C'est magnifique!

C'est vrai! This magazine has, over the years, had me traipsing around London (the only stockist I now know of is Selfridges), calling up various large bookstores (lots of spelling over the phone involved) and begging friends who pop over to France to bring me back a memento. And the fact that it isn't monthly, makes it all the more precious. My lovely sister ever so kindly got me a subscription for my birthday. And the first arrived today. Rather unexpectedly because I had ever so slightly forgotten about it.

The Winter issue can only mean one thing - Christmas and...knitting.

Knitted chandeliers...
Chairs
And a bird box - naturally.
I have fallen in love with these little birds. They'd be perfect for Miss L's forthcoming nuptials - although 80 of them might be a bit of a stretch...but oh so memorable.
Happy days. Merci beaucoup, petite soeur. x

  1. Yes I love this magazine! Only discovered it when my Dad brought back a copy when he'd been over there at his house. He's now under strict instructions when he goes over there to gather me up copies!

  4. Oh you're so lucky! I was able to get a couple of copies when I went to France on holiday this summer, managed to get the summer and autumn editions - would love to see the xmas one though!

  5. Oooh fab. Hopefully I'll get a peep at Tracy's on Wednesday, as she has a subscription, too. I just wish I could speak French...! K x

  6. Oh, I love that birdbox!
    I often find that subscriptions to magazines are a great gift, and one that lasts all year long.

    I've never seen this before and it looks ace.

    If only Borders hadn't closed down I might have found it there...

  9. oh, that issue looks lovely! i bought a copy in october in Paris after seeing it on your blog, i loved it, couldn't understand a thing, but the pictures are so beautiful and inspiring that i didn't mind a bit - plus it made me feel like a local sat on the metro 'reading' my french magazine!
