The bank won't stick with my new house.
I don't know what I'm going to do with it.

", the franchise of the combination of "fresh flowers, candles, table linen, crockery and cutlery" installed in the apartment on Génova Street where friends come to their call. "I have never made two identical tables.
I always leave them made the night before". Afternoon falls, the wax burns, dinner is ready. "It usually happens that nobody wants to leave home.
I love that they are comfortable.

I don't like food.
I hate the day."
