My Atelier

by lepetitcoquin March 23, 2012

This space is something I have always dreamed of but never thought I merited….I get lost here, time disappears and I find myself hours later amid my ribbons and beads and more recently, covered in wood shavings and dust from sanding old wooden bobbins. Who would have thought that a Dremel 300 would replace my […]

Fashion and Art collide

by lepetitcoquin January 4, 2011

I came across these images in an old issue of Elle Deco and really wanted to share them. I adore the colours and the wonderful compositions, the glamour and of course the sneak peek into these artists studios.

First walk of 2011

by lepetitcoquin January 4, 2011

I finally made it out of the house this morning after bidding our dear friends Caroline and Ciaran goodbye. We had a fantastic few days but I’m in dire need of a detox and some fresh air so the little guy and I donned our woolly hats and fleeces and braved the cold.

What an amazing start to what I really feel is going to be a magnificent year! Today we threw a lunch for new and old friends and family, what started as an intimate lunch for eight turned into lunch for eighteen as every one of our invitees responded to say they’d love to join us. […]

Edith Mezard

by lepetitcoquin December 30, 2010

In a bid for freedom, I went for a wander in the nearby village of Lumieres where I happened upon the beautiful shop of Edith Mezard, it was incredibly dressed and took my breath away so wanted to share a few photographs which don’t by any means to it justice. Within the actual stable part […]
