Friday Dreaming: La Roulotte at Mikodesign

I am on the net pretty often, writing here, looking for new little projects to do, reading my favourite blogs and of course running the Light Garden. And while I’m doing all that I often stumble across great ideas, beautiful objects, things that make me all tingly inside!

I am also definitely a dreamer. For me, half the fun is imagining what could be. I see these ideas and want to make them, and imagine my dream home with special hand made things in it.

So I have decided to start 'Friday Dreaming' a space to record these ideas and finds, to share them with you and to help me remember them when I can finally make all those wishes and dreams come true!

And for this first Friday Dreaming I want to share this gorgeous French Gypsy caravan –La Roulotte - made by Erika (and family) from Mikodesign, (found via Maya*Made). Making something like this is definitely a dream at the moment…we live in a rented apartment without our own garden (there is a sorry little space out the front of the apartments with some trees and a dangerous ledge though). This is definitely something for the dream home we want to make one day.

You can click here for a 'tour', here for her gorgeous blog and here for her equally gorgeous shop on Etsy. In her shop you can find beautiful hand printed textile items - like the very cute elephant t-shirts and babushka kids underwear sets! - and hand printed Frida Kahlo cards and gift bags! She had an amazing Frida Kahlo party for one of her children - so much fun!

Thank you Erika for sharing this wonderful project with us!
