them up for ages!)  It's a plate from "Rambles in Autumn", a book from a little set called "The Circling Year".
Very English, but so was the weather today!

Think I might have been feeling the quiet in the garden when I chose the sage colour for this little table. It's almost ready.
It's one of those pieces I wish I had a spare spot for myself.





Meanwhile, Autumn quinces are fab. I highly recommend quinces.






And perhaps the sky is somewhat grey but hey, the nasturtiums are still going crazy under the lime tree (which itself is being slightly lazy).
Maybe it's just me but they just make me think of the 70's.
The happy shape, the colour??





And, a bit more colour.
