Oh, So French

Bonsoir et ooh la la, mes amis! Despite three years of high school French, that is about all you will get from me in the way of français. The title was inspired by the Paris lingerie by Salt & Pepper for the July round of Mesh Body Addicts. This lingerie has a very nostalgic feel and is uber sexy, yet demure. The tight ponytail from TETRA out of the July Luxe Box works beautifully with the look and feel and the Orangery by Scarlet Creative, also from Luxe Box, is the ideal setting.

There was a lot more to the setting of this photo, but as is so often the case, it was lost on the cutting room floor. Had I just plopped down the build, shoved in the bench and flounced onto it, I would have gotten done a lot more quickly. But then I wouldn’t have had the luxury of feeling like a French girl for an afternoon.

C’est tellement français

A Winter’s Eve

1 A Winter's Eve sm

I’m sorry for the delay in posting the interior of the 22769 ~ [bauwerk] Little Winter Cottage (Snowtop) by Paco Pooley, available at Wayward Market Dec. 12, 2015 – Jan. 10, 2016. I just couldn’t quite get the photo to look the way I envisioned it. Two days and several hours later, here it is.

There are so many things in this room that I love – the decor, the furnishings, the puppies and the footie pajamas (although they are called Onesies by The Annex, if you’re shopping for them at Christmas on 34th Street). Many of the items come from Wayward Market and Christmas on 34th Street, so you can easily recreate this scene without having to jump all over the grid.

Be sure to check the credits for those other treasures to be found at other shops and events. You can while away your own winter’s eve.

A Winter’s Day

1 A Winter's Day sm

I feel like I’ve been on the top of Santa’s Nice List the last couple of weeks. In addition to Christmas on 34th Street opening last week, the December version of Wayward Market has just opened the gates for even more holiday shopping.

While I don’t usually take wide angle photos, when I saw the Little Winter Cottage from 22769 ~ [bauwerk], I knew I wouldn’t be able to get away with just using a room of the house in my photos. It is just so perfect! It comes in both a snow-capped an no snow version, so you can use it all year round.

I started adding landscaping and external decorations, but realised the atrium couldn’t be photographed bare. So I had to fill it up, too. Which led to another set of photos, showing the interior. I was going to blog both outside and inside today, but I decided I will dedicate a separate post to the indoors. Stay tuned for that one in the next day or two.

I tried to create a picture postcard type scene; I hope I was able to convey the spirit of the season with this shot. I wish you all the blessings of this special time of year, the joy that can be found on a winter’s day.
