September's Bliss

I had a great afternoon in Montmartre. I have never been there during the Christmas period, It becomes even more magical than during the rest of the year. The Sacre-Coeur and the "Place du Tertre" are so wonderful surrounded by all the Christmas lights !

Marie from "Le voyage créatif" interviewed me last sunday. She featured It on her beautiful blog here.

Yesterday evening I watched again one of my fave movies ever : "Lost in Translation" directed by Sofia Coppola, It's really a masterpiece, such a wonderful source of inspiration for me and It show the Japan I love, very dreamy and cosy. It's so obvious that Sofia Coppola was a photographer before becoming a so talented director. I can't wait to see her new movie, I heard It will be based on Vincent Gallo's life, That sounds weird but quite interesting.

This afernoon, I go visiting a yummy exibition about chocolate ! I will probaby bring back some delicious recipes, I hope I can find some macarons...
Here are some of my last Etsy images. I'm thinking about creating a 2010 calendar with my Paris pictures, What do you think about that ?

I'm mad of macarons and today I'm going to try to make some with "foie gras", I hope I will succeed...

I have made a delightful discovery when visiting the Guimet museum last sunday, this japanese little garden inside the museum. So peaceful and beautiful !

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.
