SAY HELLO...

...to another Sable person. In order to keep this blog up and running we are now two sisters that shares the same ambition.

MIDSUMMER

Midsummer, wreaths, bright nights, herring and new potatoes.

Midsummer Night is the lightest of the year and was long considered a magical night, as it was the best time for telling people’s futures.

 

On your way home, pick seven different species of flowers and lay them under your pillows

OLD STUFF - FREE STUFF

 There are things that we get for free

 

MAKE OLDIES NEW

Make old pieces new- by just rethinking their style solution...I mean get inspired, do not buy new pieces. I am sure you can complete these summer looks with something hanging in the back of your wardrobe.

CLASSICAL NOSTALGIA

I do not have much more to say, than that some things are better vintage than new. Natural wear and tear. Perfect second hand items.

This jeans jacket belonged to my mother...

DIY

Shorts, the perfect way of Upcycling. The concept and goal of Upcycling is to prevent wasting potentially useful materials by making use of existing ones.

"Recycling is great but it requires energy and resources to collect, sort and process unwanted items and waste.

Upcycling is an even greener way of recycling – you find a new purpose for your unwanted items before you chuck them away..."

Words from this site

Well, I am not a handy man myself, but a pair of jeans shorts is not that hard to make.

ROADTRIP ENGLAND AND THE BOTELET

This summer we go to the south of England. We'll be traveling along the coast towards the Land's End. Then we'll make a detour to this place- Tamblyn Botelet

'A few miles west of Liskeard in Cornwall, enjoys the sort of lush rural setting I thought only existed in Enid Blyton books.  In fact this is Daphne du Maurier country, and Botelet Farm, hidden at the end of a narrow lane amid 250 acres of rolling farmland, has been the Tamblyn family home since 1861'
