Wear your age with pride with these NEW slogan sweatshirts — That’s Not My Age

 

It’s sweatshirt weather and to welcome the autumn season, as part of the ongoing collaboration between That’s Not My Age and Dandy Star, we have created two new, age-positive designs.

En vrai, je n’aurais probablement pas tenu le coup sans elle et sans son aide.
J’en parlerai dans de prochains articles, quand je pourrais parler de son talent et de sa gentillesse avec photos de l’appart à l’appui !
Mais en gros, pour répondre à ta première question, il faut remonter à tout début 2020 : Amélie a dessiné les plans, j’en étais ravie, mais je n’avais pas les moyens de m’offrir le package complet avec suivi de chantier.
Elle a gentiment proposé de faire quand même une ou deux visites en cours de chantier + d’être là à la livraison des travaux terminés.
