Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, I am so proud of myself... I thought I deserved this title! Oui, je sais, mes chevilles gonflent un peu de choisir un tel titre... You, on the other hand, are going to be so much disappointed... Vous, vous allez sûrement...
Dear readers, Today I'm here with a tale... Once upon a time, a little (ok, she's not so little anymore) girl (ok, woman) wanted to choose the perfect tiles for her fairy-tale cottage... But in the middle of the wood (ie, in the alleys of the stores),...
Dear readers, Here, in the peninsular part of France where the Little White House is, we're on Winter break. So what do you think I'm doing? Painting? Reorganising the office area? Changing my windows? Doing the laundry? Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! I'm fighting...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Today, I wanted to share with a funny story... Or maybe not so funny... Aujourd'hui, je vais vous raconter une histoire drôle, enfin, quand je dis drôle... When I went to visit my grand mother, I had a few pictures to show...
Dear readers, I come here today to make a confession (it's okay if just reading this, you burst into song, I know two just popped in my mind typing these words...) I'm addicted to Wedgwood since I visited the Victoria & Albert museum when I was 16 (yes,...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, You may have noticed in my previous post that the area around my garden was quite messy. I live in what we call a "hamlet" of six old houses whose gardens are all entangled in one an other... None of our gardens are square...
Dearest readers, Très chers lecteurs que je néglige un peu en ce moment, I know I'm beyond late with anything blog-related and also with anything house-work, laudry or painting related... But this you can't tell! I'm busy-busy-busy-busy-busy (yes, that...
Hello there, We are experiencing some mild cold here... I consider myself lucky as it seems Brittany is the only "warm pocket" in the whole Europe, warm being a generous word for our 2°C! Bon, d'après ce que j'ai compris, je ne dois pas me plaindre puisque...
Dear readers, I don't understand how you're still here, but according to the "blog statistics", you're even more numerous when I don't write. ?!? I'm beginning here a series on K ITC HEN S . Je commence ici une série d'articles sur les cu i s i n e s...
Dear readers, wanderers and all, I've been away for a while, so I'm not sure I really know where to begin... Maybe I should explain why I was away. Because the Little White House has eaten more budget than planned last summer, I have agreed to work some...
Please hum the title with this melody in mind: And don't blame me if it's raining on your house! (There's a saying here in France that off-key singing brings rain!) I should have started on my Christmas decorating two weeks ago. I was actually just stepping...
I must say I'm utterly amazed that I still have readers, though I haven't been a good blog-partier lately nor have I been much of a writer actually. So maybe it's time to tell you what's really happening at the Little White House. This is not an easy...
Dear readers, Only a few month ago, this was what the Little White House living-room looked like... Then, you might remember this picture of the Little White House living-room from last November. Peut-être vous souvenez-vous de ce à quoi ressemblait le...
The blog is not going full speed right now... But, reading the last comment I received convinced me it was time to write again! - Thanks Marcia, for that comment, by the way... Your timing was perfect! I'm slowly processing the idea that decoration will...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Thanks to all of you for visiting the Little White House lately... And thanks to all of you who tried to understand French enough to leave messages that were so nice to read. I think I owe you a mini living-room reveal. Please...
As some American bloggers are facing the first snow storm of the year (no, I can't forecast the weather, but I'm really good at reading everybody's blogs! ), we are blessed with the warmest autumn around here. The stone bench is the best place to relax...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Good news: your comments about the remodeling going on at my Little White House have really lifted me up. Bad news: there's a problem with over-blog lately and it's nearly impossible to comment... We're trying to fix the...
Fall, really? It's hotter around here than it has been all summer! Sérieusement, c'est l'automne? Mais les températures sont bien plus élevées que cet été... Et j'e n'ai même pas encore pu crâner avec ma nouvelle veste de rentrée... I've been kind of...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Here's what the living-room ceiling looked like a few weeks ago. Voilà ce à quoi ressemblait le plafond il y a encore quelques semaines... Here's what we discovered hidden behind... nice beams, but green beams... As usual...
I had to spend the day in Paris yesterday. "Had to" might seem a weird way to say it if you're dream is to visit the city. But I wasn't there for a sightseeing trip... unless you count Tenon Hospital as a must-see. You could, actually, as it's an old...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, First of all, I'd like to thank all the people who left nice comments lately. It always make my day to read them... Every now and then "overblog" doesn't allow me to write back after the comments... But I always make a point...
Dear readers, I figured since I'm show you the remodeling going on at the Little White House, I should start at the beginning... The ground floor. Phase 1 Three different floors for three tiny rooms: living-room in white, dining-room in red and kitchen...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Up until now, I didn't have a coffee table. All my previous homes had been way too small. It was already difficult to walk between the TV and the sofa... Ok, I'm slightly exagerating, but you get the idea, right? And then,...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, There's an activity I only have time for during summer. Il y a une activité que je ne pratique presque que l'été. Sunbathing? Scuba diving? Surfing? You're so very wrong! Cross-stitching! Bain de soleil? Plongée sous-marine?...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, I'm back at the Little White House though the renovation is far from complete. I promise picture in the near future. I know I already wrote that once... It's just very difficult to post pictures of my house in its current...
