Many thanks for all your support, kind words and contributions over the past year, it's been a challenging time for us all.

Week 51 2020
Hello!
Are you Christmas ready? I love this wooden tree. They are made by our neighbour down the road in Micouleau. He's making them himself, so if you drive past his house you'll see them available for sale, or contact me for details. #shoplocal
I'll be holding the fort in the boutique in Sauveterre on Saturday, for any last minute gifts, and there's a few other Christmas markets springing up this weekend.
Whatever you do in the Gironde or Dordogne regions, keep safe and well in the run up to Christmas.
Best wishes,
Helen

Week 50 2020
Hello!
Christmas lights are brightening up the world around us. The square is Sauveterre has a blanket of lights, with a sparkling centrepiece suspended over the middle of the place. Every time I see it it makes me smile!
There are Christmas markets popping up all around, so think local, think artisan and we can keep our small local businesses active!
Take care and be safe in the Gironde and Dordogne regions,
Best wishes,
Helen

Week 49 2020
Hello!
I'm delighted to be part of the 16th Christmas Market at Chateau Font Vidal. Set in the countryside outside Juillac, you are away from the crowds of people and you can shop in safety - all the usual health protocols are in place. Open daily from 5th - 20th December it's full of gift ideas, and you can stock up on wine too!
Whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, keep safe and well.
Best wishes,
Helen

And finally...
I've been busy making for Christmas. These wine coolers and tealights will only be available at Chateau Font Vidal.
I'm also putting together a 'Betwixmas' calendar of family workshops. With the family all together, discover a new skill and work together on a group project. Imagine making a family chess set, or mobile, or clay family portrait... the choices are limited to the imagination. Watch this space, or get in touch - 06 30 89 85 36
