For Kylie, a movie.



I had a short meeting with Kylie from 3 sheets
some time ago;
we were both quite nervous, so I helped Kylie
to finish her packet of mint cigarettes :-)
(sorry Kylie I bring your little secret into the open :)
So, we smoked and had cafe latte and talked about
our lives and work and getting older; we both
want to go on as long as we can.
So, I was telling Kylie about a spirited old lady,
who makes the braidings for the typical Chanel
suit, look here, her story starts at 2:40,
(she has a huge atelier above the stables!)

That lovely towel on my chair is a present from
Kylie, thanks again friend :-)





My new cupboard for the kitchen and pineapple
leaves.

  1. altijd een beetje spannend om iemand te ontmoeten die je enkel via beelden en tekst kent.

  5. I love your kitchen cupboard!
    it's lovely to meet new-old friends, is like when I met Fanja I felt like I knew her from such a long time!
    BUT mint sigarettes are disgusting girls!
