Beach

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season.

I went to the beach.

A peaceful moment..

Quiet but the sound of waves..

Movement...

Every moment is different..

New Year is around the corner!

Are you ready for it?

Merry Christmas!

Hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday!

Love,

New Amsterdam Market

Joanne and I went to New Amsterdam Market last Sunday.

Unfortunately, it was very windy and rainy day but I still enjoyed the market.

There were some coffee vendors at the market, so I tried stumptown's coffee and it was good!

So glad to see her again in NY! I had a great good time with her.

Hope she has a safe trip back home to Montreal tomorrow...

Thank you, Joanne! xo

Love

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

I went to Whitney museum yesterday and I really enjoyed current exhibitions. Especially, Charles Ledray's exhibition!

And Tomorrow... I am going to see Joanne who is visiting NY from Montreal, Canada and we are going to New Amsterdam Market in Brooklyn together! Hope the weather will be nice ...

Have a great weekend, everyone! xo

Another rainy day

I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain;

What a wonderful feeling, I'm happy again!

We have another rain...

My friend and I went to see Carmen at the Metropolitan Opera last night.

It was a French opera and absolutely fantastic!!

Have a great weekend, everyone! xo

Rain

Thank you all for recommending me the great French songs!!

It was raining yesterday. It was humid and warm around 70 degrees which was unusual! I love this kind of the weather in October. Even November and December would be nice...

My friend is visiting NY with her 3 year old son and her mom from Japan, and they are going to stay in my place, so I was cleaning the rooms and went grocery shopping this evening. I haven't seen my friend for almost 20 years, so I am so excited to see her!

** I love their designs...

Autumn colors

Thank you so much for all the comments about my holiday designs.

I will let you know when they are ready at the sotre.

It's getting colder here day by day and the leaves started to change to autumn colors...

Halloween is soon around the corner!

Lately, I have been listening to a lot of 60s French pop like, France Gall.

I like her voice... What is your favorite French songs?

Holiday designs

I can't believe that Christmas is only a few months away!

I was working on the holiday designs for TinyPrints and

I wanted to share with you some of the designs...

stars

Dreams are like stars...you may never touch them,

but if you follow them they will lead you to your destiny.

I am so sorry for the delay of my post.

It's almost October!

It's amazing how time went by so fast.

I got a gift from Chailin the other day. Pretty star sand....

Thank you, Chialin!

I have been working on holiday cards for TinyPrints.

I would love to show you some sketches next time!

September

The weather is absolutely gorgeous today!

It's already September and I feel like that I want to do something new.

So, I decided to take a ballet class at Peridance Center.

I went to a shop yesterday and bought a pair of ballet flats.

I have never done ballet before, so I am excited!

Hope you all have a great weekend! xo

Goodbye Summer

This is the last weekend of August. I can't believe that Summer is almost over...

too fast! The weather was gorgeous, so the greenmarket was very crowded but I enjoyed it. The veggies, fruits, flowers were fresh, beautiful and terrific smell. They're so inspiring me!

How was your Summer?

Hope you all enjoy the last weekend of August!

Pebbles

“My life is full of mistakes. They're like pebbles that make a good road.”

I found some pretty pebbles on the beach and brought them home last weekend...

Have a great weekend everyone! xo

A trip to Quogue, Long Island

I went to visit Joanne in Quogue, Long Island last weekend.

It was so great to see her and her daughter, Yasu again!

The weather was gorgeous, so we spent most of the time at the beach.

I loved the smell of the ocean. It remained me of my hometown..

I went for a walk in the early morning. I saw a baby deer.. There were beautiful trees and wild flowers all over... It's so nice to get out of the city!

Joanne and Yasu are leaving for Japan tomorrow. It will be a long flight.

Hope they have a safe trip to Japan!
