Black and Blum

While in Paris I came across the contemporary design company Black and Blum, their range is fab and very quirky. The Loop candelabra is one of my favourite pieces. We sold out in Bumblebee so I ordered extra next time round for our online shop. They look amazing sitting singly, but you can also loop a few together for a bigger centre piece. Take a look...

Valentine's.....dinner for three...

Valentine's day was great, I was busy working in Bumblebee all day and it was fab fun. Paul bought the ingredients and went to town making a wonderful dinner. We didn't really want Sashka to join us...three's a crowd, but hey ho, what can you do. She was looking at us with those pleading eyes so eventually we said ok, have a seat. She had a couple of glugs of our wine and she was looking okay and so she asked for some more. She is only nine years old, we thought she was taking advantage but since it was Valentine's, a special treat. Anyway here she is all sparky and bright eyed...

A few too many.....

Well, what can I say, we warned her not too have another glug out the bottle and she didn't listen, it was so rude of her she fell asleep at the table...

Grass, Grass and more Grass....

Hi...just a little note to let you know the Grass vases are back in stock, we have all the sizes, large, medium and small. The large will be going online very soon but meanwhile if you would like this size i can take orders by phone.
They have been so popular worldwide and have been unavailable for about six months. The guys from Normann at Maison et Objet in Paris were telling us how the actual translation for the vase was 'Ditch'. As it was inspired by grass growing at the verge of a roadside, you can imagine it was not such a good name for a vase in english and that's how the name "Grass" came about. At Bumblebee we think it is very cool.

The beautiful scenery... in Norway

It was such an amazing day with the sun shining, reflecting shadows in the snow. This is a photo of a fiord covered in snow, it was so pretty.

Norway

I finally loaded the photos of our Norway trip at New year to my computer. The scenery was amazing. It was so cold some days, -17, we had to put so many clothes on. Here is Ollie all wrapped up in sheepskin, asleep on a sledge when we went for a walk.

Grass...

Our beautiful earthy vases 'Grass' from Normann Copenhagen were featured in Scotland on Sunday and we have sold out already. We have all three sizes on order and are expecting them in again at the end of the month. If you are hoping to get your hands on one of these gorgeous works of art, email me and I will be happy to keep one aside for you.
