Earlier this week, my maptastic friend Anne from Prêt-à-Voyager featured me in her wonderful BOARDING PASS series. I'm so honored to be in company of some amazing fellow travelers like Sivan Askayo, Pia Jane Bijkerk and Elodie Rambaud. Check it out here, I included images, animated gifs and a little video.

The sweet cure
Eleven years ago, when working in fashion with lots of fabrics, I started sneezing. And I never stopped: I became "allergic". Allergic to dust, to synthetic perfumes, to dark chocolate, to alcohol, to eucalyptus… After a few years I started taking antihistamines, which keep me from sneezing all day long. Last week I realized that Read article…
I’m lost in Cheeseland
Maybe you've seen it? Last friday I was featured on Lindsey's wonderful blog called Lost in Cheeseland. As part of the Franco File Friday series I answered a few questions about my life in France. Although my day-to-day life certainly doesn't consist of (only) sipping wine & munching on cheese, and whilst I sometimes struggle Read article…
Twelve and a half
No exchange of gifts or "something special" planned for today, but nevertheless we're celebrating our 12 1/2th marriage anniversary! In most countries that's no big deal, but in Holland & Denmark it is. For us it's simply a good excuse for an extra kiss ;o) One of the pretty gifts my husband gave me in Read article…

Gnome’s homes
While it has been snowing in large parts of Europe ( it IS december after all! ), we enjoyed a nice autumn sun in the Oise this last couple of days. Flipping through one of my photo albums I found these two photos of myself in the forest nearby our home ( wearing the same Read article…
Hens and Roosters
The sound of hens immediately takes me back to the garden of my grandparents. My grandma used to keep hens in a shed and as a little girl I didn't dare to come anywhere near them: their feathers & unpredictability freaked me out. I know my grandma's hens were brown, but it's mostly their clucking Read article…
The balcony scene
IKEA just sent me some additional shots from our photoshoot earlier this year. I remember this moment very well: we posed on the balcony of Studio Sapique when it started to rain. Our view was hilarious: to protect the camera & laptop from raindrops, the assistant covered them with his coat. From our angle he Read article…
Dans un jardin
Earlier this summer, my husband & I spent some time in this Parisian jardin where he proposed to me over 14 years ago. We had not been back since. It felt completely different & yet I felt at least just as happy as back in 1998. Can you guess in which garden I took this Read article…
A very special week
It was a very special week, exactly 12 years ago. We spent a lovely week with family and close friends, enjoying good food & wine, the beautiful Massif des Maures and each others company. At the end of the week, right after the Bastille Day festivities, we were married. We rented a remote farm in Read article…
