 Le Train Fantôme

Well, I don't know about you, but I'm having a wonderful weekend.

The Mediterranean sun has been shining brightly, my kids spoiled me rotten for Mother's Day and I had a wonderful time at the flea market in Montpellier this morning. Everyone's relaxed here, enjoying Summer before it's time and feeling happy and grateful to live in such a beautiful part of the world.

Voilà ! Enough said...

Lots of lovely little birdies around at the moment. Ann Wood and Tamar Mogendorff are obvious favourites - so amazingly talented and inspirational - but I also found these little beauties in the UK last week. Cotton Bird Designs crafts fabric and paper birds, wedding cake toppers, flowers and other textile pieces using recycled or vintage materials such as maps, music paper and lace. I love these little fellows, available here.
