LE PETIT CABINET DE CURIOSITES

they are gone

I said Bye Bye ( aurevoir) to all these pieces and even more, thanks to my Boutique online , These treasures are cherished and loved in another house, in another country ,in another atmosphere. Every single treasure has a new life far away from me.
Some are in France , some in Spain, some in Italy, some in Great Britain , most of them are in the States, some in Canada , some in Norway, some in Germany, some in Dubaï, some in Mexico , some in Australia , some in south Africa ( may be not too far away from my french soccer team) , some in Brazil...

I know that with you my dear friends and customers they will be loved ...

My day

If I were a scent I'd be Mimosa

If I were a month I’d be May

If I were a day I’d be Saturday

If I were a time of day I’d be noon

If I were a planet I’d be the Sun

 If I were a sea animal I’d be a Dolphin

If I were a direction I’d be south

If I were a piece of furniture I’d be a coffee table

If I were a liquid I'd be a Fruit juice

 If I were a tree I’d be a cherry tree

If I were a tool I’d be an hammer

If I were a flower I’d be a peony

If I were an element of weather I’d be Sunshine

If I were a musical instrument I’d be a piano

If I were a color I'd be pink

If I were an emotion I’d be Happy

If I were a fruit I’d be a banana

If I were a sound I’d be the water of the river

If I were an element I'd be Silver

If I were a car I’d be an old one , may be Porsche

If I were a food I’d be cheese

If I were a place I’d be Cassis ( a little provencal harbour)

If I were a material I'd be Silk

If I were a taste I’d be melted chocolate

This post was inspired by Constance , at Rochambeau

Today , As I'm turning 34 years old I wanted to share a part of me with you

Love xox

something new in internet

This post has nothing to do with antiques , nothing to do with interior design , nothing to do with Provence.
But it has something to do with blogging , internet and visual comfort on computers ( something we have to deal with , everyday)

It has also something to do with my fiancé ...
