Spring Hits the Conran Shop

 Happy weekend everyone!  Is spring starting to appear in your  part of the world?  These last few days here in Jersey have been lovely and sunny I'm pleased to say, still a bit on the chilly side but its soooo nice to see blue sky and sunshine, so hopefully spring should be with us very soon.!



Spring has already arrived at The Conran shop, the window displays of the  London,  Paris and Japanese stores are starting to bloom with cherry blossom tress on a carpet of pretty pink fabric petals..over two million of them!  Each day up until  the end of March the visual team at each store will add more than 50 buds to each tree, and just to get the senses going  the petals have been infused with the scent of natural cherry blossom, now there's a smell to put a spring in your step! (ha ha) finally when the tress are in full bloom and heavy with blossom the team will then sweep in (well they will have to with all those cherry blossom petals every where) and change the displays ready for the summer!


If you are  heading to a store this weekend why not check out the window display and the heady smell of cherry blossom, then while you are there take a look around and see what take your fancy from the new spring collection

 If you do stop by the window displays why not take a photo and upload it to the This home Sweet Home Flickr group, would love to see some more photos.

Photography continues


Well I'm hanging in there with the photography course, I have a love hate relationship with it, I'm loving taking pictures, but hating having to do homework!  but its paying off, I got a 'B' grade for my portrait assignment and am now on the last stretch of the course just about to hand in the Landscape task then on to the exam piece which has the title 'Mystery and Imagination', so busy doing a bit of brain storming.

 

Purple mood boards and renovating..



Just a quick post to show you a couple of mood boards that my daughter has put together, we are doing a spot of renovating/decorating around here so that she has a bedroom of here own, more  pictures of the renovation to come later, its been quite mad around here the last few weeks, what with dust and paint everywhere and me trying to get my photography assignments finished!
