Something French

Why is it that France is so different.
I've tried to capture the images of France in my mind.

Studied the history like Bastille Day. Even though Bastille Day is celebrated to commemorate the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789
These tired waiters depict the end of such a celebration.
At De Oude Huize we sometimes also feel like the waiters in this picture.
Being a small family establishment we some times  feel the fatigué


Watch the slim and trim french women - I am not slim and trim

Thanks to The Colorplaid for this contribution!
There is the language and the colours
Amour
dormir
Nature  
chambre 
Le souper
vin
macarons
Then there is Marie Antionette
Graphic Fairy's version 

Living in South Africa is totally different we have developed our own little piece of  France right here. 
Not French but South Africa with a touch of Provance  


Peeled paint nothing perfect.
A wonderful feel - I have been there
Linked to The French Cupboard


Candles and lanterns for natural light 


Books and something to dink during the winter months 


Carpets to enhance the ambiance


Wrought iron everywhere 


In the city you have a patio here we have a stoep!


Something out of nothing.
We could not safe this old chair.
After some chalk paint a new life against a wall started. 


These two wonderful ladies is waiting in the wings.
Will post the process. 


Till next time 
Lots of love 
Sandra

    Hola. Sandra, mi casa es una vieja panadería; en el blog hay una nueva entrada que estoy segura te gustara, aunque, la verdad es que las fotos no son muy buenas. Un besito desde Madrid. Carmen

      Dear Robin
      Thanks for your comment and glad that you enjoyed it. Hope to meet you one day.
      Lots of love from South Africa. I love you soldering items. Hope you do not mind but I will put my hand on something to mark my hot and cold taps in the bathroom.
