Christmas Break in France

Hey peeps! As promised, I thought I would share the nice break me and my bearded man had during the Christmas holidays with my whole family. Loads of precious memories :)

One of the first things we did is head into Nantes to check out the Christmas market. We definitely enjoyed our warm spiced beverages in this crisp cold weather! I love Passage Pommeraye, and because it's been renovated recently we had to visit and brave the hordes of Christmas shoppers to snap some photos and look at the window displays. Paroisse Notre-Dame was also a must-see.

After the craziness of three Christmas dinners with my family, we decided that a karting session would be quite fun (and also a good way to burn some calories!).

One quiet day, the sun was out and we all wanted some fresh air, so we visited the little town of Pornic and I have to say that it looked stunning! Everything was very still and just beautiful.

The weather decided to stay sunny for a couple more days so we made sure to make the most of it. My parents had some tickets for the new amazing Caroussel so we all enjoyed a walk around the docks before having a ride on one of these unique mechanical creatures made of wood and recycled metal. It was such a great experience! I definitely recommend it if you're around Nantes. And to finish the day, we visited the grand Cathédrale St Pierre where I found a really cool illustration (actually I don't remember much of the rest haha)!

It was hard to go back to reality to be honest, but I can't wait to work on some new exciting projects!

Portfolio Update #12 - Christmas Cards

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all have a great one! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing my family, having a relaxing time and eating loads of amazing food.

I created these Christmas cards for my friends and family and I decided to send them by post to be a bit more traditionnal. Plus, how nice is it to receive a personnalised Christmas card in your letterbox? Nothing beats the excitment of nice mail :)

Right, I'm off now until the beginning of January, but don't worry, I've got a sweet January wallpaper ready for you!

Giveaway - Free 2015 Calendar!

Better late than never right? I wanted to do something a bit more special for the end of the year, and I thought that a downloadable calendar would be quite useful and look pretty on your wall! I've hand-painted each pattern myself and even if the process was quite long, I thoroughly enjoyed getting my hands on some paint to create playful and colourful patterns!

DOWNLOAD THE PDF HERE!

The calendar is an A4 format so it's handy for you to print. I've printed mine onto some thick uncoated paper as it's then thick enough to hang on the wall.

Enjoy! Hope it helps you make the most of the new year :)

Wandering - Betws-y-Coed Christmas Market

Hey everyone! How you doing? Any of you doing your Christmas shopping? As you might know, I'd already done mine by the end of November... But it doesn't stop me from enjoying the sights of a nice Christmas market! Even more if it's the one in Betws-y-Coed as I absolutely love the place.

Only thing is... There wasn't really a market. Even though it was quite nice to have a stroll around the town with all the Christmas decorations and visit the local shops with their traditional Christmas gifts, we were a bit disappointed to not see a proper market. We were looking forward to the nice stands offering mulled wine and other yummy treats! Oh well, it was still a nice day, and I snapped the best photo in the world with a grumpy bearded snowman!
