Even more so being bound to a dayjob at a desk. creating gives pleasure takes ones mind off of stressful technicalities in life. You need determination, conviction and focus in order to create....oh and the discipline to try over, and over and over again.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04049807280176674478noreply@blogger.comBlogger34125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349485896757071552.post-18092598822882754732014-05-01T20:41:00.000+02:002014-05-01T20:41:02.744+02:00Labor Day - Bank holiday - or really a laborious day.It is MAY 1st!<br />Labor day in Europe. A bank holiday. Usually a reliable 'good-weather-day' with BBQs and lots of calmness after you have 'danced-into-the-May' the night before.<br /><br />I love this day!<br />
<br />
This year I spent it very laborious.... I registered my own website, finalized its layout and added tons of content. It is not quite finished yet. Much more needs to be done, but here we go.... a little <b>SneakPeak.</b><br /><br />All comments and tips are very much welcome, so please:<b> Let me know what you think!</b><br />

There is always something to <b>upcycle</b><b>,</b> isn't there?! The tricky part is to make it look like a designer piece.<br />
a really cute way of bringing some <b>color</b> AND <b>pattern</b> into your home, aswell as some seasonal decor is cutting scrabs of carpeting into <b>identical</b><b> </b><b>pieces</b> and arrange them to your liking. You can get those rest and end pieces in all sorts of shops that sell carpets off big rolls. <br />
Now why identical? Cause you will have already different colors, patterns and densities of carpets and ours need something to connect all this visual info...some sort of structure that will make it harmonious.<br />
like in this example:</div>

As all of us full time, self employed creators always do I have been doubting if the way I publish and promote my new items is really the best, most efficient and (most of all) most fruitful strategy.<br />
<br />
Having worked as an employed designer for several years BUT now recently a full-time Etsy seller (and much more serious about this business) I have come to several conclusions. I would like to discuss these with this team and hopefully in the end create something like a "work group" of people who are interested to try something new.<br />
<br />
Due to the complexity of this topic I think I will start more then one thread, cause things might get quickly confusing.<br />
<br />
So I would like to start off with the way we PUBLISH our products/listings here on Etsy.<br />
<br />
>>> I started my shop off as a hobby, something to do whilst in between jobs. My shop developed "on the go", organic growth so to say. Whenever I came up with a new product I photographed and listed it. taking the "one item at a time" approach but learning about Etsy, description writing, pricing, and most of all photography at THE SAME time.<br />
<br />
Now that I am in my third Etsy year, clear about the decision and the following consequences of wanting to do this full time, clear(er) about how I want my brand and it's image to look like and how to accomplish this look I am starting to think about PROFESSIONALISM. And with this comes efficiency and that only goes with being organized.<br />
How do the "big players" organize their business? Well, the first thing that comes into my mind is that they all have their work time scheduled. And some strategic decision have to be made up front. Things need to done by a certain time and at the end of the deadline there is a BIG PRESENTATION.<br />
All major labels, brands, magazines have catalogs. the entire new collection is being presented in ONE great revealing.<br /><br />
So this clashes with my "one item at a time" strategy. And to be honest, I have been so far reluctant to try anything else, cause it has been said so often that we want to spread our listing times. You spread the cost as well and each day some more views from new listings looks sounder than playing the "all at once" card...cause what if you chose the wrong day or time?! Or both?! Or if you are, like me in Europe but your main customer load is in the US and Australia.<br />Well, maybe there is never the perfect time. Something else will be always more preferable then what you are already doing.<br />
<br />
As you might guess now, I am about to give it a try. I am preparing loads of nwe listings and saving them as drafts in order to reveal my new collection in one go. If that is all in one day, or maybe spread over two or three according to theme.... I don't know yet. I have still some uploading to do and this time to come to a decision.<br />
<br />
But I would like what you people think. How do you proceed and have you already tried different styles?<br />
i would really love some feedback and opinions.<br />
<br />
<br />
As soon as I get some more free minutes (in the next few days) I will start another thread about publishing in combination with promotion (which is such a time consuming issue for all of us) and how I think Etsys treasury system is a bit "outdated", how it could be improved and how we could help each other to be less dependent from external taste makers aka. become the new taste makers ourselves.<br />
>>>Pew, a lot of words in long sentences. Thank you for bearing with me and reading it all.<br /><br />X from france,<br />

