Just to let you know that after trying to manage three blogs, I have decided to focus on having one and trying to make it great. So I am considering closing this one....

Thank you to all of those who read me.

For Xmas I have been spoiled as I have received nice tools for my kitchen.
A beautiful rollin pin in bamboo. i already had one, but I just love the styleof this one.

A Le creuset "pan". It is sold as a Tatin mould, but I use it as a pan, I love the two handles which make it very easy to use.

A set of Opinel knives, #8 for daily use and more.

And an all purpose knife.

I am grateful for this, thanks to my dears who gifted me!

It is time for the wishes!

2010 was a smooth year, even if we had some lows, nothing was really, really bad.... Even if the year ending notes were not the best ones, it was not a terrible year.
I am not really looking forward 2011 as I already now it will be a tough year, the only thing I don't know is how much it will be hard....

May be 2011 will help me to focus on different values... I will, as always, make a good resolution list and try to keep on it.

I wish everyone a great year, being able to go through those dofficult times smoothly. I wish you Health, Happiness and Love.

Il est grand temps pour les voeux!

2010 était une année relativement calme, avec des hauts et des bas, mais rien de terriblement grave, même si la fin d'année n'était pas extra.
Je n'ai pas vraiment été impatiente d'arriver en 2011 car je sais que ce sera une année plus difficile, la seule chose que je ne sais pas encore, c'est à quelle point ce sera difficile...

Peut-être que 2011 sera l'occasion de se facaliser sur d'autres valeurs... Comme tous les ans je vais faire ma liste de résolutions et essayer de m'y tenir...

Je souhaite à tout le monde une très Bonne Année 2011, où seront présents la santé, l'amour et le bonheur.

One of the three Xmas cake I did.
This one was for Xmas Eve. I will post the two others later.
Happy New Year to Everyone.

I have chosen for myself the tweed wirral coat for its design. I plan to use it as a spring-fall coat. As I only received the product I cannot really write about it, if it will last, but I can say that their cusromer service if efficient and very friendly. I also can say that the finishing of the coat is on the high range.

Merry Christmas

XOXO

For my son...

The weather during the last two weeks have made my life pretty disorganised....
I was hoping to be able to do my Xmas Gift inspiration way before Xmas and I am running late, therefore I will post several times a day in order to try to catch up.

I have order this rubber band gun for my son. All their products are made in UK, which as you may know a main criteria for my buys.
You can discover their range on their website, shipping fees were correct, shipping time was fast and the product is really good.

Merry Christmas

XOXO
