A Merry Message With Bells And Chimes

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 ;-)

  12. Dear Stephanie,

    I 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.

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
