Back from vacation in Maine

As always great moments pass so fast and then we are back to the daily routine. This time vacation in Maine was almost week long but went by like 24h. I am famous for my addiction to everything Maine coast related, its design, architecture, amazing flee markets, art galleries, unique concept stores, I can go on and on and on.
I guess I will start with my favorite blankets and pillows that I found in Portland, ME in the Furniturea. The blankets from The Brahms Mount I know extremely well and I love the one I bought last year! This time, the object of my admiration and love from the first sight were stone pillows, as seen below.
They stayed in my memory and now I found out who makes them. To my great pleasure and pride it is a Polish art collective Fivetimesone. As I am Polish myself, I take every opportunity to write, twit and share the news abou talented Polish designers, artists and all those who are creative. I like Fivetimesone for their love of nature, ecology friendly approach and respect for the European craftsmanship. Those pillow caught my eye right away. Congratulations!!! It was incredible to see pieces from Poland as far as in Portland, ME.
Every few days I would try to share my finds from last trip on this blog.
