Mosaic Monday-Cooking

Today I stayed at home to catch up on laundry and do some cooking.

There is something about cooking that says everything will be OK, 

life is fine, life goes on.

I hope your week is bright and fine.

My May 1st in the countryside post is coming up in a while:)

Monday blog loving-French inspired

Is it the season of the year? 

Is it a season in my life? 

I am becoming a little nostalgic, dear frineds. I recall the details of my mom's house, decorated by her in the 60s, styled in the French style that looked quite passe to me, only a few years ago. I am not all for it now, but I am thinking of little touches that may add some elegant and feminine details

With God's blessings, our eldest is travelling to Paris in the Spring with her class. I think I am almost as excited as she is. 

In that spirit, blogs and websites with French ismpired decorating ideas seem to be popping up in front of me every day. 

Sweet serendipity! 

I am sharing them with you, so that you too may be inspired. 

 I am curently stuck with The Bottom of the Ironing Basket, a blog not strictly concerned with either France or decoration. But the esprit des lieux is such, with weeeknds to Paris, French fashion and a selection of lovely photography, that it provides my daily French fix!

If you are serious about French style and want to bring some of it home, the French Garden House shop and blog is the place to turn to. 

From exquisite firniture to antiques and jewellery, this is a joyful place of endless beauty and inspiration.

Last but not least, I got myself a little something last week. 

It is a sweet little choker from Etsy seller Elegant Rarity.  

So unlike me, and yet...

I read that the young lady who makes them is an Archaeology student~I am an Archaeology graduate.

Can it be serendipity?

Mosaic Monday

Hello, dear friends,
For this week's Monday Mosaic, I am showing you the party favors we were given at the Christening of a client's son.

It's a metal motorcycle, slightly antiquated, painted in a lovely canary yellow, with chocolate filled candy.
I am in a mood for yellow this week, so I think I am going to post at least one yellow design post!

With Thanks to our hostess at Little Red House.

See you next week!

Mosaic Monday-Autumn decoration 2010

Hello dear friends,

Today I am joining Mosaic Monday at Little Red House, the lovely blog I wrote to you about in this post.
My first mosaic is a collage of photos from our new Autumn decoration at the shop, that we completed last week. I hope to post some more pictures this week. Thank you for stoping by today, and thanks to Mary Carroll for hosting.

Have a beautiful week,
