lovely linen

Greet LeFevre, talented blogger and business woman, introduced the  readers of her beautiful blog Belgian Pearls to the linen products of Libeco, an established textile company in Belgium. I love linen, wearing it all summer at home and on beach vacations in the winter as I am a total wimp in the heat and need loose soft fabrics that breathe. They offer a beautiful well designed product line in perfect soft muted colors. Take a look.....

Shopping on their website is easy, they ship to the US. For a list of US stores that carry Libeco, go here.

this week on etsy...Turkish towels

Marta de la Rica

 They are widely used in Europe, known for their ability to dry as quickly as towels and for their softness, beauty, affordability and durability. They can be used in the bath, at the beach, as throws on the sofa, over your shoulders as a shawl or worn as sarongs.

Etsy seller Bath Style sells stylish turkish towels in lots of great colors and stripes. They are also perfect in your suitcase for impromptu picnics, chilly evenings and beach outings while traveling.

beautiful bathing

I take a bath every day. My favorite soaps to add scent and softness are made in Portugal by Claus Porto and I also like Rance soaps, made in France.

Porto scents also come in liquid form for the sink.

tub love

As a daily tub bather, I love beautiful bath tubs. This feminine bath has a barreled ceiling, marble tub and counters, a crystal chandelier, soft wallpapered walls, a mirrored vanity with natural light and a great tiled floor. Who wouldn't love to start or end the day here?
