Skipping through the streets of Paris... that’s what birthdays are all about! #turning4 #14juillet #bastilleday 🇫🇷
It’s been a while since I’ve made an origami card so when the opportunity came to thank someone special here in France I thought why not add a little personal touch. So I made the origami kimono using pages from a vintage Japanese book about writing haikus and summer letters (thank you @a_place_beyond for the paper pack). Inside the card featured a little paper pocket which contained the origami-folded thank you note. 💙#sprinklekindness #gratitude
Love love love catching these two in the moment! ❤️ #mytwoloves #inthemoment
Oh to be lost in the laneways of Lyon! ❤️ #lanewaylove #oldworldcharm
What a night! In a matter of months I became hooked on music by @brigittedefrance and tonight came the moment to experience them live, that too with my very own Parisian gal pal! 🇫🇷 #epic #lovedeveryminute
Look familiar? Sahil brought home some artwork from school this week and we asked him about this piece. “C’est le jardin des fleurs”! Apparently they’re discovering their inner Monet at the moment. Oh how I love French schools! 💙 #minimonet #monetswaterlilies
Reading about trains on a train. 🚞 #toddlersandtrains #sahilinparis
Vintage update: So another garage and antique sale at our local square and this time I spent more time discovering and less time taking random photos... Et voila, I now have my very own Choisy-Le-Roi plate for an absolute bargain! The company started in 1805 and closed its last factory in 1955 but after doing a bit of research, based on the markings on the back of the plate, it seems that this plate would have been made between 1863 and 1920. Yes I’m in my very own Antiques Roadshow episode! 😁 #parisvintage #littlepieceofhistory
While we’re here, it really doesn’t feel right to buy things that we know we won’t be able to take home, so we improvise wherever we can. A place for Little Man’s books meant a little bit of paper and an old packaging box. Et voila! Swipe 👉🏼 to see. 📚 #bookbox #homelibrary #upcycle
