Jam making day!

 Hello Friends,

This is making jam day! On Sunday, we got 7kg fruits and yesterday I start making strawberry jam and plum jam.

Today, I have a little left to make and put labels and decorate the jars for winter. 

I have cut a bunch of sweet peas from the garden.

After make ng jam I will make a plum pie for tonight.

These are the orchards all along the “ fruit road “ along the river Seine. We can get apple and pears in Autumn, all sorts of plums, strawberries, raspberries, cherries… all red fruits in Summer

At best prices especially those for jam. These fruits can’t be sold on the markets but they don’t keep long so you have to make jam quickly!

Ready to keep in the closet for winter.

I still have problems to leave comments I hope it won’t last too long!

Little vintage things...

 Hello friends!

Chalk paint post.

This is what I did during the lockdown with chalk paint and jam jars. I use them for my jewellery.

On top of the jars are drawer knobs.

I also use Annie Sloan chalk paint.

The pictures are from my upstairs bathroom the vintage frames are from « Maison du Monde »

This is very simple to make and they are very useful!

Thank you for your visit.
