Rebecca Dautremer
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010If I would only be allowed to have an extra wish of mine granted, I would (maybe dare to) ask for a gift to see & draw like Rebecca Dautremer does. Aha, not a very small wish… but look at her stuff!
I’m slowly collecting books illustrated by her that I like, Djeco puzzles and so on… Now there is also a film… Eleanor’s secret… The English dubbing isn’t as good as French, but still – it’s a lovely story . And it’s Rebecca’s drawings…
Oh well, if the birthday fairy comes, I know world does not need another Rebecca, I would ask for something simpler… but still, what a magic world one person can create!
Lavash crisps
Thursday, May 20th, 2010I love food. And carbohydrates are my friends. They shouldn’t be, but I don’t do well without some bread or some lovely baked goodies in my life. So today, thanks to this post, I bought Lavash and surprised my family with a little treat. These crisps are so simple, so delicious, so not too bad for you! Takes only minutes to prepare and can be a great appetizer (or a nibble) served with hummus or a selection of dips. Hello Lavash – we like you!
whole wheat Lavash wrap
a couple of tbsp of olive oil or melted butter
black pepper and some herbs
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put lavash on a baking sheet, brush each piece with some olive oil, generously season with pepper (feel free to improvise, we used caraway seeds and Herbes de Provence) . Toast in oven until crisp and golden, about 5-10 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet before breaking into pieces to serve.
For a sweet version use Agave nectar and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
I’m craving them all over again!
Adelie
Sunday, May 16th, 2010Bring me back to my early years and give me Adelie! Ah… I would keep her now, but really, she’s made for little hands to take her into the big world, full of fun, adventures and lots and lots of love…
2 of the dresses are reversible: no1
weekend bag that will fit more than a few treats
Hope she finds a good home. Hope I’ll make more cats…
SOLD.

Friday, May 7th, 2010for you
Sunday, May 2nd, 2010the one and only
Sunday, May 2nd, 2010Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

Saturday, May 1st, 2010Les 7 Doigts de la Main – Psy.
Not your typical circus. It’s contemporary, with amazing story-line, scenography, performances and music. Oh…I loved it! My 8 year old loved it. We think more people should see it.
Beautiful.
