The Little French Hen is a new blog. It was developed to learn more about the French culture and life-style of the French people. I want to incorporate this design in color and style into my own home with projects and look for DIY"s where I could do that, sharing with others and them with me. I wanted to know what makes the people and their fashion sense so unique. What's at the root of their uniqueness? I felt I had a lot to learn, so like any good researcher I set out on a journey to learn more about the people, the places and the life-style.
French farm country? Vintage, rustic, shabby chic? or the grand manor? At first I was so confused about what the social media was calling French style. As I researched for various items I noticed a gap leaping through furniture. Some labeled French farm country, others were called shabby chic or vintage and still others were categorized as elegant and stately French mansions. So which was it? It is all of them. Ask yourself what makes you happy?
I found what pleases me the most is the vintage or shabby chic. Here's an example of some vintage.
Go to: www.ginasdesigns.blogspot.com you will find this full size page for your use----try them in mason jars wrapped with a jute thread around the lid or mouth of the jar ---or wrap them with thread and ribbon and add them to a cute bowl of fabric and sewing notions. (I like my French accents to have a vintage or shabby chic style, or so I discovered!)
There is no perfectly, perfect single style preference, it is all about what you like!
I love violets. They are a simple statement of color and unpretentious beauty. They might bloom in a fancy pot or thrive out in the wild under an old wooden barrel. Wherever they bloom they make the world a more beautiful place.
I'd like to think that's the journey I'm on---
One that allows me to be free to choose what I like and share with others who find beauty in it too!
I am new at this journey so if you have your own ideas, a web site, or link you'd care to share, just write them in the comment section below. I'd love to read them.
Merci, Gloria
