Aren't these Silver and brass Indian lassi cups wonderful? I have had my eye on them ever since seeing them in my lovely friend Kerrie's shop Gypsy River, I have taken the plunge and brought two, one is a vase and the other is our toothbrush holder. They look great as vases, pen holders, make up brush holders, or even for drinking a refreshing cup of home made mango Lassi.... mmmm Lassi!

Hoe you are all having a happy weekend....

The Home of... Mick Jagger and Anita pallenberg in Performance

Bohemian Interior Inspiration: Mick Jagger sitting pretty in Performance
Cecil, Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg on the set of Performance
Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg in Performance: Textiles in Purple and red mixed with lace xx



Mick and Anita In Performance: Plenty of throws, and mixed textiles

Anita Pallenberg and Moroccan Style light in "That Dress"

An Orange patchwork Throw and Brass Wine Glasses
Have you ever seen a film that you wished you could pause and step into just so you could look at the interiors? Eat, pray, love (that bedroom), Before sunset (her flat), The aunts house in practical Magic (well pointed out Kath) and this film do that for me. I would love to go in and study it all :)

Performance is a strange film, think gangster's, bisexual sex and violence mixed with a fair bit of hammy acting and posing....a true 60's Rock star film...... but the interiors are so very beautiful. Heavy on Moroccan textiles, accessories, lace, brass and opulent furniture. Divine :)

Plus it has Mick Jagger (legend) and the iconic Anita Pallenberg in that beautiful Vintage Piano Shawl worn above as a dress. Swoon!!

How about you guys, any film sets that have inspired you? xxx Gabi xxx

The home of... Justina Blakeney

The gloriously bright and bohemian home, also known as the Jungalow of Interior Designer Justina Blakeney


Bright and Eclectic Interior design: Organic cream and neon Orange

Wooden floors, beautiful textiles and houseplants


I love the apple green paint on those kitchen windows

Justinas, beautiful bedroom, complete with Handira and Suzani textiles


I have a thing about turquoise cupboards at he moment- this vintage cupboard has been given a modern twist with a coat of brilliant turquoise paint
IN the bedroom: African masks and that stunning Metal lamp
Justina's bargain find from the Rosebowl
I have been a big fan of Justina Blakeney for some time now. Her beautiful blog is always such a warm place to visit... recipes, fashion and bohemian interior design all in one place, whats not to love?

So I was really pleased when Justina agreed to let me share with you some of the pictures of her beautifully eclectic, bohemian home. Using a mixture of organic, natural colours, international textiles, juxtaposed with bright neon cushions and paint work, this house really is so individual and beautiful. There is even a beautiful Handira hanging above the bed...I am totally inspired for my new home...

So head over to her blog and prepared to get lost

Thank you Justina
