Hello everyone!
I hope you are entering the festive
season with your best foot forward and feeling excited by all the beautiful and
magical things these next two months have to offer us. For a brief moment, we
can dream and, why not, go back to childhood memories. After all, that’s what
Christmas is all about.
Well, returning to the news, I will not be around for these next two weeks, I will see you here
in 15 days... December is a magical month and I am looking forward to sharing some
very nice little things with you.
But before then, a little bit of
about what makes up the euphoria of Christmas. We have already been through the
initial phase: just after Halloween shop windows abandon their frightening
decorations to make way for “Santa Claus & Co.”
In the streets, huge Christmas trees
are starting to pop up and the shopping centres and stores compete with each
other with their beautiful Christmas decorations.
I lose myself in these Christmas
things. I have already bought a gift for myself and for Sweetheart in the first
week of November! I must say that it was love at first sight; it was exactly
what I wanted, but I did not think I would find it. I love it when that
happens, it is a sign of a well spent day and a mission fulfilled.
I have also bought some Christmas
chocolates, some “pain d’épices fourrés aux noisettes” (gingerbread filled with
hazelnuts) and the star of Italian Christmas puddings, a panettone. This Christmas
we will spoil ourselves with a “panettone marrons glacés et raisins” (panettone
with glazed chestnuts and raisins). In case you want to get beautiful ones, pay
a visit to the Terra Nossa Italian restaurant and grocery shop (Rue
Jean-Violette 8 in the Plainpalais neighbourhood). You will lose your head over
their extraordinary tasty homemade panettone, specially delivered from Italia….
Hmm, I can’t wait to taste it…
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention
to you a cute decoration and stationery shop L'Échappéé Belle situated in
Carouge at 1 Rue Saint-Victor.
Now, I leave you and I hope you have
enjoyed this post. So, see you in 15 days...
Lots of love
Everything is absolutely gorgeous and heartwarming! J'ai bien aime cette publication, merci beaucoup! Enjoy your time! :)

ReplyDeleteMa chère Chantal, je suis contente que tu aies aimé ce post. Eh bien... Quant aux photos, j'essaie de m'améliorer en trouvant des moyens faciles d'améliorer mes compétences en photo sans assister à des cours ou acheter des livres. Merci beaucoup et t'embrasse.
DeleteO Natal já anda no ar, gostei bastante de ver estas decorações e ver que as lojas já estão também preparadas para receber o Natal.

DeleteOlá, minha querida!
ReplyDeleteAinda bem k falas e escreves em Português, pke sempre é mais fácil o diálogo (provavelmente, até és portuguesa).
Percebi, razoavelmente a tua publicação, e como bem dizes: já quase estás/estamos a ouvir/escutar o "Jingle Bells".
É tudo tão mágico, tão belo nesta época, a mais bonita do ano, acho eu. Deveria, no entanto, acontecer em tempo mais quente, como no HS, mas, se calhar, assim, lembra lareira, acolhimento, família, reunião, partilha e doação. Pois, é mais IN.
Já comi com os olhos as fotos. Agora, "paciência" (rs)!
Kisses and a good week.
Seja muito bem vinda ao meu blogue Céu. Não sou portuguesa mas conheço a sua língua e adoro Portugal. Sim, a Céu percebeu muito bem o conteúdo do texto. É verdade que tudo é tão mágico nesta época, a mais bonita do ano.
DeleteMuito obrigada Céu pelas suas palavras carinhosas e espero que passe mais vezes por aqui. Beijinhos :)
This is so beautiful <3 I love the pictures and I wish you a wonderful time! Kisses :-*
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Paulina. See you soon.
DeleteYou must be on some new travels, right? Well these Christmas decorations are beautiful and you've gotten me into the holiday spirit just by posting them. Thank you! Enjoy your time away.
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad to hear that I got you into the spirit of Christmas. See you soon, Susan.
DeleteI'm a lover of CHristmas time. So adorable and magic moments!!!! Have a nice day, kisses (and thank you for your visit),
