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!

Boxes and buttons...
Back home from our week in Edinburgh;our cases are yet to be unpacked but I have found time to put the latest fabric box, plus some buttons I picked up, onto the stack!

I too am glad you are home safely and hoping your time spent was all good.
(I brought buttons back from Edinburgh too and bobbin lace spindles, the latter rarely to be found in the U.S.)
Looking forward to your coming posts!
What an intriguing image - I so want to see the boxes and buttons in more detail!
Sigh. I left a comment and then my computer deleted it! Grrr.
I love boxes and always pick them up...I store my stationary in them (which I also collect!.)
Cannot wait to read your Anthro post- the last time I was in one was years ago.
I can't wait you know how I feel about my beloved Anthropologie!
