I'm a happily married mum of two boys, aged 17 and 19, and as a family we moved to France eleven years ago. My husband works for a French company, I teach English to French people aged 6 - 60, and English reading and writing to the English-speaking children of the area. We are part of an English speaking church in Lyon. I love to shop for French vintage lace, fabric and household items, and to combine them with my British and global treasures in interesting ways.
Thanks for coming over to my British-meets-French Vintage blog! Please leave a comment - I love to hear from anyone who takes the time to read my posts, and I try to pop back and visit your blogs whenever I can.

Reality Check
I am not a perfect mother or housewife. There is dog hair under the sofa and the boys eat with their elbows on the table, however much they're nagged. I just assume you'd rather see the pretty stuff!

Happy Mothers' Day (UK)!
Hello - it's not French Mothers' Day, but I still want to wish my mum a wonderful UK Mothers' Day! Here she is, with the boys (and in one photo, my sister) over the last five years:
... and a Happy UK Mother's Day to you too :) I woke up this morning to learn something new -- that UK has its Mother's Day in March! You know, I thought 2nd Sunday of May would have been it, world wide :)
Isn't Archeology interesting! Makes sense to this interest in Vintage "treasures" :D
I might have been a liiitle too "vague" when I said my husband "works" in the museum. Museum part is true -- at the Natural History Museum. Work wise, well, he's there attending a conference, on Evolution and Conservation. :) Guess that might not be "work"-work, is it?
