September's Bliss

I had a great sunday afternoon in Paris. I first wanted to go at the Guimet museum and as It was just next to the Eiffel Tower, I couldn' help go to see the beautiful "Dame de Fer".

I made this illustration yesterday. I love so much japanese sakura trees, I dream to go to Japan one day during their blossoming period.

This morning my boyfriend offered me these two cute coffee cups, I'm mad of Hello Kitty, yes I'm 32 years old...

These are the last photographs and illustrations I added in my Etsy Shop.

I'm so flattered that holly of Decor8 featured my work ! I'm a big fan of her blog and It's really an honour to be a part of It ! You can have a lok at It here.

Some of the pics I took during my last trip to Paris...

These some of the last illustrations with my new bamboo tablet,It's so fun to use It ! At the moment, my biggest influence is japan, and especially Hokusai paintings.

This is a glimpse of the wonderful decoration Séverine made at her wedding's reception. The main thema was the fairy tales and each table was decorated according a fairy tale. Ours was the Cinderella one.

These are some pictures I took during the wonderful wedding of my chidhood's friend, Séverine. We had a great day full of emotions.

Saturday evening, I celebrate one of my childhood's friend's bachelor party. Severine and Sebastien are getting married on july 4th and I can't wait this great event ! We had so much fun during that party, everybody put 80's costumes, we sang in the streets and finished the night singing old songs in a chinese karaoke.

Yesterday afternoon, we had a long and so nice walk with my lover in a wood near my town. There you can find weird trees with strange shapes (middle picture), they look a bit like tall bonsai, they are quite famous here, we call them 'les faux de Verzy". There's no clear explanation about the reason of their uncommon shape and that's also that mystery that makes me love them. I will return there to take more pictures of these beautiful trees.

Another retro-styled pic I took in Montmartre.

I took this picture in the "Jardins du Luxembourg" in Paris. I love this so cute bird kiss !

I have just learned that Bat of Lashes launched a new album these days. It was a wonderful discovery when I listened to their first album a few years ago. I love their universe and the singer's voice makes me think of Bjork's one, my favorite singer. That's the kind of music that inspires me.

Some pics of the last time I went to Paris, these were mostly taken in Montmartre. I love this vintage board, "Au lapin Agile", this cabaret doesn't exist anymore unfortunately but It gives a nice idea of the atmosphere that might has been in there.

Each time I go to Paris, this is the place I love to wander around. I took Montmartre hundreds of times in picture but each time I find a new way to capture Its streets with the feeling of the moment.

Last saturday, I discovered one of the most famous place of Paris, "les jardins du Luxembourg", a lovely place. I realized that I had not seen all the beauty of this town yet. I was especially amazed by the "fontaine Medicis".

My boyfriend offered me this beautiful tea box. It's one of the most famous french tea and It's so delicious, this one has a taste of flowers.

I have made this illustration today, I'm still inspired by spring and nature at the moment...

Today I had one hour of spare time and a rest of peanut butter, so I decided to make some cookies, they are delicious ! Let me know if you want the recipe...

I had a fantastic day last saturday with my mom. We couldn't help to go once again in Montmartre, taking some pics and bying linen for mom's dress for my wedding. The only thing I missed that day is a good restaurant in Montmartre...

For a few days I try to find ideas of floral compositions that I could do myself for my wedding. For the moment, I'm only decided on the main flower, It's will be the without any doubt the orchid, I'm mad of this flower.
