My Day Off



Normal people on their days off go to the beach, pack a picnic, lie around in the park,head to the countryside or do a spot of shopping. On my days off, I do what I do every other day of my life. I take photos. I know you are thinking 'pyscho behaviour'. I just can't get enough of it! There is always another photo to take.
My gorgeous friend Cristina has been living in a psychedelic paper and paint patterned apartment in Paris that David Lynch and the Cohen brothers couldn't dream up, even if they joined forces. This place is 'No apartment for young women'!! A woman called Maude or Shirley definately decorated it after popping a couple of heavy sedatives and the results are mind blowing. We love it, every room has a theme, as in theme park. Here are some of our out takes when the temperature got the best of us. Have a great weekend. Carla x

Just beautiful. I love the couch, as strange as that may sound. There's always room for a touch of healthy madness, right? :)

The apartment sounds great except my mind would probably blow totally out! it is wonderful to see your goofing around shots, Carla! Enjoy your weekend. It is lovely and chilly in Sydney. I wish it would get colder! xx

You have a beautiful picture of some french hand towels - the Joliet/Rose/Vervienne dancing flower ladies on the French Essence Blog. Do you have information on these. I would love to know where I could purchase some?
