Flowers on the Roadside


I am often so tempted to pull-over the car and whip out the pair of scissors I keep in my glove box and cut flowers from bushes on the roadside. Today I did just that. I was driving over to pick up Harry from sailing and I saw these big bright beautiful pink flowers on a huge bush on the side of the road. I did a u-turn, stopped and cut a few. They have very prickly stems so I had to use the paper bag in the door pocket which was left-over from Harry's sausage roll this morning to handle them. Although they have dropped a little bit since arriving home, I do think they look pretty in the aqua vase I put them in on our fireplace mantel. It's amazing what beauty you can discover without even spending a cent.

the view


This was the 6:20 pm view from were I'm sitting on the bed in our room at The Jane hotel. Isn't it georgeous?! When I stand by the window I see lots of the Hudson river, more skyscrapers and the Statue of Liberty. I love it! There will of course be more photos of the view, this fabulous hotel and this amazing city later. We're just having a little breather at the hotel before we're headed to Brooklyn for dinner with an old friend of our's from Sandnes. Happy Friday folks!

Suzani Chair at Jenny's House


I love seeing where bits and pieces from our shop end up. Here's a picture above of one of our vintage French chairs, which we covered in a suzani, in the kitchen of a lovely customer and blogger, Jenny from My Pink Door...I think it looks great in her kitchen/dining area with the fantastic black and white floor and the other mismatched chairs.

Green and Gold...

I really love this room by Tobi Fairley using green and gold as accent colours with a neutral white background!  It's amazing what some well chosen colour can do.  Of course, I can never go past a starburst mirror either.  Happy weekend!

A New Window









Today we worked on a new display in our front window at Black & Spiro. We wanted it to be fresh and colourful and eye catching. This is our last window before our very exciting Christmas window which will be installed in a few weeks time. We wrapped bits of remnant fabric around birdcages and hung them in front of a gorgeous bright pink and white and black floral fabric. It always makes me feel so happy when we have installed a fresh new window at the shop...

Come celebrate with us!

It's Sølve's birthday today! Hurrah! We had pizza at Grimaldi's and it was super yummy.

Black & Spiro Today




Here's a little shapshot of some things in the shop which I am loving right now. Our new purple inlay chest of drawers is like a breath of fresh air...it's so pretty! I really am having a purple moment! One of my favourite quotes {by Virginia Woolf} which I had hand written and framed in an old white-painted frame - "Arrange whatever pieces come your way". This quote really is wonderful. I love it!

While we're on the topic of early season changes (snow in October that is), here are some shots from early summer in early June. A lazy Sunday walk in the arboretum at Milde. I remember that day as a lovely sun kissed taste of the season ahead. Well, time to snap back to reality, bundle up again and head home. At least it's not snowing anymore.
