Tomorrow is another early start for me so being good and posting this evening. I have spent the day researching researching and researching and am feeling somewhat weary and contemplating if I could possibly sneak a glass of wine on a school night? Hmmm. What I have been researching you may well ask – well we have had some incredibly good news of late we have been accepted into the Maison Objet exhibition in Paris in the fall to unveil our new lighting collection so I have been pulling together some ideas of how the stand might look. I want it to feel homely, lived in and super cool all at the same time except it’s the teeniest tiniest stand so it’s a bit of a challenge to say the least.
Maud (my dog) is coming with and she has been accepted into French school (she is very excited and we are learning French) except I really want her on the stand with me, firstly because she has been the inspiration behind our new lighting collection and secondly because homes and exhibition stands no matter how chic they may feel are so much better when a furry friend is present. Below are some fabulous images of dogs hanging out at home with the final one of Miss Maud on her back, snoring on her favourite chair in her favourite position. Hard life at the top hey!
So cute and love the shoe closet – stealing the idea I think!
Very very cool.
Miss Maud at home asleep and awake.
It’s Paris, you can take a dog anywhere
I wish unfortunately not so with the exhibition.
Congratulations Lady Abigail, there is no stopping you! Miss Maude will perhaps need a little beret? At the very least, a bow upon her brow?
Miss Maud is gorgeous. That’s quite a glint in those eyes – she looks like a force to be reckoned with.
And I do agree that a house with a furry friend is so much better than a house without. Except, maybe, when you adopt a Great Dane from the pound as I have just done, who somehow has managed to cut his tail and has left streaks and spatters of blood on everything. And I do mean everything. My house now looks like a re-run of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Good luck in Paris – that’s heart-cockle-warming news!
Congrats!! and maud is so cute – I love watching my dog when she sleeps! I’m just back from London and I was really hoping to make it to your shop but the time just flew by… defo next time!
Thank you x
How lovely is Maud?? I recently lost my dog of 12 years so seeing dog pictures brings me to close to tears , but at the same time it is great to see so many happy and loved animals xx
You poor poor thing I am so sorry – when I lost Molly who was four last year I was beyond devasted so I totally understand what you are going through. It gets easier with time but having said that you never forget them and now I am tearing up thinking of Molly. It will get easier promise
thank you for your kind words and sending you my best wishes xx
“MOI!” to Maud. She is so adorable, and I can feel the beautiful soul in her eyes. xxxxx to her!
Fantastic news about your Parisienne exhibition Abigail. I hope you’ve got enough of your lamps in production! Merci! xo
Thank you Jen very sweet of you
