Christmas baking.

Early this morning I decided to bake Xmas biscuits!

This is what I baked and I must do the icing this afternoon. I have accumulated quite a lot of cutters.

Next week I will bake small Xmas cakes I choose on my Xmas baking book. When I went to Alsace ( north east of France) we visited the beautiful Xmas markets

And bought glass Xmas decorations and bredele

Many different biscuits. It is a magical place especially 

Colmar and the small villages around.

I wish I can go there next year !

 I forgot to show you my new gaz that my son in law installed before he will have his surgery and a new kitchen hood! Ready for cooking 🥘!

This weekend I am going to get some new glass Xmas tree decorations and have a quiet weekend with my husband!

Enjoy your weekend!

Alice in wonderland…

Today, I received my order from “Avec Passion” near Paris to start a journal about Alice in Wonderland for my grandchildren. There are wood cuts and so many nice items to do the journal!

Stickers and tags and papers to do the pages.

 I am going to read again Alice and write some passages of the book in it.

I should go down to my shop as I had two notifications that I have sold a lot, but I am waiting for a Xmas present from my daughter in Law this morning.

I am impatient to see what I have sold and I prepared new items to bring down !

Have a good day!

Xmas Spirit.

Last year I had white amaryllis, but this time it is red( should have been white and pink…)

This morning I continue to sort out all the decoration pieces I have in order to sell and clear the house!

Two chandeliers with tassels I have painted long ago.

It must be hanged  to see it well.

I did not decorate my tree yet, but as it is a real one I lower the temperature and spray it with water and i can smell the forest 😆 

These are some decorations I started to install 

 Today, we are having a sunny and cold weather but a nice winter day!

This afternoon I have some cooking and baking to do . This morning I prepared the items I am going to bring to my shop tomorrow morning as I have sold again yesterday! We will see tonight!

Something new.

Hello friends 

Between my shop and my journal crafts and the sorting out of cabinets I am busy!

Feeling much better for the moment I do as much as I can!

My husband ordered on Amazon some wax to do wax stamp on my crafts, I had the idea on Pinterest 

I had to heat the coloured wax and apply the stamp

Next time I will include lace or a ribbon

These are all the colours I got last night when my husband came home

 Today, I am still busy as I received a mail from the shop” vide grenier” ( empty your attic) last night.

I have sold 31 items and I had to go and fill my shelves again!

So I am busy sorting out all the cabinets of the house to get something to sell. I have one and. Half week to go…I am waiting for the everyday mail after the closing of the shop at 19h (7) I sell some decorations I don’t want anymore and some clothes and shoes, bags and some DIY I made myself and they are selling well.

Next year I will create items and rent the shop a few weeks to sell them. So I can create things and not keep them and got little money.

At the moment I have sold 31 items!

Have a good day.

A vintage doll.

This week I saw this doll in one of the shops and this doll reminded my of a kind of dolls I saw in the 80’s

But can’t remember the name of the brand. Do you know the name of that doll brand???

 I had to go back to my shop this morning.

I received a mail last night informing me that I had sold an item and as the shops are opened on December Sundays I got up early cleaned and packed more items and went to the place.

Then we went to Saint Nicolas Xmas market to the water mill close to where we live. I forgot to take pictures of the Mill… we bought home made Xmas jam, ginger bread, bread made with the mill flour and cupcakes!

Here it is winter quite cold and expecting a little snow ⛄️. This weekend the shop will be crowded and I will see tonight when I receive the mail if I have sold anything ??and go down to the shop tomorrow morning…

Have a nice Sunday.

I found the same doll « A Sarah Kay » dolll!

Exactly the same one on the net!

My husband reminded me the name I was looking for.

Christmas spirit .

This morning , early morning as there are three hours difference with Dubai, my son has sent me a picture of the Dubai Mall Xmas tree.

We are both fans of Xmas decorations and Xmas spirit!

These pictures are from our nearby garden Center.

 Enjoy your Xmas decorating!

( I had a mail from my shop I have sold again and must put some new items to sell!)

We are having snow ⛄️ !

December the 1rst!

Hello Friends !

This morning I lighted the first advent candle!

Happy December and advent to you!

I also opened my craft advent calendar from “Daphne’s diary” from the Netherlands.

In the first little drawer there are cute little labels to place the people round the table, but I will use them next year my son won’t be able to come , my DIL being expecting her second son and will not be able to fly and my son in law will have a surgery on December the 22 dn and will not be able to move. 

The amaryllis was supposed to be white and pink???

Yesterday I received a parcel from Mari in the USA

🇺🇸 and I was really happy with her gifts and Xmas cards it it so nice of her! From “My little corner of the world 🌎 “ thank you so much Mari ,Bob,Ruby and Alaina for the beautiful Xmas cards!

I also received miniatures for my mice house!

As soon as I unwrapped the scrapbooking items I started to think about what I could do?

And I did this in the afternoon!

This is very relaxing!
 Today, we are December the 1rst the advent time is beginning. I did not finish my Xmas decorations yet, but I think I ´ll work on it this weekend. Maybe buy the Xmas tree.

I wish you all a nice advent and a nice December!
