Sarjaton

Shaped by tradition, tailored for today. from Iittala on Vimeo.

Hi, it's Petra here today. I really like new Sarjaton collection by Iittala. Sarjaton, meaning ‘no series’ in Finnish, is a range that redefines the freedom of flexibility. I personally think it is simple, beatifull and poetic. My favourite is Mug Letti old rose. And yours? more about collection here

last holiday weekend

Hi , it's Petra here today....

On the last holiday weekend, we went to visit our friends who live in the countryside near the river. There wasn't enough water to paddle down the river, so we enjoyed a beautiful day chatting and relaxing on their large garden. The kids had fun "fishing" and playing with boats in the pond. I made them sailboats from plastic shampoo bottles, washable wallpaper, cork from the bottle of wine, skewer and rubber bands. The inspiration for the bottle boat here. 

Dinner by the fire reminded me of my childhood with grandmother. Did you enjoy some beautiful summer evenings too? 

See you next week!

I enjoyed styling and photo taking last couple of days...all pictures are available from here. 

about cycling

There are some serious beauties when it comes to bikes. I love cycling and cycle a lot and have fairly standard black Carrera bike, which is quite heavy and let's say boring. Don't get me wrong the bike is completely fine but you just know one of these would cycle soo much better....

Mummy surprise!

Hi, it's Petra here today. Back in spring my son Hugo discovered gardening and was desperate to grow something himself in our garden. Last year he underwent  a serious operation and we used to put cream from marigold plants to heal his scar. So that's why his choice was the same plant. 

In April he planted the seeds and was patiently observing every week how they grow. Finally last month they were in full bloom and one day he came from the garden with words: " Mummy surprise! That's for you to make you happy and to know I love you..." It was wonderful. 

It was one of the moments when you think you child is just amazing and you are so happy being a mum. 

And then he made me a picture as well.....

See you next week! Petra

welcome Petra!

Last week I promised you I will be introducing a new contributor to this blog. So here she is! Welcome! and with it comes a story about how we met....

Last year after Christmas I received an email from Petra. She wrote to me about how she found photos on flickr  of our house and projects I was doing with Anya. We shared the same taste when it came to cole&son wallpapers, wooden toys for kids, blogs and we are both from Czech. From there she found my shop and bought pictures and posters for herself and her clients.....We soon become email friends, writing about work, kids and interesting sites and people. 

Petra is an interior stylist who lives in Prague with her photographer husband and 4 year old son Hugo. She used to work for magazines before she fell pregnant and now dedicates time to her interior design practise and her little boy. 

We met this spring in Prague and then again couple of times this summer. My daughter loves Hugo, even so much she said last time we left them. " You know mum, he is quite cute. He is my boyfriend now"...:):)

So back to this blog. Petra will be writing here about projects with her son, showing her beautiful photos and sharing tips and ideas. 

Welcome!

through the glass

I love going into new shops, especially small boutique places that seems almost hidden, it's like finding a treasure somewhere you don't expect it.  

I read  a book - Amsterdam : Made by Hand,  before we went and it was my little guide. So thank you Pia! I bought a tea pot  in one of the shops and it's so sweet. lovely stuff on their site too...

by the way the first photo is a hairdresser window, but I liked it too much not to take a photo...

I still have no regrets...
