Just a continuation of things I like from yesterday, although clogs and cane is a weird combination that has nothing to do with the other!!
The first photo is a still from the set of 'Marie Antoinette'. I know it's old news, but I love the colours in this photo, from the gilt and duck egg, to the faded Aubusson rug and pink peonies. I especially like the salon chairs!!
The second photo is of Kate Forman's cane Bergere bed. I love this bed-it's of the same age as my bargain chair I posted about yesterday, and is of a similar condition. Although I would never swap my pink brass bed (a present from the OH), if I were to, it would be for one like the ones in the photos. I haven't seen many though at the antique fairs we go to, although the OH says he used to see them all the time when he was antique dealing in France and Holland. They're not really his cup of tea though-bit too girly.
The fourth photo is of the clogs I've just bought on Ebay. I got them in the chocolate brown colour, although I was tempted by the red pair underneath (the OH thinks they look very 'Little Red Riding Hood'!!!). Clogs are quite trendy at the moment, especially Swedish Hasbeens which can be seen in the last three photos. SJP is a devotee and wore a few pairs in the last SATC movie, and here in the UK, H&M have almost sold out of their range of Hasbeens (which are really expensive on Ebay). I wanted a pair of not too high, closed-toe ones because I hate my feet and don't want to show them off!!
So I was pleased to find this clog-shop seller on Ebay, who handmakes your clogs in any colour for £32 buy it now! I found it so hard to decide which colour-red, chocolate, tan, taupe, pink, pale and dark green, black, navy, turquoise, gold, silver, patent.....
I decided upon the chocolate brown because then you can wear them in winter too with wooly tights! The Swedish Hasbeens version are very similar, aren't they, apart from the £70 difference in price-they are £102!! In fact, I prefer the ones I've bought, as I'm not too keen on the slits in the Hasbeens, and I prefer the darker stained wooden soles and the chocolate colour leather!
So this summer I'll be clip-clopping around while the OH laughs at my feet!
If anyone wants to join me I'll post the link!!
***By the way, Sarah-I've tried and tried to log into your blog, but I can't-but your new curtains look Fab!
