Hello and welcome!

I live in Montreal, Quebec, and my first language is French.

May I insist on the fact that I love getting comments?

The Canadian Thanksgiving is here!

Even though as I've said before, we people of French ancestry don't tend to really celebrate it as such. But it's still a long weekend!

And it will be a busy one. Tomorrow is my last wedding flower gig this year: the Alice in Wonderland tea party-inspired celebration! I'm so excited about it, you have no idea. Other than a wonderful carnation bouquet and a lot of boutonnieres, I have more than 20 centerpieces to make in tea pots, tea cups, tin canisters, pitchers, sugar and cream serving pieces, etc.

The next day, we also have a very fancy brunch in honor of the people I call my honorary grandparents (my stepmom's parents), who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary a few months ago. This will probably be the last time I see them, and my dad and stepmom, before the baby comes...

Then Monday, we'll rest and work on ongoing project nursery/basement and playroom organizing.


I'll have pictures of the wedding on Tuesday, but meanwhile, here were a few I put in my inspiration folder. Have a good weekend!

I love your flowers :)

I read Peonies blog today, and remembered how you once asked for English children's book. It made me think of my favourites, some of which I may have already told you:

Robert Munsch (I love you forever, Murmel Murmel, I gotta go, Millicent & The Wind, A deal's a deal, The Paper Bag Princess, and anything else!)
James & The Giant Peach
Charlotte's Web
Anne of Green Gables

Anyway, those were some of my favourites. I let you know as I think of others! :)
