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!

A prophecy fulfilled...
Mine, mine, all mine!
And Nana Go-Go, I did read your helpful advice but my dad's Tesco is an inner-city one and it doesn't have clothes and shoes. And do you know what, I just wanted to splash out!
I cannot wear ballerina flatties like that - but if I had TWO pairs, I would be sorely tmepted to wear a red striped right foot and a blue striped left foot!

Jealous of your sunshine - hoping ours comes back tomorrow.

You could have bought LOTS of pairs and sold them on in France, one pair to me!
Those are so cute. How nice that you could see them on your feet, and now there they are!
Glad you did - you deserve them! Very sweet indeed.
Hope you had a lovely time with your Dad.
How lovely - hope they are comfy - I won't wear anything that isn't - they look very pretty and... French!
They look lovely, very pretty and summery.
Lovely indeed. As are the monogrammed ribbons - love!
Hope your Dad is keeping well (and you too, of course!) x
Yay!! I have a pair of these as well and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! Enjoy! Cx
Love the shoes... they would make any outing fun to be on!
Enjoy......... loved your post title today!
Love the shoes, but I love the playful, fun tone of this post even more!
Good for you!
Oooh I'm glad you did. Lots of loveliness, well deserved :)
Enjoy.
Can't beat Cath Kidston for pretty summery shoes...I got some CK plimsolls last year and loved them to death. :)
Gorgeous flowers, gorgeous shoes. GORGEOUS SPRING! :)
Hooray, what happy spring shoes!
