Le lendemain

Le 25 décembre, à Marseille.

Enjoy your last day of 2011!

Christmas Eve

At my parents' in Marseille.

Mugs

I have a soft spot for mugs. I loved these ones on Charlotte's photo.
Now I have mines.

Almost there

One more day to go (and believe me, not the calmest or the easiest one), and I am off to Marseille.
I really hope I will be able to make a break during 2 days and just enjoy time with my family.

I want to thank you all for your comments, your visits and your sweet words on my photos. They really do mean a lot to me!

Wishing you all a happy Hanukkah and a merry Christmas!

La tarte

Thank you so much for your sweet comments!

Self

It feels always weird to publish self portraits. Ida expressed it much better than I could.

Laurence

After dropping Solal at the station today, I was sad. Most my friend are happy to have a few days off without kid(s). I don't know that feeling. I always miss him terribly.

Well... to make a long story short, I was vulnerable. I went into a shop, let a guy put make up on me and convinced me that purple was my color and that I should put green on my circles to make them disappear. He told me that the red on my lips was good but that I should try a wonderful and brighter one called moulin rouge.
I went out of the place with far too much make up on me and having bought everything!
And you know what? I did not even feel bad... It made me think about something else (yes I know 5 days are nothing... well at 2:30 pm, it seemed almost unbearable to me)

I went back home, fixed a quick cake (à la fleur d'oranger) and waited for my friend who needed some new shots for a portfolio. After taking advantage of the 10 last minutes of good light, we had tea and chit chat.
Again my mind was somewhere else...

Still, I can't wait to see him on Friday!

From my window

I can't get tired of the view I have from my living room window.

I have finished two rolls yesterday: yay! More to come really soon :)

We have found a few more additional surprise presents yesterday. I packed everything: phew! I think we might have to bring two big suitcases just for the weekend!
Can't wait to spend Christmas with my family, I have not seen them since August.

What are you planning for the holidays?

It's Friday!!!

It has been a crazy week. Work has been on my mind 24/7 and I know that next week won't be better. So I am really happy and looking forward to the weekend break!!

Solal is leaving for Marseille on Sunday afternoon and we will join him on the night of the 23rd to celebrate Christmas with my family.

Ville Haute, Névache

Thank you all so much for your comments. I guess we all need a dash of summer light into our rainy winter days.
These were taken in a beautiful hamlet: Ville Haute in the Névache valley. We arrived there after a long walk in the woods. I miss so much our hikes.

Looking back

Work and bugs did not leave me much time lately.
I did not take a lot a photos (3 semaines que je ne suis pas allé chez négatif plus, tu le crois, Marion?)
I dug into my archives and realized there are a lot of photos I have never posted.
It feels so good to go back to our summer holidays.
