My chestnuts, my kittens, my little butter hearts, my birds... 

Well I don't know how many times I've tried to write this post... Last month Make My Lemonade turned two...And I think you're well aware that my life has been a little "out of control" lately... But TWO YEARS!!!! Do you realize how fast time flies? Two years of an infernal whirlwind of love, hard work, incredible encounters, princess-like travels, crazy collaborations, uh a book too... And more to come soon!

Sometimes I think back to my life before the blog, and to the person I was (which I hope I still am... but there's no denying that I've changed), and even if all this is just a url address, a site in the immensity of the Internets, well, I'm delighted that you and I have found each other. Your words touch me so much, have made and are making me grow, have given me self-confidence, and above all make me want to go further, to be a better person and to develop greater creativity every day. When I have doubts, I look back for a few seconds and move forward, I no longer ask myself 100 questions, so just for that THANK YOU and for everything else THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...

So obviously for this site I have big ambitions, crazy desires, I feel like I say that every month, but I think I see the end of the tunnel with the arrival of an office in my life, a space for the "lemonade studio". The new blog design is coming soon, a super-fast, super-powerful Make My Lemonade with great goodies for you, a boutique with little things and all that... Gosh, I'm just in love!

And to top it all off, today, for Make My Lemonade's 2nd birthday, I'm teaming up with the brilliant e-shop l'Exception to invite you to a POLKA PARTY at Carmen, from 9pm, 34 rue Duperré, 75009 Paris, métro Pigalle, Wednesday 16th, next week in fact! Come as you are, polka dots or stripes... Register at! And we're going to spoil you too, because for the occasion we're organizing a big raffle, like a beautiful Tombola with around thirty gifts, jewelry ..: Alice Hubert, Yazbukey, Anne Thomas, Adeline Cacheuxand designer pieces such as Ambrym, When I was, By Zoénail polish sets Nailmaticmake-up course shu uemuracandles My jolie candlecandles Champagne Zarb bags Tammy & Benjaminbags, shoes and more! So many surprises! Thanks to Régis & Maeva and all their exceptional team for making it all possible!

 

 

 

 These two years have also given me the opportunity to meet some incredible people, Mai de being at the top of my list. superbytimaiFred from Cut by FredLili from ma récréationfor my bodyguard. But there's also Nardjisse from fashion words and Anne R., who is the kindest and gentlest of people, and with whom working is always a long, quiet river. And of course Charlotte S. Russo, who has become indispensable to this little company... And Tania Houlbert, who's also a top-notch director! And these aren't meetings, but I must tell them how important they are to Make My Lemonade (and me incidentally) my little mom, my systematic proofreader, Mariloulou my brilliant translator, Alexandra B and Justine B... because they know why... And for all the other bloggers I meet at the rare events I go to, even if I never linger, I'm always delighted to bump into you, chat and of course have a laugh. I'd like to thank Léo for his unfailing support and professionalism, even if sometimes I'm a bit of a slacker, which doesn't mean I love you any less... a thousand apologies for this oversight.
