Well it probably does not come as a surprise to many that the Bangkok trip was postponed. Our thoughts were with our friends and colleagues in Bangkok – we will be visiting very soon.
The Bali trip did go as planned but we have to confess it was not all work and no play. In fact it wasn’t very dull at all if you look at the sparkling water around our new favourite resort, Karma Kandara (pictured).
It was Jennie’s birthday so we just had to take a look. Anyone would, right?
Food was also a highlight on this trip (as it is on every trip). New to us was a food destination - Pili Pili Warung in Seminyak. Yum!
And we did work. Promise.
Jennie says it was all things woven that caught her eye on this trip - woven straw, woven metal, woven fabrics and chainmail.
“But best of all was the inspiration I always get from being in a beautiful environment, experiencing rituals and seeing how they enrich life. Observing the creating of the moment and then the enjoying of it. It slows you down, it connects you to your surroundings. It’s wonderful.”
One insight shared on the trip was a design forecast we never expected to hear from Jennie’s mouth. She uttered the phrase, “pastels are the new bright”. We don’t think we are going to hold her to it but on the other hand - you never know!
