While half Europe is still covered in fog, you can find me at the Inner Interior today. The lovely Jocelyn asked me to style a vignette for her brand new series called the Voice of a Vignette. Merci Jocelyn! You may also want to check out Jocelyn's instagram, where she shares many pictures of her Read article…

la Baie de Somme
Like everyone else we spent this super sunny weekend outside. Our goal was to walk 15km in the Baie de Somme, France's largest estuary in the North East of the Picardy department. From our home it's the fastest shortcut to the sea, just what you need when the sun is out! The light was particularly Read article…
Sunbathing Hellebores
Flowerblog or not, I made these photos for my mom because she loves Hellebores and I love her. ♥
Snowdrops
Not long now until my blog turns into a flower blog. I can't help myself with the many bulbs and spring flowers that are popping up! On our sunday walk through the mud, we passed by this field of snowdrops. I think it's the first time I saw them in the wild! In French snowdrops Read article…
Forsythia at Studio Sapique
The other day I took a break from work and this is what it looked like: spring! The forsythia is blooming and the winter sun was just warm enough. Bliss! I hoped to show you the result of my little painting project today, but that will have to wait. The paint looked great in the Read article…
2 Anemone girls

And it's also very nice to see all the other contributions on Pinterest. As you can see above, our cats are never far when I Read article…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #6
I'm very happy that it's that time of the month again: today Igor and I are hosting our 6th episode of the Urban Jungle Bloggers adventure! February's theme gave us a bit of homework… but it's the best homework you can ask for: play around with greens! Our mission was to choose 1 plant and Read article…
Spring at Merci Paris
With a new Urban Jungle Bloggers challenge launching tomorrow, I currently watch the world through my urban jungle glasses (even though they're pink…). I see greens everywhere. I'm so very ready for spring, especially when it's cloudy and grey like this week in Paris. The other day I spotted these springy branches at Merci. I Read article…
Sucker for cacti
I'm a such a sucker for true love, happy couples and real love stories. And even though I like hearts, chocolate, wine and candle light dinners (in no particular order) and have a very sweet husband, I've never ever celebrated Valentine's day. Today won't be an exception, but I couldn't help but make this little Read article…
Rock ‘n Rucola
Secretly I hope the Winter King will forget about France and that we'll head straight from fall into spring. I can't wait to get my hards dirty and prepare a little vegetable garden and take my plants out of their winter storage into the greenhouse. In 5 to 8 weeks I hope to harvest my Read article…
