To all you amazing readers who have encouraged me since Millefeuilles was created shortly before the Summer Solstice with generous words or in discreet silence
I wish you a peaceful, joyful Christmas with simple pleasures abounding and a pinch of magic.
Merry Christmas to all BiG sOuLs
and LiTtLe sOuLs.
And if anyone can envisage how to make the small trees below into real hats please let me know! I love them and they would make a marvellous challenge for next Yuletide.
I was thinking felted wool, perhaps?
I cannot wait to see you all in the New Year! I have a few surprises up my sleeve for you.
'Til then,
A bientôt,
Stephanie
ps I should add that despite the fact our journey begins in a couple of days the only things we have packed and ready are: a sack of gifts, a crate crammed full of Christmas tea, Winter Solstice infusions, Christmas Coffee, proper coffee, Christmas beer, a damned fine champagne and finally, in true French style, a bag brimming with medication - mostly homeopathic - for you cannot be too careful with three children ;-)

Best wishes to you and your family for a very Happy Christmas. It is such a pleasure to visit your site. I look forward to seeing you in the New Year.
ReplyDeleteMERRY HAPPY CHRISTMAS to you Miss Stephanie!! SO glad to have made your blog acquaintance...what is this making winter thing you were telling me about? We can chat when you get back. The trip in the roulotte, yes? OH I AM EXCITED FOR YOU!! I want to know EVERYTHING when you get back! :) ~Melissa
ReplyDeleteWishing you all that is good and kind for Christmas and the New Year. Your blog is a delight and I have so enjoyed following along.
ReplyDeleteThose little green mittens are too precious!
Dear Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you did start your blog, for many reasons - but not least for the book recommendations. (I am halfway through "The Ladies' Paradise" and am fascinated by how pertinent it is to today. I'm also glad that Denise has so far held on stubbornly to her virtue.)
The little hooded cape is adorable, as are the Christmassy mittens.
As for the charming print with the lovely tree hats - can you imagine any modern print showing children holding candles? Quel horreur! (I do but jest.)
Have a wonderful time in your mountaintop caravan. May the remedies stay packed and the more pleasant beverages be drunk to the health of all.
P.S. Your Christmas blog header is quite beautiful.
Lovely mittens, thank you so much for your kind comments on my blog. Have a very happy festive season to you and yours xx
ReplyDeleteSTEPHANIE!!!!!!!!!!! BE WELL MY DEAR FRIEND! ANd take a swig of that fine champagne for me!!! Oh how I love your little creations, blowing in the wind! BISOUS!!!!!! Anita
ReplyDeleteA Merry Christmas to you
ReplyDeleteDear Stephanie ~
ReplyDeleteOh my, you simply amaze with all of your lovely knitty creations... magnificent!
Wishing you and your dear ones a joyful holiday season. May your days be filled with laughter, love, and all things bright and beautiful!
Warm holiday hugs...

ReplyDeleteOh my dear, dear Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a kind word you have left for me today...before you leave to have moments with your loved ones that who know, just may spark a memory in them so as when THEY GROW UP, they will remember WHAT YOU DID on this most sacred of traditions and celebrations. It has been an honor to know you and I WISH YOU A MAGNIFICENT NEW YEAR OF SUCCESS and most of all, the perfect gift. Anita
