    Monday working

     

    It's been a long weekend traveling around the French part of Switzerland (in train) and being at markets (photos to follow!). 

    There's no time to be lazy today, BUT... look at where I get to work from! Today I've been busy making stock 

    for a coffee shop and a baby store in Zurich.

    Yes, I love my job.

    Ps: Tonight, I'll be at the Rimini in Zurich, for Montagmarkt 7.30pm-12am.
    Ps: Look at our beautiful salads in the background :)
