Description
Stripes and roses were Grand-mère Jeanne’s two great loves. Her kitchen in the Dordogne had blue-striped curtains, blue-striped tea towels and a blue-striped apron hanging behind the door, and every windowsill held a jam jar of roses from the bush by the gate. Her grandchildren grew up thinking that was simply how a happy house was supposed to look.
This heart brings her kitchen to mind. Fresh blue stripes run across its surface, interrupted by painted rose motifs that soften the pattern with a romantic touch. It is a lovely way to say I love you on Valentine’s Day, to mark an anniversary or to thank a mother for all the years of care. On a dresser, a kitchen shelf or a nightstand, it holds jewellery or small treasures and adds a cheerful note to the room. Pair it with a bunch of garden roses for a gift that feels both personal and generous, and that she will remember long after the flowers have faded. Its fresh look also suits a summer house by the sea. Rose growers, in particular, will spot the painted blooms with pleasure.
