The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
I think these are the prettiest things I’ve seen this week. Apparently, they are supposed to be ornaments (you can even have them engraved), but I think they’d make really extravagant gift tags as well. Or lovely bookmarks. Smart gifts to have on stock through Fall and Winter. Available at Prismera Design.
Hey! Don’t forget the Little Alouette Giveaway. The winner will be announced on Monday. Scroll down or click here to find it.

My name is Gabrielle Blair. I'm a designer and mother of six. We are currently living in a dreamy farmhouse in the French countryside. (I have to pinch myself each morning!) I post on the intersection of design and motherhood.

We've used our base in France to do lots of traveling. It's addictive! Here are some of our adventures:
A trip to Amsterdam.
Canoeing on the Dordogne River.
A Belgian Waffle Tour.
A wintery visit to Cologne.
Three cheers for Barcelona!
The tulip fields in Holland.
We saw the final match of the French Open.
One of our favorite spots is Mont St. Michel.
I wonder where we'll wander next! To see more of our travels, click here.
Here's something fun. Our family was featured in an episode of House Hunters International! Spoiler: we choose the gorgeous French Farmhouse. It's called La Cressonnière and we take pictures of it all the time. If you're curious, try these links:

Those are beautiful! Love them.
I think they would be so great to use as a tag on pumpkin bread for a neighbor.
Darling, but at $11 each, they won't be going on my neighbor's banana bread or even their gift.
Dang!
I'd wear them as a necklace! Is that going too far??!!?!
