By the river







Small paradise to build miniature wooden "huts" or rock castles, while Myrtille enjoys a little bath.

Lakeside





Ballade by the lake with Grand-Papa, who took some excellent pictures.

Allo...


And while we're enjoying the swiss countryside, we're staying in touch with Daddy/Michael, who's still in California...

Swiss bunnies






We have arrived (in Switzerland), enjoying our family, the neighbours, and ... the bunnies. Kyan and Anastasia are crazy about them and spend quite a lot of time in the bunny park... It's true, they're adorable, even if it often ends up with a chase in the bushes to catch the runaways...

Oh, a new room...



The last bedroom of the house is almost done. Michael worked really hard on the plaster, paint and details, and the second room of the second floor is now quickly becoming our favorite place in the house. Spacious, bright, and still very uncluttered... Ahhhh...

Best buddies





The other major element of the weekend was the visit of my friend Delphine and her son, super-duper friend of Kyan and Anastasia. Since they now live 500 miles away, we don't see each other as often as we'd like, and the three of them were absolutely thrilled to be together again. And since the weather finally decided to take a warmer direction, we got to go to the beach...

Around the World







Well, this amateur sale was in fact a lot more professional than most events I took part in so far. Aside from my culinary experiences between stitches, and a few last minute surprises ("We ran out of tables, you'll need to bring your own table...", easy with a Beetle already filled with my merchandise, and the trunk loaded with drinks for the event...), it was really fun, I met many, many interesting people, as much with other vendors as with visitors, made a few contacts, and got ideas for the future. The sale took place in lovely house with a garden, the ambiance was very international and laid-back. I'm expecting the result of my sales shortly, but I must have broken my record (that said, it's not very difficult...).
