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!

Festive Front Door
I didn't tell you one of the best things about my Cookie Exchange with the MOPS last week... One of the mums, Amy, showed us a wreath she'd made and took orders for more...
Wonderful wreath Floss, I'm not surprised you are thrilled with it. Looks fabulous on your front door. Much more impressive than my little one that keeps falling off!
I love that wreath I tried to make an apple orange wreath and I thought it was so pretty I hung it on a wall INSIDE the house and it started to mold and stuck to the wall. It was the first year Phil and I were married I wonder if he thought what have I got myself into!!!
The wreath is really lovely, and I bet it smells ever so nice as well with those yummy spices on it. And I have to say, that front door is beautiful, even without a wreath on it.
That is really lovely. What a talent. I admit to having a fake one which I suppose is better than nothing but I really must try and do better next year. Your door looks very festive.
That is one of the nicest wreaths I have ever seen, beautiful and oh so welcoming. I usually make my own so hoping not too much snow and wind to contend with when I go gathering this weekend. Carol xx

The wreath is beautiful! Good enough to eat, in fact!

What a lovely wreath! I do love the freshness of it. I don't have one this year as I just can't decide how to decorate it. How pathetic is that??