I absolutely love the Christmas season, but every year in January I am glad I can start working on new projects. This year is no exception and I am pumped to work on more, non-ceramic products.<br />
<br />
Becoming a new mom, I worried all of 2013 about not spending enough time and energy on my<b><a href="http://www.laniquehome.etsy.com/" target="_blank"> little business</a></b>, even though I have been working every available minute. During babies nap.time, in the evenings and during his quiet play time and on weekends - life and worries in <b>self-employmen</b>t, hu?! But after having had a look on my final stats I am pleased to report that I still managed to land and fulfill 80% of orders whilst having only spent only about 30% of work time, compared to 2012.<br />
That means<b> my time management was real good </b>and I prioritized right.<br />
Being now half way through my second pregnancy I have now 20weeks left to make an even better <b>strategic plan for 2014</b>.<br />
It will not be easy to handle 2babies and keep my boutique going, but I am thrilled to be where I am. Although my days are long and still never seem to have enough hours, I can't imagine having to wake my boy early, go to an office where I wonder what and how he is doing and if I get to spend a bit of <b>quality time</b> with him at all in the evening.<br />
Instead I can take him into my bed at 6am and cuddle for a little while longer till it is time to face our oh so busy, but stress- and guilt-free days together.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: x-large;"><b style="background-color: white;">2014 bring it on - I am ready!</b></span></div>

This fall there is a new trend in interior decoration to dress your home in a little black something.<br />
There is a fine line between black looking elegant and imposing, depressing and/or gothic. Bright, light flood spaces are needed to create high contrast. And last but not least you need to be bold to paint a part of your home in black, because, although black always coming back into fashion it also means it it will be "out" for a while and in the meantime it has a hard time to mix with other colors.<br />

Having had an incredible hot summer I am ready for fall to arrive. With all it's foody goodness and bright warm colors - especially the golden hues.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Which brings me to the sunny golden items for elegant interiors of my own collection. ALL HANDMADE, NO MASS-PRODUCTION!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You don't need to have an Etsy or Dawanda account to buy from me, just leave me a message and you PayPal e-mail address (shown prices not including shipping).<br />
<br />
For more sneak-peeks have like of my facebook page where you can share and tag people if you want to give them a hint what tickles your taste buds (for anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas...)<br />

Having started my Etsy shop as an almost exclusive ceramic boutique, the question of color cohesion solved itself because my ceramics are all pure white with a hint of color here and there. Now that I am expanding my product range and experimenting with more materials and colors I look at my shop and have the feeling that color cohesion went out the window.<br />
<br />
Also, with my search and work on new products I went a bit overboard with new materials and colors.... which blew my budget. But the nice thing about being an interior designer is to be able to design for other people, cause my home is very much styled through and through.<br />
So it seems like I have two problems. But I think one is the solution to the other. Having a budget limit should help me get my cohesion problem solved. All it takes it a bit of discipline, right?! And disciplines best ally is organization.<br />
<br />
Time to get things organized. And with hectic Christmas sale season right around the corner I could do with some organization. And to be most efficient and professional I will go about it interior designer style.<br />
I often hear friends enthusiastically telling me what a great new 'thing' they found for their home, just to hear them a bit later moaning that their house looks messy, or not very 'trendy'. And oh what they would give to have one of those super styled through interiors you find so many of in magazines and <b><a href="http://pinterest.com/LaNiqueHOME" target="_blank">Pinterest</a></b>, etc.<br />
<br />
Now, the thing stylists do differently is: they are organized. You look at your space and chose a color palette. The most common way is to create a<b> mood board</b>.<br />

I will choose as an example this picture of the coconuts. The shown example is the easiest way to attribute colors.<br />

And looking at this interior with this sort of accessories, no one would actually think 'This reminds me of coconuts!', right?! but you could also go bold and chose the turquoise for the floor - see below!<br />

