{ new photoshooting & a promise }

 

I am currently working on some new items …wait a minute … I am actually always working on new products  for my etsy shop :) … This new embellished tee is named turquoise . I had lots of fun creating it.

As always I needed to take some pictures …I made plenty, as usual …In order to have a large range to choose in. One day I will write about “auto-photo shooting” … I am following a very special routine. you would be there , you would think I am sort of crazy …  I did have fun but nothing  compare to the hilarious session I had with my husband JP….
The first snapshots are …let’s see … regular … scroll down a little to see a few  less serious ones. I wanted them to look “crazier” … well, next time.

    
    

I said Jp I will post those snapshots …see chéri  …. I always keep my promises.

you better say YES !!!!!    :)



you can found my turquoise here.

{ funny story I absolutely needed to share }

Monsieur le Marquis, aka JP my sweet husband , kept asking me to make a male version of my aprons … As I assume men don’t fancy flowers and birds that much ;) I cogitate a lot to find something manly with still my personal touch …
I came up with this Festival de Cannes - inspired apron … Cannes movie festival is pretty much a big deal here … As you can see I added a PALME D’OR ( golden prize) design … I thought it will be great -along with a matching towel and a card- as a gift pack … for Father’s day, or as a frenchie “kiss the chef” version …or for many other occasions. You can find it here, in my shop.

Personally I’ll give one to mon chéri …Jp , in the category, best husband ever … I give YOU the palme d’or …♥♥


Now comes the funny part … It’s pretty obvious it wouldn’t be appropriate to photoshoot my new item with a postage-stamp-sized girl … So, I asked Jp if he would accept being my apron model … he says “yes” … in his very direct manner …I use plenty of words, he always go straight to the point … We decided to do the big photoshooting on monday right after his work… He came back as early as possible as he knows how susceptible I am about natural light …
He had an work obligation after so we had a very little time. He arrived, went straight to the dressing room as it was the most important thing on earth… Then looked at his clothes and spent quite a while wondering which pants would be the best … which tee …As a very organized women (yes, I am …) , I already have taken care of this and gave him a few selections I made …as I want him to be part of the process …
He finally decided and then rushed toward the bathroom to have his hair done , to brush his teeth and to make sure everything was ok (even if I said we won’t see his face on the pictures).

and then he said : “ “where is the hat ?” scrutinizing around…
I was getting everything reading, the background, the camera etc .. and was not very focused.

once again “ Sabine, where is the hat ?”
”which hat ? ” I answered . .. at this point I realized what he was talking about …
”the cowboy hat “..
I looked at him with a nascent smile on my face …
oups. no. he is serious. I kept my smile for myself…
”well, there it is ” I said. but actually it is a cow…girl hat. it even has a little old rose strap…see …you don’t mind ?”
him : “mmm … it’s made of leather and we can barely see it. I think that’s ok …”.

I can tell you it has been very hard for me not to laugh … I had no idea he has that in mind. as if apron shooting = cowboy hat for him .isn’t that funny … ?
And then he was so funny and cooperating … we ended up laughing a lot and sharing a wonderful moment … he is always so enthusiastic about what I do. It is a blessing … I really feel lucky … Now have a look and you will understand …


and my very favorite :

note to self : have to find a cowboy hat for monsieur le marquis who obviously dream to stole mine :) :)

Mon amour, merci so much …
