Thanks to Cat ( Sewing the 60s ) for this liebster award !
The rules :
- tell 11 things about you
- answer to the 11 questions of your nominator
- nominate 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award and who have a less than 200 followers
- create a new list of 11 questions for the blogger to answer .
So first , 11 things about me :
1. Almost all stuff at my home comes from yard sales ... , my kitchen and my living room are 50s style , the dining room and the bedroom are 60s ... but i hate the fake today's 60's style ( and it's not snobbery ) .
2. When i was young , i wanted to get married to a baker so i could eat chocolate croissant whenever i want.
3. I like Lefort Openo , two french graphic designers who started in the 50s .( http://www.lefor-openo.com/ )
4. I couldn't live without music : Soul ( the exciters : movin too slow ) , Glam Rock ( Iron virgin : rebels rule) , Punk Rock ( Vibrators : whips and furs , ) , Power Pop ( the chords : maybe tomorow) ...
and of course 60's sound :
For Cat who asked this question and who is more into 60s music , this is my top 6 for 60s :
- The Eyes : I'm Rowed Out
- The Remains : Don't look back
- The Unrelated Segments : It's Gonna Rain
- The Yardbirds : Evil Hearted You
- The Brogues : I Ain't No Miracle Worker
- The Seeds : Can't seem to make you mine
5. I love sun-dried tomatoes and basil ,I love korean movie, i like to take a big breakfast and then to go back to bed , windows open and with birds singing . .. very snow white spirit ;) . I change often my hair color , for the moment i 'm a light golden copper blond .
Ok , Ok , i cheat : 8 things about me in 1 !!! Sorry , I wouldn't do it again .
6. My favorite great fashion designers are Louis Feraud and Jean patou .
7. I would really like to draw well but i didn't make any progress since ... my first year of primary school.
8. I have played bass for around 15 years but stopped during both my pregnancies so not much progress there! .
9. I used extensions of formica table to pin my brooches .
10. The first craftwork (sew / knit) i remember that i've done is a canary yellow knitted tie i made for my dad ... kids are cruel !
11. Worms terrify me ( F.T.W (FUCK THE WORM) is a private joke between a friend and I )
11b. I 'm a giuda fan (http://giuda.net/)
I had corrected my text by Vanessa to check the spelling and grammar ... so thanks again Vanessa

Now , answer to Cat's questions :

7. What is your favourite moment in history? i.e VE Day etc...

Romantisme du velours noir éclairé de broderie anglaise
Robe en velours. Le volant qui compose le jabot ponctué de boutons est en broderie anglaise comme le col rabattu et les revers des manches. Des pinces obliques galbent le devant coupé d’une découpe de taille et d’une couture. Le dos est fixé par une fermeture à glissière.
