Made with Love - Anchor Organizing Box -




A few months ago one of my favorite pair of Uranium earrings was broken… I was kind of sad… Well kind of really, really, really sad! I have simply failed to let them go so I decided to give them a second life. All I had needed to get there was some white paint, a brush, a hot glue gun and a ready to paint wooden box from the dollar store. A little sanding of the anchor, a little bit of hot glue, some primer and of course a couple of layers of white paint. Add to that many hours of waiting and here is the final result! Now let see if my man will really make a good use of it!

Il y a quelques mois un de mes paires préférées de boucles d’oreilles Uranium s’est brisées … J’étais triste ... si triste… J’en ai presque pleurer! Ahahahhhh! Je n’ai simplement pas réussie à les laisser partir et j'ai donc décidé de leur donner une seconde vie. Tout ce dont j’ai eu de besoin pour y arriver; un peu de peinture blanche, un pinceau, un pistolet à colle chaude et une boîte en bois prête à peindre du fameux dollorama. Un petit sablage d’ancre de bateau, un peu de colle chaude, une couche d’après, quelques couches de blanc… plusieurs heures de patience et voilà le résultat! Reste à savoir si mon copain va vraiment en faire bon usage!

Curioser and Curioser – Armand de Brignac Champagne –




It’s Friday and it’s party time with the girls tonight! So why not talk about champagne! Even better, talk about champagne that comes in metallic bottles ornate with hand applied spades shaped labels! For those who know me well, you will immediately understand that it is not the alcohol that caught my attention (cough) but the spades! I’m so addicted to this card game figure! The precious bottle is also wrapped in an embroidered velvet bag. Oh la la! That’s what we called celebrating in style and here it is totally the case. André Courrèges, a Parisian fashion house, designed the bottle.

C’est vendredi et on fait la fête entre les filles ce soir! Alors, parler de champagne est tout à fait de mise! Encore mieux, parler de champagne dans une bouteille métallique ornée d’une étiquette appliquée à la main en forme de pique! Ceux et celles qui me connaissent bien comprendront tout de suite que ce n’est pas du tout (tousse) l’alcool qui a attiré mon attention, mais bien le pique! Je suis complètement addict à cette figure de jeux de carte! De plus, le liquide précieux est emballé dans un sac de velours brodé. Oh la la! C’est ce qu’on appelle célébrer avec style! Et c’est tout à fait le cas ici. André Courrèges, maison de mode parisienne, a créé la bouteille.

CURIOSER and CURIOSER – CHRISTOPHER CON ASKEW ART –




I discovered CHRISTOPHER CON ASKEW art by getting tattooed at PSC shop and looking at one of his print for several hours. I was intrigued by the simplicity and complexity of his work. Dark and hopeful, the lines are clean and sharp but really soft at the same time. I fell in love with all the subtle contrast in all of his trade. To learn more about him or his work visiti his website: sekretcity.com.
