~ home decor stories with... Anne! ~ {guest post}

hello my dears,

well, with lots of things going on my mind, 

 connected with the upcoming movement

 out of the current place we are staying

 {which I suppose by now you all know how much

 I' ve  grown to love living in!}

one thing I must certainly do 

is to keep {such} useful & positive reminders in my mind & heart:

{above} follow your bliss

dream big

keep calm and carry on

 the print shown above,

does actually live in our home

{look here !}

&

I think that it should be the first one to 

put on the walls of the new home!

some of you might have already recognised whose work this is,

as she is already and only after a year of presence

with her etsy shop,

very, very beloved 

& 

quite popular I might say.

... in order to not turn this into an advertinement of her talents though,

just hop over {here} to read more about herself & her work !

so as you have probably just found out,

{Anne} is French & is currently living in magical Paris.

no wonder she is so inspired in creating

such amazing photographs!

{check out these!}

but the reason that she and I connected

goes beyond appreciating each others

photography work.

As she curates {dozins of beautiful treasuries on etsy},

we soon after found out

that we also share a common sense of aesthetics

&

an approach to home styling and decor.

We recently agreed that some selected of the treasuries she creates,

will be getting posted here a few times a month,

and she will also be letting you into her thinking behind

the creation of each one of them.

I find this absolutely great,

cause Anne is also a freelance writer

and particularly enjoy the way she expresses herself,

eventhough writing in English is a demanding process for her.

so my dear all, please welcome with a big warm hug,

Anne!

hello everyone,

this Anne writing here now, the person behind the photography Etsy shop

called {magalerie}.

A year ago, I started to make treasuries

and this is how I discoved Ivy's beautiful pictures...

we started an online correspondance between

France, {sometimes Greece} and Germany!

our connection was sealed soon with happy feelings,

as one of my first treasuries

including an item from Ivy's shop

was featured on Etsy Front page

last summer.

see?

{Ivy's item is the card with her "handwrittern love" print on the bottom left corner}

I don't have a blog at the moment and I'm really grateful that Ivy

invites me to present some of my treasuries here.

For me, they are more than just a selection of 16 items.

They are a way to create an atmosphere, exercise myself 

in gathering objects to create a cohesive result.

I imagine them as...

 home decor stories!

Most of the time, 

I fall in love with an object

{photography, print, drawing, vitnage item...}

and I try to imagine a whole room inspired by my first favorite.

As if I had a client who asks me to realise a room make over

based on one of their favorite objects.

For this frst post,

I' d like to present you {this} beautiful photo from 

Natalie's etsy shop,

aka as the {Shabby Photographer}

I really fell for the colors in this photo!

lots of words came to my mind when I looked at it:

wood ~ earthy tones ~ tea ~ loneliness ~

serenity ~ calmness  ~ vacation

creativity ~ burlap

vintage paper...

...it inspires a collection mixed of vintnage finds &

photography prints.

can you imagine those objects in a wooden beach house like I do?

have a look at he result and please do let me know what you think!

till next time,

Anne

.................

well everyone, I hope you have enjoyed this post,

as I much as Anne had while putting it together

&

I did writing it!

I totally reasonate with Anne's thinking, way of seeing things

and absolutely adore both seeing her treasuries

and learning more about what lies behind them!

wishing you all a wonderful weekend ahead,

&

 promise to not take too long to return with more posts and news ; )
