Life in Normandy, bursting with activity!

Working like mad to get everything done!
Preparing the construction of the barn. Plants arriving for the various projects. And taking care of the horses! But we love it!

Sophisticated recycling, DEDEM Creations uses vintage french linen for fun jackets

French vintage bedlinen is ideal to use for clothing! The texture of the material makes the motive very strong and graphic. Very comfortable to wear as well, and something different!



DEDEM Velvet Jackets have arrived!

Just received velvet jackets. So rich and beautiful, nice for winter! Easy to wear, water resistant and can be machine washed! The batik really works well on velvet!

Buis de France.com 'Slowly working to perfection'

Just spend 2 days pruning Box plants. Buis de France.com has a large collection of different sizes, and shapes. Those fields with all those different buis, which are pruned once a year to structure their forms, and slowly they reach their perfect form!
It's fascinating as one becomes a sculpture and at the same time this deep respect for the beauty of the Buis. Some of them are more than 4o years. By pruning them annually they have become very sturdy and full of energy. The proof is that this summer's high temperatures and drought didn't affect them very much.
