the birth of Mille-feuilles

marabout millefeuilles.jpg
(cookbook of Matthieu Dumas, Mille et une feuilles - 1001 layers, just came out in january 2006, 30 recipes of French cream puff pastries Miillefeuilles, literarily meaning thousand sheets, a Hachette book in French)
♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ ♥♥♥
Chamomille sat, hungarily,with a sugary craving, in front of the boxes of the new sisters arrived for some time.. the kimono gals family has suddenly grown...

petite Coccinelle, this is your new big sister, Millefeuilles

MIllefeuilles looks sweet, sugary, "framboisery", "chocolatiery" and delicious... she is afterall a French dessert! Her yukata, notably the obi, ressembles the Mille-feuilles

oh she smells sweet...

Millefeuilles this is your birthday:)

Phedre was the first one who came, in yukata as a courtesy, to greet Millefeuilles.... a conspiracry is in the air.... that of devouring .... a delice

Yukata fever: besides Strawberry Millefeuilles and Ladybug in stock kimonos, Chamomille wears a blue sugarmag yukata of last year and kir's sunflower summer crocheted hat; Phedre wears a blue licca yukata in crane motif, kir's blues bloodymary hat

rencontre forestière

o j'ai envie d'un potage aux champignons... chquadri.gif
DSC_0002_champignons.jpg
The tradition of picking and eating wild mushrooms is prominent in most Slavic countries such as Russia, Poland, and the Czech Republic among others. Whole families often venture into the nearest forest after a strong rain during mushroom season, picking bucketfuls of mushrooms, which are cooked and eaten for dinner upon return or alternatively dried or marinated for later consumption.

Phèdre went for mushroom hunt
DSC_0011_champignons.jpg
and discovered at least 4 kinds of mushrooms in the grass
DSC_0014_champignons.jpg
in different neo and petite scales...

in this series, i filmed the 'dark' and sinister side of Phèdre, in the horizon of her charcoal grey eyes and black frilled and floral lolita attire, amidst the fungi, after a shower of rain... DSC_0004_champignons.jpg

o for the wings of a dove

In the rain, Petite Phèdre amazed at her discovery of three-leaf clovers reDSC001_060523.jpg
and sung some melody of Mendolssohn's "hear my prayer" ...
DSC0006_060523.jpg
like doves in the rainy sky... o for the wings of a dove, far away far away would i rove...
DSC0005_060523.jpg
in the wilderness build me, build me a nest
DSC0003_060523.jpg
and remain there for ever at rest
reDSC_002_060523.jpg
from her eyes of the petite world, watching the rain dropping on the vast lawn

revival of the riding hood I

the absence in the net last week was very much due to my riding hood, besides hectic work ( i have spent my daily 'blythe' available time for her 'transformation'...) and so i dedicated back the past week to the riding hood week, when she was undergoing all those ordeals (photos taken in the weekend of 13th).
She is called Phèdre (special thanks to B pa for the final salvation!!) I wanted her to remain originally looking and this discretely done. She is still lacking a pair of green eyes...
