LE PETIT CABINET DE CURIOSITES

Guessing game

Is it a dress or a curtain ...?

Well I guess that is easy , as my parents own a decoration shop and not a shop of clothes

Christmas tag

I've been tagged by Robyn form my Mélange for a christmas même so here is my list of the 12 things I love about christmas

• above all I love christmas season because I love to receive wonderful greetings cards from everywhere.This year I was very touched to receive my first christmas card from a new friend : a blogger : TARA from Paris Parfait . Her card was wonderful : a black and white card (I love and collect black and whiet picture) and I love the detail of the " meilleurs voeux" stamp

• I love thinking what would be the best christmas present for everybody, and I like to begin a long time ago before christmas

• I love receiving present and thinking that poeple have thought about me. This morning, I had a wonderful surprise , my new friend and blogger , the Famous Good Fifi , helped by her sister sent me a wonderful present. It touched me so much , she can not even imagine.

Lovely linen cahier with handmade embroidery and a best wishes card from Fifi

• Preparing a "meal " for santa , putting my little shoes to be fulled and putting some papillotes or candies , clementines and ancohol to warm up santa claus. I love to see my little cousins in the morning when they see santa ate almost everything

• because it is time to eat papillotes ( Papa NOel is not the only one)
• It is time in Provence to eat Nougat , suce miel *( have you heard about them?) , and fruits confits they are part of our famous and traditional 13 desserts
• It is time to come out my marvellous little santons , to make my creche

Litle santons in a wonderful creche

• Thinking of the wonderful diner of the 24 th of December and then the dejeuner of the 25 th . My parents are kind of chiefs . Each year they impressed us with special recipes ...they are the best
• It is time to give joy , happinness . To give my love , to show it. Well I should every minute but at this time of the year , it is time to think about it MORE and to think about what I have done wrong ( even if it is not the only moment)
• Sharing a wonderful time with my family , because during the year we sometimes don't have time
• I love to see all my presents and the presents of the poeple I love waiting for us close to the christmas tree
• Spending time eating without having complexes ...come on it is christmas I can eat 1000000000 calories . It is one of my christmas gift ( kidding)

Christmas decoration : some corners

To the ones who know my shop , we own 2 floors . My space is on the 1st floor and decorated as a real home.

Christmas is my favorite time of the year for different reasons , one of them is that I can decorate the living room of the show room like in a real home so at the begining of December I set up a tree , a christmas table , new curtains and all kind of decoration everywhere.

Today I'm going to show you this little provencal flat. Tomorrow it will be the turn of the shop downstairs.

Upstairs , this year is brown , orange silver and gold like my new curtains , the christmas tree is very simple cristal from chandeliers and lights.
