The lilacs lift in generous bloom
Their plumes of dear
old-fashioned flowers;
Their fragrance fills the still old house
Where left alone I
count the hours.
High in the apple-trees the bees
Are humming, busy in
the sun, --
An idle robin cries for rain
But once or twice
and then is done.
from At Home from
Church by Sarah Orne Jewett
Look who's here!
Nina Hartmann and Maria-Isabel Hansson's groundbreaking interior book 'Vintage by Nina' in English.
(Distributed in the U.S. by Atelier de Champagne in September 2012.)
I've scanned a few images of my Swedish copy echoing the purples of my lilacs. I absolutely don't mind books I can't read, but discovering more about Nina's aesthetic surely is better. Corresponding with Nina a few months ago I relayed: America needs you.
Romantic yet minimalist, sentimental without saccharine.
This is the first in a series relaying how Nina's influenced my cottage...så vackert!
Until next time, stay
shabby!

How very beautiful. I don't mind books that I can't read either- as long as they provide me with beauty and/or are soul provoking- xo Diana

Oh Sandy, this post is so dreamy, I don't want to leave.
Nina's images take me away...to a decorating heaven.
What beautiful photo of her kitty. Love this look.
Thanks for the peeks Sandy...what a treat!
Dearest Sandy,
Glad you enjoy this great book. It is always a work of art for putting any book together and photos speak their own language.
Wishing you a happy Pentecost and also a happy Memorial Day.
Love,