<br />
So far, so great. Now this is all fantastic for upgrading your interiors, but what does this have to do with your <b>Etsy/Meylah/Dawanda shop</b>, you might ask.<br />
Well, if we take our shop as virtual interiors we can apply the same principals. And since products and colors change with the seasons you might re-think your way of going about the <b>re-style</b> of <b>your shop</b>.<br />
<br />
Unless you are starting a brand new shop you will already have some "furniture", aka. other products and existing supplies in there and you might want to change gradually into new colors in order not to burst out of your budget limit.<br />
<br />
So here is what we do in interior design (a bit of color re-cap I am sure you already know, but let's bring it back to memory):<br />
Choose which items/colors/products you have most of or simply want to<b> keep</b> because they are your <b>best-sellers</b>, or have tons of stock or are simply favorite things.<br />
I have a bright pink color that is called 'juicy watermelon' which is great for spring and summer, but less ideal for fall and winter. In order to use it for other seasons it can easily be manipulated by just adding some white, black, or black+white (grey) and it will look as followed:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ycSHkBT97R0/UfkkD5fLtEI/AAAAAAAABOM/daGI-0EgkmQ/s1600/tint+tone+shade.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="205" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ycSHkBT97R0/UfkkD5fLtEI/AAAAAAAABOM/daGI-0EgkmQ/s320/tint+tone+shade.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">LaNiqueHOME: how to find your new colors on low budget.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
If you just take a sheet of white paper and quickly do this with all your colors you'll get a nice chart of all the tints, tones and shades available to you and you quickly multiply your palette by three - talking about saving some money on new paints!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OgWmm4lEwxY/UflBmAb5DOI/AAAAAAAABQs/gANpiD9QTRo/s1600/20130730_152124.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OgWmm4lEwxY/UflBmAb5DOI/AAAAAAAABQs/gANpiD9QTRo/s1600/20130730_152124.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The top left is the 'juicy watermelon' that looks a lot pinker then the tomato red below. Yet the tints and tones look alike. Only the shades look really different. Good to know.<br />
The 'antique rose' to the right gives a beautiful off-white as tint and gorgeous warm greys as tone ans shade. I feel like I should repaint a room in one of those colors.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_pC3au_eocg/UflBmBcxxiI/AAAAAAAABQw/LOdlZ_Wlwpw/s1600/20130730_152143.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_pC3au_eocg/UflBmBcxxiI/AAAAAAAABQw/LOdlZ_Wlwpw/s1600/20130730_152143.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here a little sheet that I made quickly to see how my colors could look like. As you see the yellow is only nice as original color (big on the left) and as a lighter version tint (top small one). The Bermuda blue gives some nice variations as tint, shade and tone.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
And if you don't work with paints but lets say fabrics or beads this is still helpful cause it shows you which colors of new supplies you need to buy in order to use the existing efficiently up.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Once I chose my new color combinations I want to work with (see picture of my pinboard below) I keep pieces of colored confetti in my wallet, so when I am out and about and see a paint, ribbon, beads etc. I think might fit my scheme I can verify if it fits.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rneS8EYUUcY/UeKylJVCykI/AAAAAAAABNk/EkVt-FHJtXI/s1600/LaNiqueHOME+work+space3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="246" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rneS8EYUUcY/UeKylJVCykI/AAAAAAAABNk/EkVt-FHJtXI/s320/LaNiqueHOME+work+space3.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">my current Summer color scheme will need re-working soon</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
And I also always keep the 'wrong colors' with me as well, because in different environments, changing light situations etc. you can easily grab the wrong tone and then, I at least, get annoyed I spend money I could have saved. Particularly tricky are colors like mint, that looks like aqua in yellow light, or you think you got a nice orange-y shade of peach just to notice at home its more salmon and your partner folds his hands upon his head cause which man likes 'salmon', or pink as they like to call it... lol.<br />

