Description
Happy place is my atelier / shop = the place of creation.
I spend a lot of time here , creating something here , making something here, meeting people here ..etc.
These times are happy moments in my life.
And when I met sympathizer with my creation, and when I could bring out someone’s smile by my creation, these moments are so happy.
