Barcelona Streets...

It's been quite a while since I found something on the streets of note, mostly because I'm just not out and about at the right time anymore. I was lucky to find these chairs on Thursday as I went to pick Elqui up from school, and even more lucky that someone helped me carry them! (an 8 month pregnant belly makes it a little more than awkward!) I really love them both and they're both in great condition. I really want to have a whole mis-matched collection for the big table in the kitchen... now I just need to find another four...

Wonderful treasures from Encants...

I was very excited to find this beautiful cushion and throw set at Encants today. It was a bit of a comic struggle getting it all back on my bike (imagine a big bag on each handle and another between my legs...good exercise though, cycling bow-legged!) andwell worth it. How amazingly beautiful are they? All hand embroidered by an amazingly talented mystery person...definitely a worthy heirloom. There are 9 cushions and 2 large throws on all. Only the other day I was saying how I wanted my sofa to be a haven of shabby boho chic with hundreds of cushions (I'm intending on making my own from some of the gorgeous vinatge fabric I've collected). So this is a great start!
