Inspired by her grandmother’s needlework, Frédérique Morrel was upset that it was discarded when she passed away. This has been her motivation for salvaging vintage tapestries to create 0ne-of-a-kind soft furnishings and accessories. Frédérique Morrel products are a mix of needlework themes: idyllic alpine scenes are juxtaposed with old masters or cartoon kittens. The lunchbox above is a clever take on typical fast food containers, and there is a great cabin-chic lamp after the jump.
I’m having one of those weeks where I hate everything in my closet. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve caught a bad cold and the only clothes I want to think about are jammies. Or maybe because I’m on a self-imposed no-shopping (okay, low-shopping) regimen until I save some money, which is really, really no fun. In any case, I’m feeling generally frumpy, and I hate when that happens.
I’m pretty sure the only thing that will cheer me up is this really adorable dog pillow-making kit ($22) from Fred Flare. Or maybe a change of scenery – I’m leaving for a few days to do some travel/work, which will only require thinking about which cute sundress to pack. Which is about the only decision my NyQuil-addled brain can handle at the moment. See you soon.
