Inspired at Coffee break

Visited a local coffee / eating place in Larkhall - a really cute little place called Ma Cuisine - it was buzzing! Coffee was up to scratch (a rarity to find at the mo) and  the atmosphere was perfect - a little hub of busy activity and run by a french couple (singing chef and sunshine made for a v happy visit!!!) Bookcase aptly filled with french books - one of which caught my eye...

The illustrations in French Leave Favourites were so charming... and made me want to get my water colours out straight away (and also made me want to go back to France - NOW)

 The pencil illustrations - not pictured brilliantly here, were inspiring too - soft, textured, detailed..

 The feeling of sunshine and cafe culture is captured brilliantly i think! I must find out the artist.
