La Saint-Valentin
source Happy Valentine’s Day my lovely, love loves! How are we this morning/ afternoon/ evening? Me… feeling full of l’amour surprised The Husband with breakfast this morning… heart-shaped eggs in a basket (like in Carey’s photo above, but not nearly as pretty) and a big ol’ cuppa Barry’s Tea. And as soon as I hit…

Toulon: a photo essay
WHEW! Guess what I just figured out? In my advancing age, it now takes me two whole nights to recover from one night out. No longer can I shake my bonbon on the dance floor until 5AM, sleep for three hours, and wake-up feeling normal with a spring in my step. Nope, I can’t, those…

Veille du Jour de l'An
{Papa aka Ed Asner, Brother-in-Law in his special ‘Gap’ sweater, and The Husband, who I swear is not actually a giant} Disclosure: This post is about my New Year’s Eve, and more specifically, my New Year’s Eve dinner.

let them eat cake
King’s Cake that is (or La galette des Rois as it’s known en français). La galette des Rois (which I had last year and the year before that, and the year before that, but I don’t think I blogged about it, but honestly I don’t remember, so if any of you remember me writing a post about…

Anatomy of a Christmas Tree
Now that you’ve seen Papa’s Crèche (but I have to confess, and as shocking as it may sound since you saw both a hunter and a fisherman hanging out in that thing, that you didn’t get to see all of it), lets take a closer look at mon petit sapin de Noël. See how that Joyeux Noël hanging…

wrap it all up with a bow
++ Nicola from Growing Berries sent me this pillow. Isn’t it the cutest thing? The LPV has been immortalized in the coziest way. I love my Le Petit Village pillow! ++ My mother arrived safe and sound yesterday. I was too lazy to cook (plus I figured that after a flight from Texas to Chicago…

Mon Petit Sapin de Noël
This is my fourth Christmas as a Le Petit Villager. The fourth! Me, I can hardly believe it. But even though it’s the fourth, it’s the first one that we’re staying put, and since we’re finally staying put for the holiday, we finally got a tree. (My first year here we got Fifty instead of…

Raclette Season
Well it’s official, winter is here. OK, I’m sure you’re thinking to yourself, “now hold your horses Sara Louise, winter doesn’t start until December 21st” and you would be right, except in Le Petit Village (and the Southern Hemisphere of course). Here in The LPV winter starts when the Raclette starts and the first Raclette…
