Yellow 4

Yellow 2 

Yellow 1 

Yellow 3 

A couple of weeks ago at the flea market, I found an amazing old eiderdown- the one in the top picture above. It's made from a silky cotton that is soft with age and has a row of small shell buttons along one edge. I love it very much. After a good wash and airing in the sun, it's now happily living on our mustard yellow sofa. One day I hope we can find a sofa that's not mustard yellow vinyl, but until then the new flea market find is a good cover for it. (And besides, browny-yellow furniture plus jumping children is a match made in heaven.)

There's a lot of yellow in the house today- yellow roses on the kitchen table, some small purses I made from vintage fabrics, and a sprig of daphne in a yellow jug. Have a good Tuesday!

    Actually, I reckon any colour that isn’t crisp or white or pristine in any sort of fashion goes perfectly with jumping wee ones. We have plenty of that sort of stuff. So why are the human jumping beans attracted like bees to honey to the one thing trying desperately hard to be crisp, white, pristine…?

    Fabulous yellows here. Would LOVE to see the sofa with the cover. I need some sofa inspiration right now.

    My two girls love jumping on our sofa too – thanks goodness it’s a mottley grey brown fabric (rescued from a friend’s crib). No new sofa for us until the youngest stops drawing on things with crayons….

    Oh I love yellow and Daphne!
    We have two matching mustard yellow couches and I have to say it is growing on me…or until I can afford to recover them.
    Gorgeous cup in the bottom photo.

    This is cheery! Yellow was my grandmother’s favorite color. This makes me think of her.

    quick question. I’m sure you’ve answered this in the past, but what brand of pens do you use to draw on the porcelain cups and stuff? Is it food safe, and where do you get them? thanks so much for any help.
