Testing, testing ... going live!



Lots of late nights, learning and laughing ...
A few glasses of good red wine...
Some ummings and aaahings...

Thanks so much to Nathalie @ Coaching and Web 
for the hours and hours 
and hours 
and hours (ad infinitum)
she has spent
writing the code,
and
generally putting it all together.
I think she's done a great job!

Thanks to Mlle Julie@ Being Ruby 
for the great work she did 
on transforming my blue shutter
for the front page.
Can ANYONE help me convince this girl 
to put her photo works/writing into book form?

Thanks to the exceptionally witty 
and verbally gifted Lulu Labonne 
who helped me define 'who I am' 
then put it into some sort of intelligible 
and I like to think interesting perspective. 
DITTO FOR THE BOOK idea above!!
The unintelligible bits are still written by... moi

Mille mercis to Anne Sacramento for her invaluable advice 
and the work she is still helping me do on my logo 
(soon to be replacing the 'Signed by Ange' you see now)

And mille mercis also to my lovely friend
who is on her way to Toulouse
armed with a camera and
enough talent to make a photo of moi
look unfrightening
(if you get the picture ;-)

Thanks for all your patience as I have been very remiss 
and sporadic in my visits recently.
I know :(

Guess I'd better get on to translating this all into Français now!
And maybe get a bit of painting done too
N'est ce pas?

If you get the time to visit my site, 
would you be a sweetie and let me know 
if any of the links don't work, 
something seems wildly out of place 
or if I've made some huge embarrassing 
spSPelling mistakes? 
Otherwise, it's a bit like having a poppy seed 
stuck between your front teeth all day, 
or your skirt tucked into your knickers ...
 by the time you realise yourself, 
it's too late!! 
Lovely spring day to you all.

HOPE YOUR EASTER WAS FABULOUS!
My brushes are calling...

  1. Ange, I have just checked out your website and it is beautiful, unfortunately I am not the person to check for spelling mistakes, as my own spelling is appalling. I did not see anything that jumped out at me, will have a more in-depth look when I have more time.
    I completely agree with you regarding Julie at Being Ruby, We are going to have to work on her.

  11. It's a lovely website, clear and white and elegant with beauty and individuality and a sense of personal conviction rather than consumerism. And I'm so pleased to know what you look like! Well done, Ange, and well done to the wonderful Julie as well for her distinctive and creative artwork.

  14. Dear Ange,

    Looks great! One suggestion, when clicking on the Etzy link, have it coded so it opens as a new window, otherwise one leaves your website.

    I'll have another deeper look and write you privately.

    Warmest regards,
    Egmont

  24. Ange, it's fabulous! I love what you've written about yourself and inspirations, and personally think the photo is great - not at all frightening!! Sooo pleased to see that lamp in the gallery with the shoe lasts. I only foresee one problem - having enough time to keep that shop filled with your lovely inspiring pieces!! Congratulations. Amanda xx

  27. Ange, your website is gorgeous! As are you, but I'm sure you know that by now. I had fun learning a bit more about you, so I hope that you don't mind that I looked through it all. And true, you are indeed a wordsmith.

    I agree that Julie@BeingRuby needs to do something with her photography. I keep hoping she will.

    HTML is a bear!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ange, your website is wonderful! I began looking last night and saw your beautiful face and I smiled and smiled. Not today when I went to click around and see more- it is gone, even your link does not work. I am guessing you know all this and are doing something to your website. Just wanted to mention this, in case you do not know.
    Congratulations!

Can't think of a famous quote that says 'communication makes the world go round' so you 'll just have to get my clumsy way of putting it instead ;-) Your comments are precious. Thanks for dropping by!
