snow in rural France


Beautiful french sun glistened on lovely fresh snow as we woke up this morning. So envigorating. I love it! We are in the South West so snow seldom falls. Everything stops - no school today!Youpiee!!

et voila! to be added to my etsy store totmorrow! When children are in bed how productive one becomes!
Came across Pia Jane Bijerk's blog yesterday - too beautiful - she is most definately a very good stylist! I am definately putting a copy of her new book Paris Made By Hand on my Christmas list - no doubt it'll be me who buys it however..
but as usual always end up hand embroidering - it's therapy..

Took out my vintage sewing machine to begin my sewing projects to coordinate with my prints on Etsy..
