While battling through the maze of mayhem which is Urban Outfitters in Manhattan looking for the Girard LOVE cushion I spotted these little beauties. They are in the Alexander Girard range but were not listed on the website. The design is called “Geometric E” and on first spotting them they literally took my breath away, I instantly bought one and then ended up speeding across town in a cab to buy a second one! I only know the name of the design because David bought me the “Alexander Girard designs for Herman Miller” book by Leslie Pina (which is fantastic BTW!!!) this week for my birthday. Why haven’t I mentioned my birthday you may ask???……because I’m not happy with my age that’s why! Regardless of that I had a great day and I received very thoughtful presents including a Mont Blanc wallet and money towards yet another Eames upholstered chair that I have my beady chair addicted eye on…

Well we are back from NYC but I have been a bit slack with my blogging so my apologies to one and all! I haven’t been well since our return either with a possible case of swine flu, although I will never know if it was or not because my doctor told me not to go into the surgery but I am on the mend slowly.

Anyway as you can see I managed to get my hands on an Alexander Girard LOVE cushion from Urban Outfitters in NYC which I am very pleased with, it goes perfectly on my grey Eames rocker.I also picked up a couple of other Girard cushions for our bed and other bed spreads and cushions for a couple of friends, my suitcase and bag was bursting with home accessories! I did find Urban Outfitters rather odd though, both of the shops that we went to were very badly arranged and the rather young staff who loved themselves far too much seemed rather disappointed that they had to actually do some work! It was if they were just there to chat and have a laugh with each other, they were like some kids from FAME who believed that one day fame would be knocking on their door, I was expecting them to break into song and start singing “High Fidelity”!!!

Anyway we had a fantastic time and we didn’t want to leave and we will definitely be going back to the city we have totally fallen in love with. I have more pics to post, stories to tell about celeb spotting and our day hanging around a movie shoot….there is a clue in the title of this post….

Oh and also our new sofa has arrived which is absolutely gorgeous so there will be pics very soon…

Well I’ve had a great day today! The new July issue of Livingetc landed on my doorstep and their were a couple of familiar items in there! In the first pic above are two of my sister’s handmade grey felt cushions and in the second pic there is one of my “I want to rock with you” prints…..we are both ecstatic!!! Both were bought by Helen a member of the Livinetc forums and her amazingly gorgeous house is featured.I will be posting more pics of her droolsome renovation very soon. Then to top it all off my flat was chosen as the monthly winner on the Livingetc forum! I recently posted quite a few pics of our flat before we ripped it apart which were horrendous and I think that clinched the deal (I will be posting some very soon). I’ve won £150 to spend at Habitat thank you very much. All in all a very good day and I’m grinning like a cheshire cat. Well done likklesis and a big thank you to the ever lovely Helen!

I posted a couple of weeks ago about my sisters new Etsy shop Feltlove and I mentioned that she would be making felt cushions…..well here it is and what a beauty!! All of the felt is handmade by her which i am still very impressed by. I am still deciding on what colour to have, maybe grey or sage green or teal or………The cushions will be available very soon. I wonder if I will get a discount!!?…..
