End of the Week.. x
It’s been a pretty mad, bad week from the lows of a long dentist appointment (oh the joys of a periodontal clean due to impacted wisdom teeth..6 injections later..) various meetings and visits to the vet with a very stressed dog..to a fabulous Book Club night (the above is my reminder for the next one..)
And a wonderful day out at the Spirit of Summer with lovely mate Galliana. I will confess: we did initially think we’d got the wrong venue..and date..
My Wardrobe.com had a stand and I succumbed to this little number from new label Christophe Sauvat..it was the boho vibe and the pop of neon that sold it..(and the fact is was the last one left..)
Christophe Sauvat is one of those fascinating characters..He started in the 80’s designing clocks and watches..
Then moved to Brazil where he made and exported thread bracelets, selling over 8 million.
Before co-founding Antik Batik in Paris.
Now he’s in Portugal where he’s started his own label based on his love for the gypsy-style woman who still feels at home whether in London, Morocco or New York.
It has my heart.
The day/week ended with a Mum’s Night Out to ‘Supper in a Pear Tree’..a pop-up restaurant with a difference…Run by two sisters, Annabel and Charlotte Partridge the evening starts with a glass of wine and a Drawing Class around a nude model with supervision from Charlotte. We had NO idea it was going to be a rather fetching male model..there was much tittering and flexing of charcoal from behind our easels…
The evening finished with a three course supper cooked by Annabel..including foraged herbs and homemade sloe gin…
An event to remember…

Apart from that awful looking lady in the blue dress, I love it! And you are going to love Beautiful Ruin! Xx
How CAN you say that Galliana? Oooh – I love a good read! xxxxx
Those dresses and accessories are so beautiful! Your drawing is excellent. I love that idea for a pop-up with a difference ;0)
It was a brilliant night – I love things that are unexpected. I haven’t done still lifes since I was at school…really made me want to start drawing again.. xxx
Cool, keep it up! When events just totally exceed your expectations – doesn’t happen to often.
What a week! It sounds like the good ended up outweighing the bad–so glad! How come when I took a figure modeling class all we had were anemic-looking potheads, who were just trying to earn enough to buy their next joint?
I think we were rather spoilt! xxx
Your post is so honest and I love it. So glad the week ended on such good notes and that dress was a great purchase! Sigh…I wish we could have coffee cocktails and lunch an chit chat about all things lol. Much love from the south 🙂
Coffee cocktails? I’m your gal! xxx
Love this!!
I’ve nominated you for the Liebster Award. Come to my blog to read more about it! 🙂
Keep Writing as I am enjoying your blog!!

Thank you Aza – that is wonderful and most appreciated xxxxxxxxx
That is using the time! What a week. I love the idea of dinner with a drawing lesson.
We nearly all got lost finding the place..but it was a wonderful, light hearted, pure fun evening..I want to do it again! xxx
What a week…..what a woman!
Hehe..my teeth have only just recovered!! xxxxxx
I used to love Antik Batik. Nice to hear the name mentioned again. You can wear your new dress as you drawl seductively, “Wanna come up and see my (sk)etchings?” 🙂
It is a particularly fine wafting dress..I can feel more artistic turns coming on just by seeing it hanging in the wardrobe! xxxxx

Love the pale blue dress! Where can i get it? 🙂
Sounds like a fab day out. Foraged herbs! They’re definitely a thing now, aren’t they?
