Snow and a pinkish touch

 

Am I glad that I planted the bulbs last week.

And those little hints of spring from last Monday?

I hope they will survive the 'truckloads' of snow that have been falling lately, because this is what it looks like outside since Tuesday:

 

 

A winter wonderland!!

 



 

 

 

Last weekend I wanted to bake something but didn't want to spend too much time in the kitchen.

Surfing the net, I found these oreos on the blog of Fraulein Klein

Shop bought oreos and a homemade filling, I added a bit of pink food colouring too as we had some guests who would appreciate a pinkish touch :)

You can find the recipe here

 

They disappeared in no time...

 

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend filled with sunshine & snow...

... & some skating maybe?

 



Colourful!

Just a quick post to let you know that I'm busy this week... busy with the organisation of the International Day at school... an yearly event, full of fun, food & friendship.

That's why I leave you today with some pictures of my terrace (I just can't get enough of the it... it's still such a wonderful weather in Versailles so we do enjoy our garden/terrace to the fullest!).

These little flowers (dorotheanthus bellidiformis) are so adorable, they love the sun and they open every day and close again at night time.

Just take away the old flowers from time to time and you can enjoy them all summer long!

Have a look in your garden center, they are such a happy flower!!

 

I wish you all a happy & colourful week!

Bisous, 

Old & New!

Almost two weeks gone on holiday and the garden has died... well, that's a bit exaggerated, but all the plants in the vases had died, just the Astilbe and some Violets survived the 2 weeks without water, without rain I have to say, which is very uncommon here...

It looked very depressing, like in the picture above :(

The good thing is that I could go to the garden center again and buy all new!

Hot pink Geraniums, soft grey Lavender, the Butterfly Lavender and some dark pink Oleander.

Can't wait for it all to start blooming!

Still not finished, still work to do.

So I leave you now & wish you all a sunny week!

Bisous,

P.S. There's still time to join my give-away:

the 'Marie Claire Idées' 20th birthday issue AND some French goodies to win!
