le vent nous portera - Noir Désir

Etsy is down for the moment, finally time to make a new playlist.
And as it was my birtday yesterday, here are the beautiful lyrics of one of my all time favs!
(I am still looking for a translation in English)
Dutch translation here.

'le vent nous portera' by 'Noir Désir'

Je n'ai pas peur de la route
Faudrait voir,
faut qu'on y goûte
Des méandres au creux des reins

Et tout ira bien là
Le vent nous portera

Ton message à la Grande Ourse
Et la trajectoire de la course
Un instantané de velours
Même s'il ne sert à rien va
Le vent l'emportera

Tout disparaîtra mais
Le vent nous portera

La caresse et la mitraille
Et cette plaie qui nous tiraille
Le palais des autres jours
D'hier et demain
Le vent les portera

Génetique en bandouillère
Des chromosomes dans l'atmosphère
Des taxis pour les galaxies
Et mon tapis volant dis ?
Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra mais
Le vent nous portera

Ce parfum de nos années mortes
Ce qui peut frapper à ta porte
Infinité de destins
On en pose un et qu'est-ce qu'on en retient?
Le vent l'emportera

Pendant que la marée monte
Et que chacun refait ses comptes

J'emmène au creux de mon ombre
Des poussières de toi
Le vent les portera
Tout disparaîtra mais
Le vent nous portera
lyrics: Bertrant Cantat
Manu Chao on guitar...

Frontpage on my birthday!

My creative workspace

Lots of projects today.
Still have a sick little kid at home, but I finally could get a babysit to take care of her,
now there is some time to finish the piles work of the last few days.
(Ah well, laundry and cleaning is for the weekend,...)
first the creative part!
my new cards arrived, doesn't they look wonderfull....

arranged the new embellishments for my packagings ... and stamped cards...

Need to make new necklaces out of these sorted beads...


For a project in September I decided to let me inspire by fairy tales,
I started a little 'alice inWonderland' collection, and enjoed coloring the cabochons with shades of verdigris, olive and turquoise....

OMG!! where to begin????
(want to see more creative spaces of others artists have a peep at kootoyoos blog)

Collection Cabinet

necklace 'jolie Fleur' click on the picture to go to my shop

A while ago I went to an outlet sale of vintage findings..... everything was so tempting... I know, I spend too much money on these beautiful treasures I took home with me, not knowing what to do with it yet, but I am sure to use in my future creations. (I used the velvet flower in the necklace 'jolie fleur' on top of this blogpost)

Beautiful vintage buttons in horn,mother of pearl, lucite, african glass beads, some gorgeous olive velvet ribbon and lipstick red trim, a bunch of vintage sacks with an original turquoise pattern...
(read more about vintage buttons on this very informative blog)


and a new black room-mate (I already had a white one), isn't she cute (and a pretty figure :-))
