Hello everyone,here comes a little flowery post in white. For this flower composition I made for my friend Jodi, who invited me for New Year's Eve, I mixed hyacinth, buttercups and Christmas roses. I hope you will enjoy them, and I hope that Jodi will forgive me for taking some pictures of the flowers, before bringing them to her place. Have a nice day and don't forget to buy some flowers this week! Speak to you soon xxx Elodie
Dear readers,
I hope you had a nice Sunday. It's all christmassy around us - but today, I want to bring a little sun into the middle of the winter with the beautiful mimosa I found in a flower shop yesterday. I combined them with some beautiful dark blue anemones. The colour combination is my mum's favorite and I also love it.
Mimosa is a neon yellow flower that you find at this time of the year in the south of France and reminds me of the wonderful time I had living in Aix-en-Provence. Apart from being so beautiful and delicate, this is a very scented flower. It is a shame I can't do a scented post yet. I decided to do a musical post instead with a song from the French singer Barbara, talking about the death of her mum and wishing that she rests in peace in heaven with the scent of a mimosa flower.
I wish a nice penultimate week of 2012! xxx Elodie
Que vos étés se fleurissent Dans votre pays, là-bas Aux senteurs odorantes D'une fleur de mimosa, Que votre hiver se réchauffe Au coin d'une cheminée, Que les saisons vous soient douces. Vous avez tant mérité.

Hello everyone,
I just finished reading a very interesting book about still life photography. I will talk soon in details about this book and its author who agreed today to do an interview with me for the blog. I am so excited!
Today, I would like to show you the first results of what I have learned in this book. I first decided to try with flower photography, with some still life elements in the picture.
I am so looking forward to your feedback!
Have a nice week-end!

I haven't much time for the blog lately, but I can promise, there is a lot in preparation. In the meantime, I wanted to share these simple flowers with you.I hope you had a lovely lovely week-end!
I was very inspired on Thursday on my way back home and came back with a bunch of very different flowers in the pink-purple colour palette with a touch of black. I decided to make not one but 5 bouquets out of it from Extra-Small to Extra-Large. 1- The XS-Bouquet
2- The S-Bouquet In a beautiful white Moroccan vase I brought back from my trip to Antwerp.
3- The M-Bouquet
4- The L-Bouquet
Simple and monochrome
5- The XL-Bouquet
Tall and elegant in my favorite Japanese vase
So I am curious to hear about your opinion now. Which size do you prefer? Which bouquet is your favorite? Talk to you soon. xxx

In autumn, I like to do bunches of berries. The last longer than flowers and look beautiful with a little bit of sunshine.
Did I already mention, that I live in paradise? And what do you have in paradise?
I have all of that in my street, but some of the flowers are metallic and last all year long and the biggest animal in the street is a dinosaur called "Spekulantenfresser" - which means that he is there to protect a building and its inhabitants from the evil property investors, and is ready to devour them.
I had a beautiful week end. I rented a wide angle lens for my camera, and took a lot of pictures of the flat during the week end. I am excited to show them to you soon on the blog. I wish you a wonderful week. Speak to you soon.
Dear friends and readers, I wanted to share a song with you from this new band, we discovered lately with Mr. Love. This Australian singing duo is called "The Jane Austen argument" and the song is called under the rainbow: [soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/20678398" iframe="true" /]
So I suggest, you listen to this beautiful song while having a look at my new flower composition. I wish you all a great week-end!
PS: the lovely little vase with the stars is not vintage, it is from the lovely Danish label Miss étoile .
So - now I am back from my short stay in France. I stayed in Lyon and visited some dear friends and my cousin and spent the weekend in the Auvergne for the wedding of my oldest friend. It was really nice!The first thing I did when I came back was buying flowers. You know me! I think that a flat always looks a bit sad when you come back from a holiday and flowers are the best antidote against sadness! I used the pretty vases I bought in the lovely Lieblingszimmer shop and decorated one of them with some washi tape. I am usually not a big fan of carnations but I really got inspired by the intensity of their colours and I used the wonderful French fabric from Petit Pan as a backdrop for my pictures.
I know we are only at the very beginning of September, but it is really starting to feel like autumn outside - I don't know about you, but I love this season!And what can better illustrate the change of season than a bunch of orange dahlia? So here are some beautiful orange dahlia for you. I wish you all a beautiful week!
