Hello May !

Hello May :-) Outside is beautifully blue today and I’m overflowing with warmth and serenity. The Summer is definitely on its way and Spring is finally here.

Of course the first place I run to is my own room – wonderful memories – but that’s not the one I’m talking about. There’s another, more mysterious room. My Mom’s room – well, her side of the room, her “dressing room” area. Beautiful fabrics, textures, colours, embroidery, heels … Continue reading