WOOHOO!!!!<br />
The interview was the classic Etsy 'behind the scenes' questionnaire with the side note that they would love to have some pictures of me and my work space, if possible.<br />
<br />
Pictures?<br />
Yeah, sure!<br />
.....no wait!<br />
<br />
When I thought of that I instantly remembered the work space pics I usually see on Etsy, or on Pinterest. And I started a bit to panic, cause my work space looks nothing like them - see below:<br />

YUCK!!!! <b>Disgustingly perfect!</b><br />
I mean "COME ON!" Where do you work in this space? It is all way too neat and tidy. Even those that have some full loaded ares, like a mood board, it is the neatest mess I have ever seen. I don't really believe that those are work spaces - those are showrooms projecting a <b>work space utopia</b>.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong, surely some people can keep it together like this on a daily basis but they must be graphic designers, or similar. Having a work that takes really only place on the desktop of their computers.<br />
<br />
Producing physical items like my ceramics, or paintings or clothing is a messy business no matter if you produce made-to-order or pre-produce in batches. And so I tried to find more realistic examples:<br />
<br />

<br />
That looks much more like it, doesn't it?! I have these examples on my <a href="http://pinterest.com/LaNiqueHOME/work-space/" target="_blank">pinterest board</a>, but soon there will be more - promise.<br />
<br />
So here I was, annoyed that I was facing the dilemma between not sending in any photos and have a smaller chance of being interesting enough to be published by EtsyFR or having to have a big clean-up on short notice and show off my work space when there is actually no work in progress. I did the latter and here the results:<br />

Oh, and it wouldn't be the melon diaries if I didn't give you an update, right?!<br />
So sadly Melon No2 seems to be dying....; but No1 is doing fine, considering it is growing out of a flower pot.<br />

Definitely a cold country.<br />
But here I am in France - the SOUTH of France. 28°C (~90°F) at 8am in the summer months.<br />
When you come here on vacation it is probably in some place with a pool or at the seaside.... perfect hot weather almost guaranteed. You will invite the warmth and sun in and you probably think my home looks a bit like this:<br />

Yeah, well.... It does look like this more or less 9months out of 12. But right now, when it is that hot and you are not on vacation but have to work....<br />
The windows, doors AND shutters stay closed - keep the heat out!!!! All day until at least 8pm. At night we open everything to cool the apartment down.<br />
So right now it feels a bit like living in a cave.<br />
<br />
Next year we might try to swap flats for the summer... find some nice Swedish family that would like to come here and in return we get to stay at their house for a few weeks....oh, I could daydream about that all day!<br />

Unfortunately, I am a bit a lost case when it comes to tending to plants. So I know I would need some serious help. So that is the reason I am so excited about the latest development on my balcony. A melon plant appeared and I have now TWO <b>watermelons</b> growing. This plant must have come from the small compost I cultivated last year and used on my plants this year. If they make it to an eatable stage, I'd be so thrilled.<br />

Now, under the link you will find the original recipe that is in fact real good but it is VERY mighty.<br />
For all sugar conscious people (like me) try this:<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b><br />
4 tablespoons self-rising flour <span style="color: red;">[4tbs normal flour + 0.5teapoon baking powder for all who don't have self-rising flour]</span><br />
<strike>4 tablespoons</strike> <span style="color: red;"><b>1 teaspoon</b></span> sugar<br />
1 egg<br />
3 tablespoons cocoa powder<br />
<strike>3 tablespoons</strike> <span style="color: red;"><b>1tablespoon</b></span> Nutella (remember Nutella has already tons of sugar and even more oil)<br />
3 tablespoons milk<br />
<strike>3 tablespoons</strike> <span style="color: red;"><b>2tablespoons</b></span> vegetable oil<br />
<b>Whipped Cream Topping</b> (if desired)<br />
½ cup heavy cream<br />
1 tablespoon sugar<br />
<b>Directions</b><br />
Combine all ingredients in a large coffee mug. Whisk well with a fork
until smooth. <span style="color: red;"><b>Split onto <u>2cups</u> cause with the baking powder it will rise, rise RISE!!!!</b></span><br />
Microwave on high for 1½– 3 minutes. (Time depends on
microwave; mine took 2 minutes.)<br />
Add heavy cream to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk
attachment and whip on medium-high speed until almost stiff. Add sugar
and beat until heavy cream forms stiff peaks. Top Mug Cakes with whipped
cream and a little chocolate sauce, if desired.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">ENJOY!!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Jetzt habe ich auf <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/laniquehome" target="_blank"><b>Pinterest</b></a> ein Rezept fuer <i>Tassenkuchen</i> gefunden<span style="font-size: small;">.

