Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, It's been a pretty busy summer, but things are slowed down lately by small health problems... both mine and the cat's!!! On the plus side (they're always one!), being forced to rest and sit down gives me some time to show...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, In case you're wondering, Shadow (my now world's famous cat) is feeling better. Chat n°1 va mieux, merci à tous ceux qui s'en sont inquiétés... Le vétérinaire prétend qu'il y a un encart spécial dans le journal local sur...
Dears readers, Chers lecteurs, If you read the previous post, you know what my dream was for my garden... Si vous avez lu l'article précédent, vous savez déjà de quoi je rêvais pour mon jardin... So here I went singing a little tune... Alors, je me suis...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, There's an item I believe is necessary in a garden. Il y a un élément que je trouve indispensable à tout jardin. It's really nice to rest and enjoy the flowers after all the hard work needed in the garden. Il est bien agréable...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, It's been a crazy week at the Little White House. Semaine folle à la Petite Maison. I had bad news about my job. In the next fortnight I must take a decision that's kind of like playing heads or tails... Meaning I could have...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, It's been a while for a number of reasons... being busy with work, being busy with the house, being busy with the garden, being busy with life, being unable to find my place was on Blogland, being too tired to even type or...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Thank you so much for the encouraging words on my gardening... I'm still busy as a bee in the garden, but all the weeding I do every day after work is hardly post-worth. There's just a tiny transformation I thought I should...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, First, to all of you who are worried about the hedgehog, you can breathe again, he recovered from his misadventure and he went back to his usual hedgehog night life, which means I don't see him anymore. After saving that...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, I've always hated new year traditions. I feel completely stupid wishing a "happy new year" to people I barely know at work. And I don't wish better things at this time of the year to people I love than at any other moment...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, I confess I stole someone idea last weekend. J'avoue avoir volé une idée ce week-end. About a year ago I suscribed to a blog called Keeping It Simple. Il y a environ un an, je me suis abonnée au blog Keeping It Simple, et...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Thanks a lot for your comments who usually make my breakfast! I read them sipping my morning tea before going to work and it keeps me happy for the rest of the day! I believed something was missing to my first mantel. If...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Going shopping in December around here is pure craziness. There's just nowhere to park and even if you can park, there are so many people in the aisles that it gets on my nerves in no time and there's no need to tell you...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Tonight is the Twelfth Night, also known as "day of the Kings (Magi)" in France. It's a family day where we eat a cake inside of which a lucky charm has been hidden. The person who finds the charm in his or her piece of cake...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, My Christmas mantel is very, very simple. So you might wonder why I'm so extatic about it and so proud to show it on the blog. J'ai choisi un décor de cheminée extrêmement simple pour ce mois de décembre... Et vous vous demandez...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, It's a holiday tradition that I spend a day in Paris with my father. C'est devenu une tradition de passer une journée à Paris avec mon Papa lors des fêtes de fin d'année. We walked through the Luxembourg Park where he used...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, I don't know about your corner of the world, but here in Brittany it's been pretty cold all week. It was usually around 6°C/43°F during the day, which is rather cold for that part of the world, so close to the sea. En cette...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, As I keep reading your posts about Christmas decorating, this is the current state of The Little White House. Alors que tout le monde pense à ses décorations de Noël, moi je contemple un salon qui ressemble à ça... (Picture...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, I went to an "empty-your-attic" sale this morning. At this time of the year, they are organised indoors and to me it lacks some of the charm that outdoor ones have. I mean it's not the same to wander in beautiful village...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, There's a really narrow wall between the living-room window and the door. Here you can see it before renovation began. Il y a un petit morceau de mur bien étroit entre la fenêtre du salon et la porte. Le voilà dans toute...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, It's funny how really tiny things can throw a whole idea off. A few months ago, I discovered that the first floor of my house had to be entirely redone. So all the walls were torn done. I wasn't sad to get rid of the sliding...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, As you might remember, the transformation of my garden is a long process... La transformation de mon jardin ne se fait pas en un coup de baguette magique. Mais je suis fière aujourd'hui de vous présenter mes toutes premières...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, My name is Milo. I've always lived at The Little White House. That is, until my owners decided to sell it and move two streets away two years ago. Je m'appelle Milo et j'ai toujours vécu à la Petite Maison. Mais mes maîtres...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Do I really need to tell you that I'm currently working on fairy tales? I first thought of having a cheval mirror when I saw one there: J'ai commencé à avoir envie d'une psyché après en avoir vu un ici: I spotted one on Le...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Did you ever have to bring a present to someone you barely knew? I find it very difficult. Avez-vous déjà dû apporter un cadeau à quelqu'un que vous connaissiez peu? Ce n'est pas ce qu'il y a de plus facile. As a substitute,...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, I'm pretty sure you're familiar with the "new to me, but actually quite old" pieces we all bring back home... And you must also know that feeling that sometimes the piece chooses you rather than you choose it. This is exactly...
