still killing it…
At 81, Carmen Dell’Orefice is still killing it. Born in New York in 1931, she is known within the fashion industry as the oldest working model. She is also famously known for being a muse to Salvador Dali and Irving Penn.
Her last appearance, only yesterday, was on the catwalks of New York Fashion Week.
Give the woman a medal!!

gypsy love…
Firstly this post is dedicated to my lovely friend Julieanne Saint-Laurence, as it was only today that we were discussing and feeling mighty proud of our ‘gyspy’ heritage.
Tonight I have been lead on a wild gypsy chase! It all started with the first image below. If you look top left you will see a beautiful painting of a girl with a braid.. got it.. well.. I have been searching on and off well not really searching but curious to know more about this painting for many years as I have a copy. Seeing it in this image got me excited as I haven’t seen it anywhere else before, so I investigated further.
I asked my clever art savvy friend David Jaskiewicz to shed some light and as quick as a wink he said it was by the famous French impressionist artist ‘Marcel Dreyfus’ ‘dyf’ for short, born in Paris in 1899-1985. I have since found out that this painting is titled ‘Gyspy Girl’ and she is one of a pair ‘Gypsy Boy’ which I also have.
I have loved these paintings from the moment my mother brought them home from an antique shop in Midland. I was lucky enough to end up with them and am now planning a picture wall similar to this in my lounge room.
Oh and I’m getting them appraised as they don’t appear to be prints, they have brush strokes and are backed directly onto canvas! CAN YOU IMAGINE! I’M DREAMING! insert -i know nothing about art-here !! trying to avoid any art connoisseur embarrassment in advance!

Here’s a little Gyspy Dyf LOVE!

new obsession…
A couple of months a go, before my mother moved away, she handed down this amazing glass pyramid to me. I looked at it for months wondering what I was going to do with it. Ideas: Crystal Collection, Strawberries, Shells? After a little web surfing, I discovered ‘TERRARIUMS’!! and now as the title suggests am obsessed! I found an easy step by step guide on how to create one, got ridiculously excited and headed to the hardware store with Evie in tow. We stayed up way past our bedtime, putting the magical thing together with the light of the full moon.
The last image is the one I created with Evangeline! We’re pretty happy with it!
