Hello December!

Hello Lovelies, how are in this beginning of a new month?

 Wow! What a lovely "December fog"! found here.

"I'm so glad I live ina world where there are Octobers." OK, and Decembers, too!

I'm re-reading my list of Winter Essentials, so I won't loose courage and won't forget what I'm thankful for!

Life has been really tough for me and my family the last couple of months and I'm just recovering... But I'm glad and happy for this new season of merriness.

So I'm sharing with you my ideas for a simple, lovely white handmade Christmas, just here!

Have a great time decorating your house!

Oh, and Happy, Happy Friday!

Hello Lovelies!

After working hard this past week, at my day-job that is, I am now enjoying the sun, a friend's swimming pool and happy French appetizers! July is among us and a fierce wind is blowing here in the South of France.


Have a sparkling lil weekend, my dears!

Happy Holidays!

Hello Lovelies!

I wish you a heartfelt Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

And most of all:

PEACE, LOVE & JOY!

Above is a picture found on the "mochatini" blog via the decorology blog depicting quite well my ideal Christmas morning: lovely silver, simple & handmade decorations, white linens and lots of tea, of course!

Again, here's to this season to be merry!

Frightened Or Festive?

Hello lovelies,

I've been away for quite a while, but believe me, it was worth the wait! My little sister got married under snow flakes in the most diminutive white dress (she was sooo lovely as a bride!) and I drew and doodled as usual...

Above is a result I'm happy with: "A Frightened Caterpillar" that looks actually quite festive and X-massy with her red horns (that she shows only when she fears danger).

My Etsy will re-open this week I promise!

Until then,I wish you the best butterfly dreams, lovelies,
