Meet Rose

Hellomynameisrose

Hi! I’m Rose and I’m an artist, designer, and writer living outside of Istanbul in Turkey.  I’m so excited to be here at Colette bringing you visual weekly treats about art, fabric, beautiful objects, and things that make our homes and studios come to life. There are so many things that make me feel inspired. From the right light in a sun-filled room, to a busy desk with work in progress, from carpet patterns to hand-stitched embroidery, I hope to share many things with you and to kindle the imagination while you cut, sew, draw, cook at home, take a walk, daydream…

Here are a few of my favorite things.

Iron+fabric+display

  1. My Tefal Supergliss steam iron. 2. Quilting fat-quarter and half-yard fabrics from Anna Maria Horner and Amy Butler, plus vintage remnants, too. I especially love seeing them stacked neatly on my work table. 3. Artfully arranged objects at home; my constantly rotating collection of photos, tiny sculptures, candles and boxes, including a lovely vintage tray from Emily Lynch Vintage.

What are some of  your favorite things?

Hello Rose,
I love your favourite things. I’ve had quite the lovely time of it browsing and wandering about in your links.
I’ve even got soup now too by following your link to Anna Maria Horner.
I’d been looking for soup inspiration. Happy Saturday.
I’m off to paint my wardrobe doors now.
