I got more information in the Touzeau competition and its quite overwelming. The store carries brands like Fendi tables for $10,000 and crazy designers of that caliber. The competition has 10 contestants from 5 schools and the competition is broken into two areas: Table Decoration and Ambiance. One representative from each school has table setting and the other ambiance. I have table setting and my friend Lindsay has the ambiance which entails something like a sitting area and coffee table. We have free range of the store and the theme is the same for everyone, "10th anniversary." I will have to keep my ideas a secret but I will make my selections this week. The presentation to the winner will be done at a grand gala dinner at the Casino here in Montreux.

Table setting, three people in a group but guess my luck? My partner is sick so I had to do the table myself, normally1 person does flowers and 2 set the table. The theme is Autumn!

Cooking Class :) We only made dessert this week but its soo good.

Dessert: Fruit Tart and Creme au Glaze

Then I Had a meeting at Touzeau and began choosing my items to create my display. To my surprise the competition is not based on function of the setting its is how the merchandise photographs.

Have some pictures but i dont wanna spoil the surprise so keep checking in :)


Then we had a school trip to the circus, 'Cirque Knie.' It is the national circus of Switzerland.



It was so much fun: acrobats, elephants, lamas, horses and 3 stooges. The Show was 3 hours long but I was so upset we were not allowed to take pictures because it distracts the performers and animals.


Check in next Wednesday to locate the Jamaican Gal lost in Europe!
