MERRY XMAS!






JOYEUX NOËL!!!

To all of you who read my blog -or rather those posts that I manage to publish between life's obligations- I thank you ever so very much for being so kind, understanding and patient.
To everyone, including those of you who may happen to find my blog once in a while, those of you who generously leave encouraging and always  interesting comments, those of you who on those occasions literally make my day, I hereby extend my sincere apologies for being that blogger who is constantly MIA.  
To everyone without exception, reader of The French Eye of Design or not,  
I have this to say today:


END 2013 MAGNIFIQUEMENT!

WHAT A LITTLE COLOR CAN DO TO XMAS






NOEL AVEC UN PEU DE COULEUR.

The plastic tree came out again this year. The soft silver, beige and clear ornaments seemed just a tad too ... bland this time around. 
I wanted a little more oomph, but I was not about to start all over again. 
A few sheets of day glow stickers from the "papeterie" and the ornaments got a brand new wardrobe!
The reaction from the family went through the whole spectrum of total indifference, to "Yes, better I guess" to "Wow, cool!"
Not a box office hit but not a bomb either. Next year might be altogether different.
The Spirit of Christmas does do wonders for one's fragile ego...

au revoir.
