About Me

Hi ! I'm from France !

I live in west of France with my daughter (who is 15).

I love Nature and poetry, birds and clouds... and witchcraft (which comes from nature too).

And I love kawaïï too ! (yes, I'm a real girl...)

Favorite Books

I'm fond of litterature (and that's even my job because I'm a teacher), especially poetry. And I write too.

My favorite writers in french are Genevoix, Proust, Hugo, Flaubert... and a lot of others who have not been translated yet ! (especially poets)

But I enjoy reading JK Tools, Howard Norman, John Fowles, Vladimir Nabokov or Hermann Hesse too.

Colours

I love purple, pink (all sorts of pink, but particularly fuchsia which is for me the color of happiness and energy !) and green, pale or dark blue... But I don't like orange and grey. I prefer vivid colors anyway.

Scents

I'm fond of coconut and vanilla ! I love spicies too (cinnamon etc). And chocolate. And all scents with sugar in (like marshmallow for example). I'm specially in love with the smell of the fig... I like lemon too but not orange !

Favorite Crafts

I have no time to crafts as before when I was younger... but I always enjoy making beautiful envelopes and letters, and I'll try to choose beautiful stamps to send your little packets (and I would appreciate to receive some lovely stamps too) !

Favorite artists

  • Lars Jonsson for his fantastic birds so realistic ;
  • Marjolein Bastin for the same reason ;
  • Zao Wou Ki for his colours and the dream we can put on his paints ;
  • Bubi Au Yeung for Treeson ;
  • Ayako Takagi for Uamou ;
  • Yoskai Yamamoto for Koibito etc ;
  • Yoshitomo Nara for The Little Wanderer...

Other...

I try to buy organic when it's possible : in food or cosmetic.

Tea is one of my passions : all kinds of tea except "earl grey" (with bergamot). And I love herbal tea too.

I'm attracted by asian arts, especially calligraphy (but I don't practice).

I absolutely love birds (and collect postcards and stamps - and anything else anyway ! - with birds).

I'm fascinated by stones.

And I have a little collection of art toys (we call them "urban designer toys" too, but my collection focuses on these ones which have a link with Nature or kawaii - I don't appreciate monsters and all the stuff !).

I keep collecting lovely erasers too (I began when I was a child !).

English is not my mother tongue (as you have already guessed I suppose...), but I love to communicate and discover !

Dislikes

To definitely avoid bad surprises, I prefer to confess I hate any representations of cities or sports... and the most beautiful landscape for me is without any human presence ! Yes I know... But I really love birds and animals and flowers and trees and real primary poetry of Nature. Thank you !

If...

I would like to say that, if my profile isn't enough for your creativity, or if you want to make my lovely daughter be happy, you can send anything funny !!! Her name is Jeanne, she's vegan and loves theater. ;o) Thanks for her !
