Mr FF thinks that I have lost the plot as all he hears at present is the word "Christmas".....
I am currently sourcing for Christmas 2010, hence there are Christmas catalogues all over our dining room table.
I have tried telling him that it is common in New Zealand and Australia to celebrate Christmas twice, once in mid-winter and again in December but it is all a bit foreign to him being an Englishman living in France. He is still a bit wary of us antipodeans.....
So if anyone is looking for decorations, you know where to come. I have some fabulous Petit Coterie stockings and lots of other goodies in the Fabulously French Christmas section.
Now where was I? I remember, looking for fabulous angels to go on the top of the Christmas tree.....
A tres bientot,

It's always the right time for Christmas! And you're not alone:
Rhoda Perrins (the editor of Country Homes and Interiors) is posting Christmas objects on her blog since she's preparing the Christmas issue!!!
Have a good evening my darling,

I told my husband I would be really good about not spending money but i love the advent calendar! Such cute items you have!
I adore Christmas !!! I've already made a start on some cards and decorations too and even some etchings :o) Lovely blog x
Yes, I totally understand, I've been "doing Christmas" for a few months now, to the dismay of Mr. FgH...since it's been all about the holidays lately. Next month, a full on Holiday Photo Shoot for a magazine. Oh, how he'll mutter about that! :) Have fun!

I love those little pots!

I can't think about Christmas just yet. I'm just starting to enjoy the hot weather we're having and hoping it's not going to end just yet.
I definitely know where to come though for Christmas goodies.

I love that Idea soooo much! I with we celebrated Christmas twice a year in the United States!
It seems so lovely to do! :)
Christmas is nearer than it seems.... And thinking of it makes me feel less hot!
Bisous xx
ANY excuse to look at Christmas decorations is a good one in my book - and to celebrate it twice? - well that's just my idea of heaven!

What a great idea! You blog is just beautiful! I am a new follower of yours! I am looking forward to your posts. *hugs*
oohhh! Beautiful Image! xxx
I will definitely be having a look. I have a small obsession with Christmas! Thank you for your lovely comment about grandmothers. I'm so sorry to hear that yours is not well. It must be awful being so far away. I hope she feels better soon.. Enjoy your Christmas in July..Rachaelxx
I am with your husband on this one "Lost the Plot" and about celebrating christmas twice not sure on that one.... but then I do live in the UK. Why is it foreign to your husband, how many other places celebrate twice?
I am new to your site and happy to become the 943 follower. I love Christmas ~ fun to have a little peek of it in the middle of summer.
I look forward to more visits.
Fondly,
Glenda
Bonjour Leeann,
We have often had a Midwinter Christmas Party/dinner... I think, because it makes a change in the dark and cold of winter.
I will go and take a peek at your decorations.
Not long now until Christmas- Eek!
Hugs

When I first heard about this idea I thought it was rather strange as an English girl in Oz but you know what - this year I think I am going to embrace it and cook a Turkey dinner! The weather in Melbourne is right too!! Love the little cute pails decoration. x
Hi Leeann,
Those Christmas Decorations are just gorgeous. I have been thinking about a Christmas in July party...but I have a feeling this year it will be just that, thoughts :)
What I wanted to say was "Congratulations" as you are Vintage by Lou Lou's give away winner this week :)
If you can email your address details through to vintagebyloulou@live.com I will be able to post your gift certificate out for you.
Enjoy searching for the perfect angel xx

I am in the middle of organising my annual "Christmas In July" luncheon so thank you for telling all about your Christmas section! How exciting!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Oh I LOVE Christmas in July:) We used to go to a fabulous art deco hotel in the Blue Mountains every year for their wonderful xmas in July...now we do our own at home :) I have to go and check out your Christmas section Leeann!! Hope you are having a wonderful week ~ Tina x
Hi - thank you so much for your very kind comments over at my place on the web - what a fabulous life you have in France... do you get pangs for home? I love your Christmas advent pots and yes tell your husband we are having 'Christmas in July' dinner at a friend's next weekend. I spent long enough in the UK to know that antipodeans are a very odd bunch! I look forward to enjoying your posts and I'll try and give you a little taste of home! Ann x
Nothing wrong with that...wish everyday could be like Christmas!!! All the best,Chrissy
Oh Christmas in July is great, what a wonderful tradition!! ENJOY!!
Thinking of Christmas at any time is a good thing. How tremendous to sit and scour through the catalogs. A girls dream!
Cheers ~
One of the best things about being an Aussie or New Zealander is the opportunity to celebrate Christmas twice. Once in December at the beach and a traditional winter one in July.
Oh YES!
I'm in New Zealand and we were invited to a magical MID WINTER CHRISTMAS DINNER last weekend.
We had all the Christmas food and some!
Must have a look in the shoppe as I usually buy one fabulous new decoration each year!
Christmas twice a year?!? How lucky. If only Starbucks had their peppermint mocha in July, too. :)
