It’s the end of the first weekend in December, and I am starting my christmas countdown here on MFCH. Three weeks of ideas for home grown christmas decorations; french christmas recipes; tablescapes and sneaky insights into the lives of some of my stylish french girlfriends and their christmas preparations.
The blog banner has changed to a very wintry scene and I have set my oh so kitsch snow falling down your screen.
Thank you all for your incredible kind and generous comments about my bark and berry decorations this week, I know I asked for some positive input :), but I wasn’t expecting such enthusiasm!
[blank]Today just a few shots of a silver tray in my entrance hall. A little moss, a couple of nightlights, mercury hearts and some antique crystal tears. It’s discreet but it still says christmas. Most of all it is all home-grown, and that is the theme I hope to follow this month.
Thank you so much for reading me. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, you are my raison d’être. You are my inspiration to write and to take photos and to blog. Thank you for every comment you leave and for every page you look at here on this little blog. I am very fortunate to have you stop by.[blank]

Yay! The snowflakes are here!
Corny, maybe, but I never tire of them, Sharon.
Thank you for making us feel so cozy and happy while reading your sweet blog.
I like that dispaly. I like natural too. I'm a first timer for the snow pictures and effescts and I love them too.
Sharon, your silver tray is so pretty! Everything is so shimmery and perfect for the season. Love the snowflakes in the header, too!
I love the photo of your beautiful maison dressed up in snow.
lovely~ and homegrown is a great theme!
Your blog looks gorgeous! The banner and your sweet candles surrounded by moss. Looking forward to more! 🙂
XO,

Love the new blog banner! The winter scene makes the house looks ethereal, with the twinkling snowflakes fluttering down. The Christmas vignette on the silver tray is beautiful. Lovely combo of vintage silver, crystal and green moss. Thank you Sharon!

Love, Love, LOVE your new header!!!! You are the very best of bloggers! I just said to my husband, my next goal is to start a blog and you are my inspiration!!! For now, my dear, enjoy this lovely festive season to the max and may you find peace in all that you do!! Barbara P.
I love the blog banner…esp. the snowing part. I wish it would snow here soon.
I love the picture of the house in snow! Silly me, I tend to think of France always sunny (or mostly), so it is just stunning (in a grand way) to see it in snow! Love the snow falling across the screen, just wonderful.
Most of all, I love your moss in the dish. What an elegant touch!! Wish I had that much, perhaps I will buy some….
I am using Mercury glass this year. I have been finding "cheap" pieces for decorating and am having so much fun with it.

Happy December, Sharon.

Love this Christmas post! I thought about you yesterday when I made your recipe for French madeleines. They were outstanding! I shared with some friends in our little Delta village and they claimed it made them feel very French just eating them! I felt the same! Can't wait for you to share your Christmas recipes!
Your new header made me give a little shriek of delight! I love the little snowflakes raining down over the snowy scene of your lovely home. I have no idea what it is to experience or live in snow. It's so Christmasy!
I love the snow you share! Does it snow much where you are? the photo of your home in the snow makes me want to run inside!! xo kim
It's hard to believe that whilst we sit here sweltering in the heat in the Southern Hemisphere summer, other people are contemplating snow… I know which one I prefer (here's a guess, it's cold, white and makes Christmas extra special!) Thank you for making it snow for us, if even just on the screen, I'm sure it's made me feel 10 degrees cooler already. Also, Loving the Christmas decs, they look great 🙂 Michelle
How wonderfully festive your new banner is! I have always longed for a white Christmas just like that… you even thought of the snowfall. I love your moss & silver paired with the pinecones- it is a beautiful combination. Happy preparations!
catier watches are pricey, and that is a fact. You need to save money as well as allot enough time for shopping for winter jackets. No matter how pretty a designer handbag is, if buying discount rolex watches will starve you through your next paycheck, it's not a good buy for you.popular christmas gifts Set your budget and stick to it. Italian omega watches for women prices range from $200 to $3000 or more. Your budget may limit your options but with Italian louis vuitton online, any price range can lead you to a fabulous piece that you can proudly wear. Similarly, time is essential to your quest for best-valued cheap hermes handbags
. Take the time to visit stores, shops, boutiques and consignment stores to browse over their cheap chanel shopping collection. This should give you enough exposure to the finer tastes of miu miu hobo, which will help you decide which one suits you best. For busy shoppers, try shopping down jackets online so you can browse as many collections as possible during your free time.
So beautiful Sharon .. I love the winter scene. Your decor is just perfect 🙂 Thanks for sharing.

Love your 'winter look'!! It may be kitsch to you, but I love the snow falling. From here in the middle of a week long heat wave of +35 deg here, it just looks deliciously cool and inviting. Looking forward to more…. Jennifer x
Beautiful vignette, Sharon. I like the idea of adding the moss to the silver dish. I'm going to do that too! ~ Sarah
Déjà la neige!
Je commence, moi aussi, cette semaine les décorations de Noël, les tiennes sont cosy à souhait!
Magnifique, romantique et juste merveilleux…Had my first winter snow last year for the first time in 40 years,just love the new heading so appropriate for the season..

Ove the new banner – it just sings Christmas Carols! and who doesn't love a few snowflakes across the page.
So pretty, I am a fan of the snowflakes.
I, also, am a fan of your header. What a beautiful home! I am new to your blog and am very happy to be here 🙂
Hi just starting following- you're blog is a delight! Charmant!
What pure joy to wake up to this morning. I noticed the falling snow immediately which was an instant smile for me. Lovely arrangement on your entry table. Thank YOU Sharon for being here!
I love the wintry scene in your header. Homegrown is what I'm doing this year, too. Your entryway scene is so pretty.
Adore the winter Banner + the snow. Happy Monday to you from overcast S. CA xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
