I really like her combination of passion and the unashamedly intellectual approach to what she does. Very best wishes to Heloise. I am sure she is as clever as she is beautiful. And musicality too! We have many talents amongst my very lovely children but none of us can play, except my eldest daughter who could play piano until a wrist operation derailed her.

We have one in the garden, wonderfull looking in the evening light of June, its last flowers fading away.<br />Congratulation to the talented musician! I hope, some day, Elsa and I will have the chance to listen to his music. <br />And there is now another book I must order. The Light Years will be my companion for the holidays. <br />I realise that I did not answer to you last comment on Elsa's clothing. As a matter of fact, it's been a long while since I last entered a clothing shop. Some are indeed homemade, and some come from two nice friends designers : Fei An who created Naive Days (which is now only available in China -except for lucky friends!), and Alexandra with whom I worked last year (La Princesse au Petit Pois).<br />Happy first summer days !<br />Améliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002141199793663602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021767487568808447.post-71242845206022810532014-06-20T04:18:15.341+02:002014-06-20T04:18:15.341+02:00I just discovered your blog and I think that it is...I just discovered your blog and I think that it is the loveliest I have seen. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404643458099735169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021767487568808447.post-4238311005632350402014-06-19T04:00:59.519+02:002014-06-19T04:00:59.519+02:00Congratulations to the lucky ladies!

I always pictured it as more of a juniper-y type bush; how lovely to think that it's more like a wild rose.<br /><br />Tremendous congratulations to Tristan - how proud you must be! - and I hope that Héloïse is doing well and staying calm in the midst of the examination storm.<br /><br />Miss Eglantine is as lovely as her flowery namesake. :)Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021767487568808447.post-3931398128606226572014-06-18T15:37:40.932+02:002014-06-18T15:37:40.932+02:00Oooh, Elegantine is just beautiful -- as are all y...Oooh, Elegantine is just beautiful -- as are all your cute little creations.

She is so lovely; she makes my heart happy. Good luck wishes are heading to Heloise and a big congrats to Tristan. "The Light Years" sounds very interesting. I will have to give it a try. Things are slowly coming to an end here. Mom is slowly slipping away from us but she is peaceful and in very little pain. I spend each day with her and I am so thankful for that opportunity.

Just know it!<br /><br />And now back to your accomplishments, Stephanie. Obviously, your children are treasures. Your embroidery and sewing translations of floral France continue to be so, so very lovely. Eglantine, or sweet briar, is a rather special doll. Her hair, her fabulous shoes, her facial expression, her marvelous clothing...well, Stephanie, you really do have unique way to combine many sources of inspiration into the creation of a beautiful little doll.<br /><br />Moving on to literary topics. I've yet to read any of Elizabeth Jane Howard's books, even after hearing about them for many, many years. Perhaps your reviewing of The Light Years will get me over to the library.<br /><br />What joy it is to visit here! xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021767487568808447.post-91403604591758284662014-06-16T01:43:02.002+02:002014-06-16T01:43:02.002+02:00What a beautiful doll.

Of course, first is 'best of luck' to your Heloise and congratulations to your violinist!<br />Lucky winners - they must be thrilled - congrats to them as well.<br />Now, Eglantine - we have several bushes here and they are in full bloom. They are such a surprise,near an old apple tree. We didn't see blossoms for years, as the deer ate every one. Now that we've fenced, we enjoy the simple, pretty blossoms. Your Eglantine is well-named in her rosy little pinafore.<br />Elizabeth Jane Howard. Wasn't she a beautiful woman and a wonderful story-teller? I have read the entire Cazlalet saga and look forward to reading All Change. When I read the Cazalet stories I escaped for hours on end - loved them all.<br />Now, a question. What is Banoffee Cheesecake? I have been very, very lazy and bought a strawberry layer cake for Fathers' Day dessert.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021767487568808447.post-61332484374468395162014-06-15T21:56:32.951+02:002014-06-15T21:56:32.951+02:00Eglatine is delightful, my fingers are crossed for...Eglatine is delightful, my fingers are crossed for Heloise, WELL DONE Tristan, congratulations to the winners and hope you banoffee pie turned out well!

Her name and complexion are as pretty as the beautiful rose she was named after! <br /><br />Just read the obituary of Elizabeth Jane Howard. I heard about her, but never actually read one of her books. Are they worthwhile? I like the quote you published above. I haven't been able to read for a long time, but lately I read some pages :-). In a month's time I will be in the UK, so perhaps I will come across one of Jane's books when there.<br /><br />Wishing good luck to Héloise on her exam! Congratulations to Tristan!<br /><br />Happy week!<br /><br />Madelief xMadeliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906326152435858221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021767487568808447.post-47640034190337753212014-06-15T14:40:30.409+02:002014-06-15T14:40:30.409+02:00I am finally here, after having seen that a new po...I am finally here, after having seen that a new post came up, only yesterday!

I simply adore your references to literature as you escort us into your garden of flowers and dolls and other fascinating artistry!