Aber ich moechte fuer alle Zuckerbewussten <span style="font-size: small;">eine leichtere Variante bieten die nicht minder l<span style="font-size: small;">ecker ist:</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> <br />
4 El Mehl<br />

2 El Kakao ungesuesst (optionell) <br />

3 El Milch <br />
<strike>3 El</strike> <span style="color: red;"><b>2 El</b></span> Sonnenblumen-/Nussoel <br />
<br />
Alles gut vermischen und dann auf ZWEI Becher verteilen, denn mit dem Backpulver waechst es ganz schoen an UND "geteilye Freud ist ja bekanntlich doppelte Freude" ;)<br />

Naturally we all like to find a good deal so I guess you will just have set the criteria to define what 'a good deal' means to you.<br />
I have a concrete example right here:<br />Expecting a baby I needed a whole lot of things I never thought of before. And also things that you already got, but that, well, an adjusted version would come handy. A diaper bag!<br />
Yes, yes, basically I could use just any big messenger bag, but with all the little things it will contain and having a little human to care about.... I want to be organised and I don't want to have to search for things.<br />
So I went off to some stores and looked around. 60-100€ for a branded bag. A well made bag, but a bag made in China, India, Vietnam.... by someone who have worked hard, under conditions I don't know nothing about and who will probably not have gotten even 1/10 of that price as a salary.<br />
So I went online and had a look on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a>. There is tons of people who offer diaper bags and I hit the 'like' button on all the designs I liked.<br />
In a second round I went back to my favourits to compare all those bags....aesthetically and of cause based on the price. I noticed that I had marked bags at the price range from $25-$150. Now it was time to compare: "What do I get for that money?!" followed by: "What do I actually need?!"<br />
And by the time I had all that figured out I had ~4bags left. So I again ranked them by looks and price and then decided that I want a cotton bag and not something made of laminated material.<br />
3bags left.<br />
I liked them all, so of cause, I went by price.....I want the best deal!<br />
But there is one more thing you have to consider the price.... just like with the branded bags: Where does the bag come from?<br />
I can understand that someone living in Poland, or Romania can produce the bag slightly cheaper than someone in the USA, France, or Germany. Materials are much likely cheaper and their price has to cover their standard of living, not mine. So knowing for a fact that living is cheaper in e.g. Poland I will not spend 100€ for a Polish bag if I can have a similar one for 75€ made in France. It simply does not feel like I made 'a good deal'. If 75€ is enough for a French bag is a different question and everyone will have to decide for themselves.<br />
So to cut a long story short:<br />
I bought a cotton bag made in USA. It has all the features that where important to me. I could chose the pattern/materials used, so it is customized according to what I like. I paid $96 and I think I made a very good deal cause I figured if I a good bag does cost ~80-90€ from a branded company that can produce for much cheaper, why should I pay less for one of identical quality that has been handmade by someone who has a similar standard of living than me? She offers a competitive price and I understand that this price can't be in the lower section of ~60€ cause the material is really nice heavy cotton and the making takes time...even it you are skilled in sewing and do it a lot faster than me. On the contrary! At a price of 60€ I would wonder about how she did it. Is it really cotton? Did she really do it herself? Maybe there a cheaply pre-fabricated elements?<br />
<br />
Well, let me tell you: This bag is REALLY nice. It arrived today and I am very happy with the quality. Nice and sturdy, with all the compartments we will need. Washable and just my style! Not too faminine (the man would not what to be seen carrying a womans bag) neither too clichée 'baby bag', or too clichée 'It's a (baby) boy!'<br />
So thank you <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/fromnancy" target="_blank">Nancy</a>! I will recommend your shop and service :D<br />

