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!
Hello Floss Thank you for joining in and linking up :-) I love the beading ... how interesting that we've both shown that. My boy at the very beginning of learning to bead and yours is now able to get creative with design. Such fun! Happy weekend,
Your pictures have made me smile, especially the banging a nail in to a tin can one. That made me laugh. What it it about boys that means they have to hit things with hammers? I hope it was all to a useful end!
Hi Floss, Haha!Flaming Nora's comment made me think of dear old Blue Peter programme...do you remember when they used to say ( at 'dangerous' parts of the 'make'.." You might like to get an adult to help you with this.."! I don't think so, in the case of Son 2! smile Btw I read your thoughtful Pause in Lent post with great interest. Happy Hand-crafting! xx Alex/ Hazelnut
