People! With just seven entries to the Puttery Treats Challenge at close of play I am possessed by the urge to extend the deadline to next Tuesday the 20th of November and to throw in Mrs Beetons Board Game and some to die for Rose Creams to an already scumptious box of Brocante treats…
Create your own Brocante Life Book, plan Christmas, set up routines and rituals or live life the BrocanteHome way with my guided workbooks and planners.
Even if you can’t shape your life the way you want, at least try as much as you can not to degrade it by too much contact with the world, by too much activity and talk. Do not degrade it by dragging…
[vimeo url=”http://vimeo.com/7571106″ width=”560″ title=”0″ fs=”0″ portrait=”0″] Because it is Tuesday night in cold, dark November and maybe, like me, you could use a little romance? So warm some milk, melt some white chocolate into it, and sprinkle with cinnamon, then sit…
How It Will Happen, When There you are, exhausted from another night of crying, curled up on the couch, the floor, at the foot of the bed, anywhere you fall you fall down crying, half amazed at what the body is capable…
Oh my. Haunting and beautifully described by Ray Caesar using a method that frankly flummoxes me but ultimately delivers art of such deviant ethereal beauty it takes my breath away. I do so adore spooky little girlwomen. And roses. Oh how I…
“Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o’clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap…” Barbara Jordon Other Things To Do At BrocanteHome Browse…
I am so looking forward to this book. Sarah Moore is a vintage genius and I have loved her work for Country Living… Due out on April 25th, the sneak peeks inside the book promise all kinds of vintage pretties and accessible…

But my brain hurts…… I don't even know how to create links and stuff – doh! Though the prizes sound SO tempting to try and understand the question…
1. Empty food pantry 2. Remove shelves 3. Paint pantry a soft shade of pink, blue, green or ivory. 4. Replace shelves. 5. Put up wallpaper border of choice. 6. Put coordinating wallpaper or shelf paper on shelves. 7. Replace hideously ugly plastic food containers with glass or ceramic jars, attractively labeled. 8. Replace jars on shelves. If you're really nuts, do it in alphabetical order. 9. Use pantry as a placebo: I am neat! I am tidy! I am organized! Martha Stewart, eat your heart out!
Oh, I just found this challenge last weekend and had picked one out to enter, but time got away from me. I will definitely be entering now that I have a few days of reprieve. I'll have to go back and see if I can figure out exactly how I'm supposed to let you know about the entry.
Don't worry, the links aren't as hard as you think. Open an extra internet window, and when you want to put a link to Brocante Home, use your spare internet screen to go to Brocante Home, then click on the web address, highlight it, copy it and paste it into your post. Then, when you have finished your post, click on the title of your post, then copy and paste that weblink into your comment that you leave on Alisons Puttery Treats Challenge post…..hope this isn't clear as mud!
I really wanted to enter. I got started, but the results struck me as so banal and commonplace, I figured I'd spare myself the embarrassment. Good luck to everyone who is giving it a go. That Mrs Beaton game is beautiful!
