Speaking of France...I was wondering... it would be nice if each of you ,if you are happy to do so, could prepare a little something to show us what France is to you.If you want to make a picture or just leave a comment that I could post here, or something French in your mini house or...I don't know...anything!
What is France to you?
Just let me know here on this post that you've done something on your blog and I will post it here with a link to your blog.
It would be a nice tribute to Artycho and I who are no longer living in our country.
Meanwhile let's meditate , think, concentrate and meet here once we are ready...
I will add what you have prepared as we go along, here on this post, until the 25th of January.
Let tHe paRty bEgiN!

Mercedès has prepared a beautiful post about France on her blog.I just couldn't decide which picture to choose!On the photo below what you see are delightful miniatures!
The participant below is EVA from Mini Escenas y Manualidades who lives close to France and has prepared a post full of pictures from Languedoc .If you don't know this region (I've never been there to be honest!), the photos she has posted just make you want to go.
"...I have no idea if any of the things that pop into my head are close to being accurate..." says my sweet Kim, but do you want to know what were those things that suddenly popped into her head? It is a post full of tenderness at FLOWERS & ART

May I join it ,even though I'm Italian ? A small contribution, what France means to an Italian. Rosanna
I am sure you will soon have 100 more- people are drawn to your magic :)
Congratulations on 100 followers- I am thinking all this weekend on what France is to me and I will post something next week. I must consider this carefully since I have never visited France.
Congratulations on your followers,
I love to read you.

A warm greeting from a "neighboring" Spanish, Sonia
What France means to me: being made to stand at the airport in Paris on our way to England when I was one because my mum had too many bags to carry (only trip to France as a child and this one I don't remember), two wonderful visits to Paris as a adult (including looking in a doll shop), French motorways whilst travelling to Germany (and St Malo) and enjoying the delicious food on the way and the smoothness of the road surface compared to British motorways, a lovely afternoon on the beach near Calais with my family, a glorious 10 days caravanning at St Malo, 1 night at Dijon... one day soon we will return to enjoy France again.
Félicitations !
Je vais réfléchir à ce qu'est la France pour moi pour répondre à ta super idée. Bon, il va falloir que je réfléchisse très fort, car quand on vit dans son pays, "we take things for granted".
Bises
Geneviève
Oh la la! Merci pour ce clin d'oeil frenchy! Aux delà des clichés (comme oh la la justement!)j'adorerais lire la visions de la France de tes lectrices! Chouette idée! Aussi, ravie d'être ton 100ème abonné!
Félicitations à Artycho !!!
Pour moi, en vrac, brut de pomme, ça serait... le café noir du matin boulevard Saint-Germain, la baguette chaude et croustillante, les vendeurs de journaux à la criée, Jean-Paul Gaultier, et les pâtisseries de chez Hermé, Ladurée, Angelina... bien sûr :)))
Beau week-end et gros bisous :)
Great idea! My heart goes faster when I think about France.
I am building a dollhouse inspired by an old coastal cottage in France. There are many photos of French Half Timber buildings and others on the blog. I took many of the photos on a trip I made to Normandy and Paris 2 summers ago. Also you can see things such a post where I am creating in miniature the type of old window latches found in France. http://karincorbin.blogspot.com/2009/11/window-latches.html
May I particpate? Being French and living in France, I everyday enjoy my country. For me France is so diverse... I'll put some pictures on my blog of 3 miniatures I've made: one is Paris'roofs, one is Provence and the last one a little house in the countryside. Hope you'll enjoy my "vision" of France!

Hallo, I've done my post. I hope you'll like it.Good night and "see" you soon Rosanna
France for me is about romance, art, wine, beauty , fashion, fine design, archtecture, history, literature, music,joie de vivre, "strength of knowing whom each individual is", fine food and all that is so very fine, exceptional and lovely!!.., "She" holds a romantic allure in my mind, like no other European country!!.., Congrats on your 100th follower!..,
I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU MY DEAR BLOG FRIEND, AT MY BLOG!..,
Cheers from Silken Purse @ The Plumed Pen
Hi, my name is Eva and I am your 105th follower.

Hi:) Thanks for letting me know about this. As you you know I love France and this is why: Perfection, romance, style, and history.
I love the fashion in clothes and the interior style, the small cafes, the food, the country side, the buildings, and Paris. I would like to know more about the hidden treasures that only a "frenchie" would know about. I have just blogged about my trip to France and some books I have bought. More to come later. Congratulations to you and your beautiful blog.

Oh Patricia, thank you for inviting us to take part in a lovely collection of French memories! I too have wonderful memories of France, and have shared them on my blog http://www.thecruetset.blogspot.com/
And while I no longer feel confident enough to write or speak in French, I do understand it when I read so it's lovely to read all the French posts too!
