DeleteThank you Dear Mai Tai and have a wonderful ski holiday with your family.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much again for inspiring this post, dear Jeannalola!
DeleteDear Mai Tai,
ReplyDeleteI wrote a comment on a old pic, I was wondering if you live in Paris near a big Hermes Store, and also, it's true that your French is so perfect as well as your taste so refined for all that I am curious to knwow where from where you are,
Happy Hollidays and looking forward to seeing again your beautiful pictures etc.
Sorry I saw your comment so late, dear Monica. I live in the South of France :-)
DeleteMai Tai maintenant que je sais que vivez en Provence, je voulais vous dire qu'à Genève, je viens de recevoir une invitation de Hermes pour une découvrir les mille et une façon de nouer un carré par une certaine Valérie Evrard-Langlois. Je pense que vous êtes aussi calée qu'elle et pourquoi ne pas en faire votre métier finalement.
ReplyDeletePeut-être que vous la connaissez ? Amicalement
Bonjour à Genève! Je vous souhaite un excellent journée avec Mme Evrard-Langlois. Il y a quelques semaines on a eu la même événement dans la boutique H de plus proche de chez moi, et j'ai appris un meilleure façon de faire le 'shrug'!
