la guerre des étoiles
(This post is brought to you in part by Aidan and Samantha, who through comments on this post, reminded me of what a total weirdo The Husband is). Some of the fun of being married (or dating or involved with or what have you) to someone who is from someplace far away from where you’re […]

Saturdays with Gypsies
Did you know that you can fit nine adults in a caravan for afternoon coffee? With three children running in and out of it too. Well you can. And I’m not talking about one of those modern super sleek airstream things either. And did you know that Gypsies (my Gypsies anyway) speak loudly? Well they do. […]

even more style
A thousand thanks to Biscuit from And They Lived Happily Ever After. Biscuit has kindly passing on this award to me. And can I say, I love the name of Biscuit’s blog. I’m going to let you in on a little secret, every time I make a wish for something, like blowing candles out, or throwing a penny […]

A Brazilian Holiday
No, The Husband and I aren’t headed to Brazil, but me and all of you are taking a little trip down south (way down south) to Rio via American expat Rachel from Rachel’s Rantings in Rio de Janeiro. Since Brazil’s summer is in full swing, I thought it would be nice for all of us […]

I’ll be posting a little piece of Le Petit Village your way. On a […]

dull dull dull
{Le Petit Village in hibernation} I don’t know what the deal is around here but there is nothing to report at all (except of course the disappearance of two plastic ducks and all my family china being broken… and you’ll be happy to know that Operation Superglue is coming along nicely). Maybe it’s because January […]

Pinky & Blue
{random} What can one say about Pinky and Blue? Sure they were a couple of plastic ducks living in Le Petit Village, but there has to be more to say than that. Maybe how they showed up unexpectedly, brightening up an otherwise boring and dreary day and my walk with Fifty. How they sat quietly and contently […]

raindrops on roses
And whiskers on kittens… you can’t really think of that without it putting you in a good mood, can you? It’s impossible to fight the cheeriness. Julie Andrews. Bless. Super glam, Mama, at Fabulous! (pasta not included) has asked me about some of my favorite things. And since I’ve been awake since 5am on this Sunday […]

honey giveaway
Yes it’s true, I’m hosting a giveaway. And it’s a Honey Jr giveaway. Well I’m not giving away him per se, but some of his candles (I wonder how many entries I’d get if I gave away Honey Jr?). {adorable honeyness} Honey Jr has made beeswax candles with his own two honey hands and has […]

shattered
Normally I like to keep Le Petit Village a happy-go-lucky kind of place, but I’m feeling shattered and broken and I can’t think happy thoughts. Over the holidays I had the last of my things shipped from Dublin; mostly Waterford and china, wedding presents and family heirlooms. Almost all now broken, just like I feel. […]
