i love this vintage postage stamp from belgium (via grain edit). it bares a striking resemblance to peter arkle’s, work – specifically his designs for bumble and bumble model project.

elana nazzaro’s illustrations are delightful. not only is her website, french toast girl filled with wonderful imagery and charming entries, the meaning of the name is insightful. life, like french toast, is comprised of simple ingredients, when combined make up a marvelous concoction we often take for granted. she’s right, we need to lap up the sweetness of life. with this thought in mind, i start my weekend.

this pretty much encapsulates my knowledge of the french language…as of now. next month, i begin french lessons at french institute allliance française. i am excited to learn and a bit intimidated by this beautiful language. when i inquired about classes, i had a difficult time understanding the man who took my call. he was speaking english. wish me “chance.”
founded at the turn of 20th century, the french institute and the alliance française de new york operated as two separate organizations, the first promoting french arts, the second teaching french. in 1971 they merged to form what has become one of the largest and most respected centers of french-american activities in the u.s: the french institute alliance française.
