... hand made with a dash of vintage and a touch of new.
This festive season, may you
open more doors...
A splash of crimson in a vintage jam jar lends an apéritif that Christmassy feeling...
for all my French friends who are watching their weight just before the big 'feast.'
Bon apétit!
An old bonbonnière ...
(Mmm - she used to be used for making home made nut or orange wine. You know the recipe: 40 nuts. 40 sugars. 40 days etc etc? NO? Leave a comment and I will send you the recipe. But to make it as well as my MiL... takes practice. And now I have her bonbonnière...)
...Lights the way for guests in the entrance.
For more beautiful vintage Christmas decorations you can visit
Joan at Anything Goes Here.
Tomorrow (date of the Immaculate Conception) is the Fête de la Lumière in Lyon , when every house decorates their window sills with millions of candles to light the way for the passer by. Maybe I've taken a bit of poetic licence with the number of candles used.
It's reputed to be BEAU-TI-FUL!
Joan at Anything Goes Here.
By the light of my bonbonnière I shall now get back to my painting.
A luminous Crimson Christmas to all!
