#INTERIORS #NEC #BIRMINGHAM HERE I COME

Good morning Wednesday. Looks like it will be a sunny day. On my way to Birmingham to the Interior Show at NEC. I am curious to see what is going on there and will be back here with more from Formex in Stockholm and NEC, see you soon.

#FORMEX #ZANDRARHODES

Zandra Rhodes is the guest creator at Formex in Stockholm until Friday! This English fashion- and textile icon has been around since the 1970 with her own design and fabrics. She is the founder (and built the house) of the Fashion- and Textile Museum in London (Bermondsey Street near London Bridge Station). Her colourful and quirky design are still very much in demand. Some of her designs has been recently into the limelight again on the film "Bohemian Rhapsody" where Freddie Mercury is wearing a white outfit by her!

Me yesterday at Formex with Zandra. A colourful couple indeed!

Yellow followed by a muted orange are still a strong colour in fashion and interiors. Bags from Ceannis at Formex.

Stripes are always in. AfroArt has their own way of doing them. Formex.

More orange and yellow. Jugs in durable melamine at Rigtig. I love these! More here soon!

#COLOURFULGUEST #FORMEX #JAN2019 #ZANDRARHODES

Zandra Rhodes is coming to Stockholm, and so am I. Formex is up again, think Topdrawer but bigger...best interior accessories and gift fair in Northern Europe. This is the shell of Zandra's stand in the entrance hall as it is today. Fully equipped by Tuesday morning when the fair starts. Follow what is coming up in Stockholm and Formex during the next week here! First trip abroad since I moved to Wales. See you soon!

HAPPY NEW YEAR #ABERGAVENNY

Happy New Year to all my readers and followers. Yes, I have moved, from the picturesque The Cotswolds to the beautiful Welsh town of Abergavenny surrounded by mountains. After a heavy and very tough 2018 I am embracing a new year and hoping to be able to put a lot of bad experiences away. Experiences like some family that showed their true colours when it comes to loyalty and honour and choose to put their heads in the sand and feel sorry for themselves. Shame on you! I will start by visiting my lovely birth town of Stockholm and continue my work for Formex (interior- and gift fair in Stockholm 15-18 January) and thereafter the Scandinavian Furniture Fair in Stockholm 5-8 February. In between I will enjoy the farewell tour or Boyzone (yes, one of my secret loves!) and later in February my all time favourites Steely Dan and Stevie Winwood. I will also try to improve my presence here on my blog and work on my extended work as a journalist. More about that later. See you soon!
