Vintage Fairy Tales

This is me, yeah I know they´re  great , lost in Paris!

Sam and I will leave now for a week in France.

We´re gonna attend 5- day creative workshop lead by the contemporary folk artist  JULIE ARKELL.

“I love to make things with materials that have ‘seen life’;  embroidering words and stories onto old cloth, stitching into books and paper, repairing, darning, making dolls, toys, jewellery and objects of eccentricity.  We will spend a couple of mornings during the workshop scouring the local brocantes and markets, and inspired by our finds we will combine the wonderful old fabrics, trinkets, braid, lace and threads with the items from your personal collections to make inspirational mementos.”(Julie Arkell)

From Paris we will go by the TGV to the town Angouléme and finally go by car to the beautiful

Briançon where the workshop is held.

So far so good. There is one thing that makes me worried though,

on the way back home to Sweden I have to travel alone…

That is a Mr Bean-catastrophe, I have absolutely NO SENSE OF LOCALITY.

I have made reservations for the first train in the morning from Angouléme to Paris, and the last

flight in the evening from Paris to Copenhagen. That gives me eight hours to find the

right train to the airport.

Do you think I can make it?
