Grandson in a big toy shop…everything is so wonderful!


And Granny in her favourite little shop! Everything is so wonderful! I am like a child in a toy shop 😆!

And granny found a big beautiful Angel! For her Xmas decoration.

And new tree decorations!
I love it!











We had lunch outside at the Watering can. A hot sandwich and a vanilla and caramel macaroon  , my husband had lemon tart.


 Last time we went to the shop we had a violent storm and this time a lot of rain fields and road flooded!

Now we are resting at home 🏠

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.


Indian garden from the Chateau!

Hello Friends ! I have just a few minutes peace so I just wanted to show the Indian garden of the castle that we can visit only once a year....
