'My French Country Home' Blog.

Thought i'd leave you this French Week with a little taste of My French Country Home Blog which i discovered this week. I particularly love Sharon's French Settler week stories, of why various people moved to France and if you like traditional French Interior style then I'll think you like this one as much as me.

Possibly the most beautiful ice cream carton in France,...The World?

So i may have spent nearly 6 Euros on a carton of ice cream just to get the cute box to take home and do ...(i have no idea what yet)...BUT that choclate orange is possibly THE best ice cream i've ever had. I had some goodens so hence the 'possibly'!

Ever had a Terry's Chocolate Orange? Well this is it, melted and ice creamed up!

Vanille shpanille - its vanilla. What can you say? Good but still just vanilla. BUT super cute box!

The Frenchies are quite fond of Reglisse ice cream which i think is liquorice. I didn't pay 6 Euros to get that one as well but I probably should have judging by these beauties. Next time.

Best French Magazine: Marie Claire Maison

And i was lucky enough to be there long enough to pick up TWO issues! Here are some highlights from the Septembre edition.

The Caravanne Gallery - My favourite shop in Bayonne...ever!

A concept store for 'enfants et femme' (women and kidlets!) yay!

Cute changing room...would make a fab playhouse!

 I bought some of the Eiffel Tower fabric. To die for ( nearly)

And i REALLY wanted to take this vintage garage home. 

Damn that non existent Ryan Air baggage allowance!

The best blackboard table to amuse the kids...and husbands!

So you want to see what i bought?

I had to limit myself and my wallet to just two Jeu de Paume books. I picked kids bedrooms Paris and Stockholm. Be still my heart... but that's a whole nother post!

Seriously how freakin adorable is this? I only got one metre. Now what to do with it?

Bayonne Houses - Tres jolie

 

Love the style. Love the shutters. Love Bayonne.

The French Holiday House

 I so loved the way the shadows formed in the house.

When we stayed here last time it was an old farmhouse. Two years later its a modern architects dream...although not finished yet. The day after we left everything was being removed, including the kitchen to make way for new flooring and the builders were back for 3 months to finish off all the many things that were...well unfinished. Even in its unfinished state its a WOW house. Can't wait to see it finished. This is just a really small collection of pictures as there are so many more rooms and every bedroom has it's own balcony for star gazing.

There is a small part of me that wished parts of it were the way they were before, but i guess i just like a mix of old and new. You?
