Saint Catherine’s day.
Today is Saint Catherine’s day!
In France the single girls used to wear a special hat on this day. They were called the “ Catherinettes “.
Beautiful ornamented hats, with fruits, flowers and birds…this was in the past. I remember when I use to receive beautiful cards on that day, as a child I was so happy.
so , I wish a Happy Catherine’s day to the Catherine.
Today, we have frost and rain at the same time, by the end of the week we are going to have snow.
I was going to do some shopping this morning, but I will wait. We have lots of slopes and hills to get out of the village and it is going to be slippery!
My new oven should be arriving today, ready for Xmas
Cooking and baking.
I will start to decorate the Xmas tree this weekend, but before I will receive my third Covid injection tomorrow.
Special day!
Hello Friends!
I wish you a Very Happy Thanksgiving!
Have a nice time with your family, enjoy the day!

Each year I try to find new ornaments for my Christmas tree. This year, I found this glas hand painted tea pot from “Meander” in Netherlands.
I soon will hang this tea pot on my tree.
