congratulations Briana!!

last day for the giveaway!!!

Tomorrow I will let my boy pick a winner:)

oh no, she didn't ....

For almost two years I try to grow my hair, without cutting...
yesterday i got the itch. Suddenly I though my hair was boring and needed a fix subiet. At ten in the evening no salon available, so I decided to do it myself. Ofcourse Desasterville was the only destiny I was heading to. somehow I managed to stop at a very crucial moment and made the decision to let a hairdresser finish the job.

Present time: I am sooooo hapy with my new haircut and just the look on her face when she first saw my coupe du crise, was worth it. My very talented hairdresser did tease me with all the brilliant ideas that could have been, would have been mine if not for my temporarily insanity!

En route

Another package is on it's way! I still find it amazing when a package arrives in for instants Hong Kong, Essen or Orleans.
I always go look in my atlas to see where it is, the place to wich something I made is going. The fact that thousand miles away someone is using/ wearing my work is so exciting and almost surreal. Somehow reality, much more then dreams or fantasy, surprise me and gives me the feeling I am in a fairytale. At the same time I feel more alive because of the energy that comes with it.

the hunter

whuut:), originally uploaded by ilfautmanger.

I spent many hours a week on thrifting, browsing the internet and attending fleemarkets to look for fabric, leather, thread, buttons etc etc. Yesterday was a great hunt!! I feel so lucky ever when I find something fabulous. This time it was two big big rolls of vintage fabric!
