La Neige, Encore!

Oh comment il est doux!  Rough translation: Oh how sweet it is.  As much as I love French class, it was a welcome joy to wake up to a fresh blanket of this, how you say, "cold, white stuff on the ground," and not have to travel in for educational purposes.  So, now I sit here, perusing Etsy.com in all the splendour (yes, I spelled splendor with a "u"--English style, we're having fun now) of a warm robe and pj's all morning long!  I have found way too many beautiful craft items for my own good, going on a budgeted shopping spree!  And by budgeted, I only mean that my lack of a budget stopped me from committing PayPal suicide.  I can't wait until all these beautiful treasures arrive in the mail, so I shall show them to you now in all the excitement that is a snowy online shopping day~ (pictures are linked to their sellers)

1.   Hand-carved Macaroon Stamp

What better way to capture the essence of a Francophone than Le Macaron Française!  I have a presentation quickly approaching for le classe de Française on one French province (my chosen location is Haute-Normandie--more to come when I finish the project!) and I will be making Apple Macaroons (Macaroon du Pomme) just for the occasion.  I bought this not only to commemorate, but, in being the A+ student, I am going to decorate the napkins for serving mes camarades de classe.

     2.    Hand-Stamped French Napkin Rings


These seem like the perfect craft to do on days like this (mostly because these go over my less-than-$20 budget).  How simple, yet très chic!  I wonder how difficult it would be to make these for my hand-stamped napkins...

     3.    The first step to making my own napkin rings?  Hand-stamped French-themed paper!


This paper will be the perfect addition to my all-French virtual shopping cart!  Plus je comprends, plus que j'aime!


Hopefully you've been able to understand my semi-bilingual post today!  I will part with these words of my own:  It is not shameful to use GoogleTranslate!

Jusqu'à la prochaine fois,

Amour & petits gâteaux
