Folies créatrices / creative madness

Meilleurs voeux pour la nouvelle année! Plein de bonnes surprises et surtout, surtout, une santé de fer!

Après pas mal de périples et autres détours, IJKreation a (enfin!) posé ses valises (et milliers de boîtes et cartons)...à Avignon et vient de joindre la toute jeune association de créateurs "En Folie".

Ah! La joie de voir ce soleil, le bonheur de sentir ses joues glacées par le Mistral, le plaisir de retrouver ces légumes du marché! Légumes que vous pourrez trouver également suspendus dans la vitrine de La Courgette en Folie. Ce point de vente de fruits et légumes régionaux et bio se transforme chaque samedi en lieu d'expo-vente de créateurs régionaux eux aussi (et bio?). Au frais, salades et autres radis! Place aux bijoux, sacs, vêtements, photographies et autres créations, le tout 100% fait-main.

Venez donc, panier au bras, ce samedi (29 janvier) faire votre marché créateur à La Courgette En Folie, 23 rue St Michel à Avignon (près de la Place des Corps Saints), de 10h à 19h.


Happy new year! May it be filled with many nice surprises!

IJKreation has put her suitcases (and thousands of boxes) down (at last)...in Avignon and has just joined the brand new craft association "En Folie".

Ah! What a joy to see the sun, what a delight to feel my cheecks frozen by the wind, what a pleasure to find this fanstastic food again! If you walk in Avignon, you may see some radishes and leeks hanging in the window of a fruit and veg shop, near the Places des Corps Saints. Have no fear, the owner has not gone bonkers. Each Saturday, the local and organic fruit and vegs sold at "La Courgette en Folie" (something like "The Crazy Zuccini") are delicately put in the fridge and are replaced by handmade jewels, bags, clothes, photographs and other creations.

This Saturday (29th January) will see the first craft market at La Courgette en Folie, 23 rue St Michel in Avignon, from 10h to 19h. Come along and bring your basket!

A Little Market

ijkreation arrive sur A Little Market!

Les premières créations seront disponibles à la vente dès mercredi 10 novembre 17h00 heure française. Au menu, des animaux d'automne et d'hiver, des petites fleurs bien anglaises et une poupée russe qui a fait un tel malheur chez nos amis les anglais qu'il n'en reste plus qu'une! En voici quelques aperçus...
J'espère que vous y trouverez votre bonheur! Davantage de créations seront ajoutées lors des prochains jours.
