Trudye is right, you should write a book! I'd be honored to provide the visuals. Trudye will be our producer, and haverfordgirl the press attaché! There will of course be a lot of travelling and research involved, and FUN! And since it's a BIG production, there will be jobs for every swan in LeSalon! What do think? Please say yes!!!

Brilliant thinking to get Jerrine as our writer on board. I am all for it!! The history of the church and architect is absolutely fascinating.... it would make a great movie or documentary.

The place just blew me away, and as you say, it couldn't have been more different from when we both saw it in 2009 (how fun to have been there in the same year as you, hasn't time just been flying since then?). The light inside is extremely lovely and soft, and works true wonders on the complexion ;-) xxMaiTaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256110739626579757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529262281526104323.post-81390348291023111012015-05-23T15:46:46.152+02:002015-05-23T15:46:46.152+02:00Count me in, dearest friends!!!

Re the braclet.. the Karla is lightweight, and weighs just a little bit more than the Kelly Dog (KD is 19 gramm, the Karla is 29 gr). The KD has a looser fit, the Karla's wrist circumference is 17cm.
