Cabbages & Roses Giveaway !!

~ Hei jenter, i dag tar jeg hele innlegget på Engelsk, ettersom halvparten av mine lesere kommer fra andre land enn de Skandinaviske. I tillegg synes jeg det er viktig at alle skal forstå hva jeg vil fortelle. Regner med at det går greit. Ønsker alle et stort Lykke til, og ha det moro !!   Ps:  Endel har hatt vanskeligheter de siste dagene med å legge igjen kommentarer i kommentarfeltet. Jeg har selv forsøkt å legge igjen kommentar som anonym og da har det fungert greit. Bare pass på og skriv hvem du er og hvilken blogg du har !

Ever since I started sewing 4 years ago, Christina Strutt has been a role model. The very first book I bought was Vintage Crafts, "30 charming projects for the Home and Garden ". The book took me by storm,and I remember my cheeks turned red with excitement when I mastered my first project. Besides, the Designs came across very friendly. And I completely fell for the authentic radiance of the fabric, which she uses in her products. The good quality of linen,you can almost feel it. Christina collects inspiration for her designs on her many trips to the antique markets and her travels abroad. Which is easy to recognize. Some of the designs generate a certain feel, like a picnic trip to the countryside. They feel easy to the eye, relaxed and natural. You just want to lay down, have a rest in a hammock, close your eyes to the sound of fluttering fabrics at the background. Don`t you agree ? I also think the natural color palette fits into most environments.

But the most important thing I think is that Cabbages & Rosesis Environmentally Friendly! All the ingredient sare printed in the UK, just outside London. Furniture is vintage finds that Christina gathers on her travels, and fabric printing is ecofriendly and does not create a waste substances that are harmful to local water supplies. They want to keep your business small, and will not produce large quantities as it is often thrown away or sold at reduced prices. Selection of quality of products means that they last a long time and thus avoid "useand throw 'culture that drain our resources so much. A philosophy I completely agree with !

- This small group of ladies from the Langton store are doing most of the work for Cabbages & Roses new online shop. Hattie, Lauren, Violetand Holly. They take care of the store and make it look beautiful, they are wrapping, delivering, take phone calls, arrange the mail,serve customers etc….and handle all the online orders.
