Aveyron March 2014 - part deux
Let me share with you today photos from our little excursion to a little castle, the "Château de Calmont d'Olt". Perched atop a basalt dyke at an altitude of 535 m, it overlooks from 100 m the town of Espalion and the valley of the Lot. It provides a panoramic view of the Aubrac highlands. In 19...

acacia dealbata pouch
Sorry for interrupting the series of posts about our trip to Aveyron, but I had to share something. It's been such a while since I last showed you something (that I made that was) really new, I had to stop myself in my own tracks ! I've started embroidering a piece when we were in Aveyron, and t...

Aveyron March 2014 - part one
We stayed three days in the département of Aveyron last week, and I have a bunch of photos to share with you this week. Here are some random shots in the small village of Estaing, that we visited on the first day. As you can see, I'm drawn to old (or ancient), weathered things. The...
beautiful sunshine here making the fresh snow sparkle and shine.

combination
We're back from our little trip, with lots of awesome memories, and a bunch of photos that I will be sharing in the next few days. I had missed using my camera outisde. Cabin fever was hitting me hard. In the meantime, I have added a little zipped pouch in the shop, made of a combination of orga...
Greens have 15 mg of iron per 100 calories . Steak only 0.9 mg of iron per 100 calories. It is a myth that the best source of iron is meat !!

i am a believer in one of the lessons of Buddha “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.” It is not easy to accomplish but is attainable to each and every one of us. Enjoy your time with your family and little trip. I hope it will involve some time watching spring arrive. xx

and and about (again)
I didn't mean to be away for almost a week ... oopsie. Hubby & I were in Paris on Tuesday & Wednesday, and I must say that this short trip happened when I needed it the most. I hadn't been feeling top notch for the last couple of weeks. Now looking back, here's why. For the last months, hubby ha...
march is coming in like a lion today but being with some beautiful friends later today will certainly warm me up (wish you were here)

bye February, hello March !
February never felt so long & short at the same time, not unhappy to be on school break now ! Hubby & I will be going on a lightening fast getaway in the capital (I'm always looking forward to it) next Tuesday & Wednesday. So short but long enough for breaking the routine. Today the sun is shini...

ceramic / raku + beech wood
Now they are in the shop ... the six necklaces I showed you yesterday ! I have to give you some precisions, I think. I did NOT make the beech wood cubic beads, and I did NOT make the ceramic or raku beads neither. I purchased them from artisans in Italy, South Africa, and in the US. I am such a ...
love them all

Even though the sun wasn't here today, I took photos of the necklaces that will be joining the shop tomorrow. There will be these six ones, at first. I'll give more details about them all tomorrow. Thanks for looking :) ox S

signs of spring
Not very surprising, spring usually comes really early over here ... but temps right now are unseasonably warm for February. (up to 15°C today) In that perspective, it's hard for us to believe it's winter (though it's still something like 4°C in the morning) and to dress appropriately. Oh we...
