Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Sometimes from a bad experience results something good or "it takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow". Parfois d'un malheur naît quelque chose d'heureux ou "la pluie comme le soleil sont nécessaires pour faire un...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, If you would like to remember a wonderful chandelier, please press play... My mom, who's sitting next to me as I'm writing, is making fun of me for comparing my chandeliers to the Opera's one... This is just a quick post...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, As I'm at my parents', my mom joins me in my Sunday trips to attic-sales (aka as yard sales). Comme je suis chez mes parents, ma Maman m'accompagne dans mes virées dans les vide-greniers du dimanche. Going to an attic sale...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Things at the Little White House are slowly changing... Les choses changent doucement à la Petite Maison... You may remember that I wanted to get rid of the fake ceiling that is (or was) in the living-room. Peut-être vous...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, The Little White House is about to get its first phase of remodeling in less than a month and I'm both excited and worried. I already told you about my hesitations with the new floor and my hesitations about the opening I...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, You may remember that July was the month of the first phase of the Little White House's remodeling (out of 50-something phases...). Well, it's not going so well and I'm experiencing some problems. Vous vous souvenez peut-être...
Miaow! Mistress is just way to busy and tired these days to keep her blog updated, so I thought I would give her a paw and tell you a bit what's been going on at the Little White House. Meanwhile, if you don't want to read, you can always play a game:...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, I'm so very late for Sarah's party. It's a pity since I loved the idea of a "kitchen favourites" party and I took pictures as soon as she suggested it. But then, well, life happened... For the third summer in a row, I'm putting...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, So I'm pretty sure you're wondering where I'm going with this title. Won't tell you, sorry... Except if you read till the end! I began flea-marketing / yard-saling / brocanting (what do you mean it's not in your dictionary?)...
OK, so there wasn't much of a parade actually as it was my parents and I quietly at home. But it was a super nice day. D'accord, ce n'était pas une vraie parade, car traditionnellement, mes parents et moi passons Pâques tranquillement ensemble. Mais il...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Today it's been one year since I first visited the Little White House, one year since I saw that old blue gate with a "to buy" sign next to it, one year since I discovered the kind of heaven that was well hidden from the...
Hi everyone! Bonjour à tous! We've been blessed with a wonderfully sunny weekend here at the Little White House. So I decided to go all Bob-the-builder... Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir un weekend particulièrement ensoleillé et j'ai donc décidé de me...
Dear readers, Chers Lecteurs, I've been moving a lot lately and the Little White House, as tiny as it is, is the biggest place I've ever lived in, which does mean a lot of furniture shortage and a lot of light fixture shortage. La Petite Maison, pour...
Hello everyone! Bonjour à tous! I hope you're all enjoying the spring settling in. J'espère que vous appréciez tous le printemps qui s'installe. My work in the side garden is way late for two reasons: my new job takes a lot of what should be my personnal...
Hi lovely readers! First, I'm sorry if there were any spelling mistakes in the last post (my mom spotted a few in the French part): Shadow told me it was sometimes difficult to reach the right key with his paws! Tout d'abord, je présente toutes mes excuses...
So the very famous in France Stéphane Bern said we would all remember what we were doing when the Royal Wedding (it does deserve capital letters, doesn't it?) took place. My family and I sure do! It was an exhausting day! Stéphane Bern prétend que tout...
Dear Sarah, party guests and welcomed new comers, Très chère Sarah, invités de la fête et nouveaux venus, So as requested, I dressed up... I chose my most flowery dress. Comme indiqué sur l'invitation, je me suis vêtue de ma robe la plus "florale". Please...
Hi everyone who's stopping by! Here are some pictures of some winter blooms that are currently the joy of the Little White House. Voilà les fleurs qui illuminent cette fin d'hiver dans la petite maison blanche. When I bought this one it said it was pink....
Hi! Bonjour à tous! First, I'd like to thank all the people who left very nice comments about my garden: I felt like it was Christmas again when I read them! So please, make my day, leave comments again!!! As a very young teacher I had a job in a very...
Hi everyone! I hope everybody had a nice Christmas. I left the Little White House in a rush: the weather forecast wasn't good and so I took an earlier train to be sure to be with my family for Christmas... with the cat and a bag full of presents!!! Some...
On our last day of school, it was snowing (yes, again!) pretty bad when I drove back home, so rather than waiting for the next day, I stopped on my way home to buy a tree. I mean, we could have been stuck at home all weekend! Actually, this time, we just...
Dearest readers, Chers lecteurs, Just in case you thought I was completely mad when writing my title, it's a quote from the TV show Buffy The Vampire Slayer, the show that taught me English... It deserved to be quoted at least once. So my days of this...
How did you picture Forks when you read Twilight? Cause you have read Twilight, right? Well, we had that kind of weather today: rain, rain, rain, two seconds of sunshine, rain, rain, rain... It would have been a good day to re-read Twilight, but I had...
Here is project #2 completed. Upstairs, the floor was just chaos! There was a fake woodfloor in the guest room and in the bathroom (but not the same, of course!), navy blue carpet in the main bedroom, a blueish thing in the toilets and an Arlequin-style...
When it comes to decoration, I'm rather faithful... I've been in love with English cottage style since I was a little girl. My mother and I used to go to a mall not far from the village we then lived in. My mom loved shopping! I didn't, but I always wanted...
