This week has been a long and tiring one for me, several things have happened that have made it less pleasant than most and I’ve been left feeling a little bit empty. Even this morning as I left for french class, I think I had a little cloud hanging above my head. After class I tried to go shopping, nothing really interested me and I felt indesicive about everything. I just bought some more rosewater toner to replace my empty bottle. The only thing I was really attracted to was a Honey scented body milk, I tried a little bit on my palm and it still smells divine, like meadows and sunlight and warm afternoons.

This afternoon I felt much better though! I bought a chocolate icecream on the way home and sat down to watch an episode of the japanese drama ‘Honey and Clover’ it is so sweet! I didn’t really feel much for the anime, but I’m so excited about this adaption. Hagu is my favourite character, I feel a bit of kinship with her. I also recieved a really lovely email from someone that lifted my spirits and added the cherry on top of my afternoon. Isn’t it great how little things can completely turn a day around? I feel so warm right now, enveloped in the scent of honey.

Petit Miel’s first release is coming together slowly. I had a problem with the jewelry thread I was using so I’m going to replace it. I think the first release will be small items mostly, but thats the way I want to run it. Small limited releases or one off items, I think they will be more special that way and I love designing new things, its more fun than making repeats! Petit Miel means ‘little honey’ I chose the name because honey is sweet, but more soft and natural than sugar. My inspiration is a mixture of luxury and natural simplicity, Marie Antoinette and her ladies in fine silk gowns and pearls enjoying a garden picnic with beautiful cakes and sweets and rose petals everywhere. That is my Rococo dream.
