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 Saint Patrick's Day to you! Thank you for your information about the "cat-flowers"..honestly I don't know what they are called in Italian! Love your crocuses..we've got only one in our garden.."don't touch it" too, of course! ;-)
Happy st patricks to you too, especially from the 1/16th of me that is Irish! I'm happy to enter you in my giveway - I was just trying to avoid the complications of posting to another continent! Another time I will say Europe :)
Beautiful piece of lace, wow! You are lucky to be able to pick a few flowers from the garden already, those crocuses look really pretty. Nothing much is happening in ours, except for a couple of brave primroses. I am so ready for seeing some colour in the garden.
Happy St Pat's Day to you too Hun. Being of Irish decent I thought it was only fair that I celebrate it properly, my Lenten promise breakage is allowed for saints days! Mind you, that rule of thumb officially only leaves about 6 days where I have to stick to it hee hee! xxx
magsmcc is funny. We had a girl at school who wore Guinness shorts and had to call her mother for a wardrobe change. I had a hair appointment down at the University and all the revelers were celebrating St. Patrick's Day with beer and green balloons. I like your lace, Floss.

Happy St Patrick's day.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
May God be with you and bless you;
May you see your children's children.
Sweet little vases. xx
Happy St Patricks Day x