No offence to French men, but the ladies do attract attention. First and foremost all say "They are all so chic!" Elegance is definitively a cliché in the sense that it can be seen all over in the streets. But what is elegance?<br />
So what do you picture if I would describe a friend of mine as 'typically French girl'???<br />
French women are for me comfortable in their femininity without overdoing it. I found some pictures that hit all the spot... which one do you like most?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q_s-xXYFF4I/UO1Ki8de--I/AAAAAAAAA7U/uzlxtlA9JeQ/s400/femmes.JPG" width="362" /></div>
<br />
1) Urban princess. Tender colors, playful girly but not too much.<br />
2) Miss France. OK the hat is maybe a bit too much cliché-ridden, but the rest of the outfit/Make-up is soooo French as well. Simple but accentuated and really not girly.<br />
3) Country beauty. Again soft pale colors, not much make-up but richness in style and romanticism.<br />
4) Femme fatale. I don't think any words are needed here...even the term is French and known all over the world in all the different languages.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04049807280176674478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349485896757071552.post-27060427646132227452013-01-03T14:29:00.000+01:002013-01-03T14:29:40.997+01:00Let's talk about clichés.When I hear someone use the word <i>cliché </i>the notion I get is usually a negative one. Or at least one of disappointment: "Oh this is soooo cliché!" And YES, a cliché is something that has been seen/heard/talked about over and over again in a certain context.<br />
But I personally love clichés. They reflect a tiny part of an undeniable truth. You just don't have to take them too literal and with a bit of wink.<br />
<br />
So in all my past shared flats I heard the phrase: "Oh you can be sooo German sometimes!" quite often. That was usually the case when we had big flat parties or dinners and I insisted on cleaning up (at least the nastiest bits) before going to bed. Since I don't like waking up and having to clean up after other people, I am always trying to make sure nobody has to clean up after me. So in this situation the cliché for my former flat mates was that Germans are tidy, neat (which I am really not when it comes to my own things) and have to do so in a timely fashion. I take that as a rather positive cliché. The other side of the medal however is that tidy, neat and time concerned people are not considered very laid back, but rather un-relaxed. I am sure the sentence "Oh you can be sooo German sometimes!" would have sounded a lot less reproachful if I had simply left everything that night and cleaned up the next day. But <i>hey!</i> nobody is perfect, right?!<br />
<br />
But let's talk about the good kind of clichés. I find them amusing. They help to categorize and deal with certain circumstances that can be otherwise quite frustrating. Living in France I find myself very often in situations that make me feel uneasy. When I ask my boyfriend why cetain things are handled the way they are and he has no satisfying answer he says: "Well, that's just the way it is done in France!" So I put it aside. It is a (general) French thing. I can't change all of France and all the French. I got to live with it.<br />
<br />
And then there is those beautiful French things. The ones that make you laugh, like the old guy on his bike wearing a stripped shirt and two baguettes under the arm as soon as you cross the French boarder.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/jody-brettkelly/do-all-french-men-carry-b_b_1684432.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5BEpQ-IG2w0/UOWCIZiI7ZI/AAAAAAAAA6U/I3WLojD9xQw/s1600/2012-07-18-FrenchGuyBaguette.jpeg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Or wonderful croissants and maccarons in every French bakery you pass...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But what about design, lifestyle and architecture? When thinking of France my first answers would be:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Design - Stark</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
lifestyle - chic French women (a lot more than French men)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
architecture - Paris vs. the Mediterranean (Provence, Côte d'Azure, Alpes Maritimes...)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All of them I would label as extraordinary chic but <u>never</u> over the top. This means that I love the richness of details in one aspect of all things French, but then at the same time an understatement in another.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Like this cake: WOW....spectacular details, but very tuned down in color... so really not that flashy. Brilliant!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And to show you what I mean, I started compiling a <a href="http://pinterest.com/LaNiqueHOME/french-cliche/" target="_blank">Pinterest board</a> on what I think is FRENCH CLICHÉ ... all those beautiful things that I associate with France and French lifestyle. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
