Happy Saint Patrick’s day!

 Hello Friends,


You know I told you our daughter and husband were in Costa Rica for two weeks. Before they left I  was afraid their flight was cancelled because of the strikes… they were able to leave but not able to come back!

The country beginning to be paralysed by demonstrations , strikes…

Finally they are still in Costa Rica and the french airline company offered them a night in the Hilton , but we don’t know when they will be able to fly back.

Today we will have rain and thunder in the end of the afternoon, we need rain 🌧️ because we had few and it is becoming to be dry which is strange for Normandy?

After three days wind 💨 we will have thunder! I hope nothing will be damaged ( our region is in “orange” today it means” violent thunder storms.”

Tonight Mr L will bring the diner, I order every Friday a salad from our favorite restaurant and he goes and takes the order after work on its way home.

Yesterday, I was looking at some old “Victoria”  Bliss and Classics magazines. The first ones were sent to me by my aunt who lived in Connecticut and then I could get them in France, but it was very expensive  getting them from US so I had to stop. But I still have a little collection.


This painting is from Jean Baptiste Perronneau “ Fillette au chat” young girl with a cat . It is in the National Gallery in London.(1743)
I love this painting and this morning there was a special light on it I wanted to share with you.
This lace heart was a gift from a blog friend in Belgium 
When I had my first blog, she was young but has left us a long time ago and I have always kept this souvenir of her. Behind are presents from a Spanish blog Friend I still follow on Facebook.
You can see the cat in the left corner.
This is a  stencil I used on grey wallpaper 
I found these ideas in an old 2013 Victoria Classics Monograms magazine ( source)
I think I will return to our Summer street markets to get vintage items to do some more crafts.


The pictures are from this 2013 magazine .
I found this vintage basket in a village street market. I think it a basket for fruit harvesting?

My  vintage lace jar

Some rags I found in a brocante and did not know it was a dress. So I put the peace’s together but the fabric is very thin and fragile.





I wish you a lovely day!

A cool relaxing day ☺️ !

Cheeses will be bought before we leave I have orders from friends and our daughter  We will have lunch there tomorrow  And supper there tomo...
