My garden

My vegetable garden is just crazy and we eat nowhere near enough salad or herbs to keep up. The weather has just been wonderful so far this autumn and there has not been any frost yet. Hopefully we'll be able to have a few more salads before the cold hits us.


I sowed a few seeds of radishes in the spring, but never picked them and they just started flowering these really cute white flowers. I am not sure if they are edible but they are nice to look at anyway.

Desigual

I really like the Spanish design brand Desigual. Their clothes are unique and even though their clothes are mass produced they look like they are repurposed or recycled.
One sweater really took my fancy last year and since it looked like it was made out of scraps of other sweaters I decided to have a go at making one for my husband.



I took a bunch of old sweaters that were no longer used (either they had holes from years of wear or stains that didn't come out). I used the back from one sweater, the sleeves from another, the neckline from yet another and then just bits from them all and made a patchwork front. I then sewed all the parts together and this is the outcome.

Owls



I'm in love with these little Owls that Sarah Goldschadt has made both as ornaments and as a pillow. Check out her blog and her Etsy shop. She has even made a tutorial on Burdastyle on how to make them.
