If you’re looking for something a little bit different to furnish your home, then you should take a look at some of the soft interior furnishings created by Susan Inglis, Creative Designer at The Purple Thistle.
Using Scottish fabrics such as Harris Tweed, mixed with a variety of different cottons, Susan has produced a range of beautifully hand-crafted products for the home with a decidedly Scottish twist to them. In addition to classic cushions decorated with well-known Scottish icons such as Scottie dogs and Highland cows, she supplies wedding favors, personal gifts and trendy accessories, also adorned with Scottish emblems such as thistles and stags, etc.
When the curtain goes down on a Béjart Ballet performance, audiences all over the world have the sensation of waking from a beautiful dream. Sadly they also share that familiar frustration of wanting to recall each detail, to relive and record on their memory’s hard drive, and being unable to do so. A new book of photographs compiled by Sándor Szabados, Managing Director of Beyond The Lens Publications, promises to enrich the post-theater waking hours of Béjart Ballet fans everywhere with its 150 photographs of 16 choreographies, captured by nine professional photographers. Whilst books have been published on Maurice Béjart, and his successor Gil Roman, there has never been a book published featuring the visual beauty of their actual ballet performances. The hard-cover, full-colour book, printed in 8 languages, was designed and printed in the canton of Vaud, home of the ballet company. It will be available from 3 November 2014 in all major bookstores including Payot Fnac, Manor and Naville and from other prestigious retailers priced at CHF 69.00.
An exhibition at the Cité du Temps from 30 October to 30 November 2014, entitled "Béjart Ballet Lausanne World Tour with Gil Roman”, also showcases some of the photographs and doubles as the global launch of the book, which bears the same name. Click here to download the exhibition flyer.

Are you attracted to beautiful objects, do you love having an elegant agenda to write your appointments in, do you feel that paper is still necessary in the age of electronic devices? Then you must visit Marianne Domec's newly renovated quaint boutique in the heart of old Vésenaz! She will open up a world of personalized stationery and custom invitations suitable to anyone, as well as a fantastic range of desk accessories.
Marianne tells us, "We are trying to create a fashionable desk: acrylic desk accessories, golden scissors, file folders in soft pastel colors, good-looking notebooks, journals, sticky notes, notepads, and pretty pens and pencils from Kate Spade. It's all about the stylish desk… no more ugly folders!"
Personalized stationery is an expression of one’s individuality and sense of style, and Un Petit Mot in Vieux-Vésenaz presents choices for those who recognize that handwritten letters and cards are an enduring gift of sentiment, and an expression of personal style whose time is definitely not past. At first, choosing personal stationery or custom invitations can seem like a daunting task: there are so many choices, where does one begin? Marianne Domec’s special talent is to guide her clients through the galaxy of options.
"Hello,
I just wanted to let you know about a new direction that OffTheShelf will be taking soon.
On 31st August of this year, OffTheShelf and Payot Chantepoulet will merge and OffTheShelf will no longer exist as a separate entity - we will integrate our books and our ordering setup into Chantepoulet’s English Department. By combining our strengths in this way, OffTheShelf’s knowledge and experience with Payot’s size and infrastructure, we feel we can better serve the English book needs of Geneva.
I, Lisa, and other members of OffTheShelf’s staff will be moving there too. The idea is to recreate OffTheShelf within Chantepoulet as much as possible - the same book knowledge, the same English-speaking welcome, the same service with a smile, and the same ordering capabilities - so that hopefully our customers will continue to feel as at home with us over there as here. (We’ll even be keeping the same telephone number and e-mail address for quite a while, so you can carry on contacting us that way, and any calls or messages will come through to us automatically over there).
