Friday is my day: La Marquise des Anges

Jaa
Today we will head to sunny and beautiful France and meet beautiful Sabine from lamarquisedesanges.etsy.com
She has a lovely little French boutique full of pretty things; embellished T-shirts, jewellery,accessories and house decorations. Enjoy your day!

CHAMPAGNE embellished women tee shirt size S, M, L , XL or XXL

around 7 am . the day is starting and I wake up calmly in my beloved bedroom . Not alarm clock for me. The moment my eyes are open and my feet are on the floor I am totally awake and ready for the day to come. I first open the fences and I grab my soft long cardigan , and my slippers, right in front of my bed. I go straight to the living room to say hello to my furry companions, to open the fences and to put some wood in the fireplace. I then kiss my sweet husband goodbye.
around 7.30 Then it is time to go to the bathroom. It is one of my very favorite place in the house. We moved in our "nest" more than one year ago and we have been working pretty hard to arrange. There is still a,lot to do . We have totally redone the bathroom from the floor to the ceiling. We made everything by ourself and we are very happy with the result . we wanted something peaceful...quiet.
After a shower , some make up , here what I look like :
Around 8.15 am . back to the kitchen-living-room - dining room (it is an open space). I already start cleaning and to tidy things around me while the water (for my tea) is boiling, and the bread is in the toaster (I LOVE toasted bread smell) . This is what my typical breakfast is : very hot tea, toasted bread or brioche with butter from Normandie and jam. I eat while watching the news.I have to resist from the temptation to swithc on the laptop but I make a pioint of honor to enjoy my breakfast to be in a good shape to start up the day.
now it is time to check emails, orders, messages more attentively. I just deal with the urgence and set up a priority list (in my head). time for some housecleaning. If things are not arrange and clean around me I can't really feel comfortable doing anything else. now it is time to spend some time on my emails, on twitter on the forums...
I finish packing the orders that have to be send today and get ready to go to the post office .
Then I drove to my suppliers to get the materials I need for the completed transaction I have had and to work on the new design I have in my head.
Friday is also the day I visit one of my favorite vintage place . here what I got today .
11.50 am I am taking HIRO my beloved border collie for his daily dogwalk. sometimes we just walk in the neighborhood but as I can't unleash him, I really prefer going in lovely places in the countryside. the good point is I don't have to go very far. as this lovely little village : we walk and play a little and we practise exercises too. This moment is very important and is a perfect way to make a break to a non stop day.

back home in time to check my mailbox : one of my favorite moment .
lunch time with a slice of quiche and some salad from my Father in law 's garden and a piece of cake . I baked them yesterday's evening as we had guests at home.
I always try to make all the things that took me out during the morning; so that I don't have to move again and I am more productive. I will now be sewing and working , working working.... from now on to 7 pm.
the ligh was pretty today I had some time to make a little photo shoot session for the upcoming euro week
around 5 pm. I just take little snack break : fruit. today it will be an apple.
I start fixing dinner around 7 pm while taking care of the internet aspect of my shop. Once my beloved JP is home we share a little one to one moment drinking a glass of rosé in front of the fireplace, chating about the day . After dinner, we finish preparing together we watch TV on the sofa, with the 3 four legged companions. I most of the time sew several hours, or work on blog post , advertising campaigns ...
around midnight to 1.00 am then I love reading a little bit before sleeping, as I need to calm down with the energy and passion I feel in my veins ....reading is a hobby since I am a little girl and it always manage to calm me down... I feel so well in my lovely bedroom, my husband reading by my side too.
good night ...
