Under The Spotlight

Saturday Spotlight At Junk Chic Cottage


Did I tell you that I would resume my Colour Of The Year series today? I lied! Well, not really.

Vous avais-je par hasard promis de reprendre ma série sur les couleurs de l'année aujourd'hui? Eh bien, j'ai menti! Mais ce n'est pas de ma faute.

A few months ago, Kris from Junk Chic Cottage, a blog I love reading, contacted me to know if I would be interested in being featured in her "Saturday Spotlight - Life Behind The Blogger" series. 

Il y a quelques mois, Kris, du blog Junk Chic Cottage, un blog que j'adore lire, m'a envoyé un message pour me demander si cela me ferait plaisir de participer à sa série dans laquelle chaque samedi elle présente le "blogueur derrière le blog".

 

Me? Featured among the amazing blogs she had already featured? Yes, yes, yes!

Moi? Au milieu de ces célèbres blogs de décoration? Oui, oui, oui!


My excitement met reality rather harshly when I tried to write a post about me, the one behind the blog... I began writing the post several times and then erased everything... I couldn't make it interesting somehow.

Mon enthousiasme est retombé quand il a fallu écrire un article à propos de moi... Je l'ai commencé plusieurs fois, je l'ai effacé plusieurs fois... Ce n'était jamais intéressant.


So I decided to let Cottage do the talking. The feature is now on, so you can head over to Kris at Junk Chic Cottage to see what he has to say!

Puis, j'ai décidé de laisser Cottage parler. L'article est en ligne sur le blog Junk Chic Cottage, mais je vous l'avoue, Cottage n'a pas fait de traduction...

A huge thank you to Kris for featuring the blog!

Un grand merci à Kris!

See you soon,

A bientôt,

    Cottage did a great job and it strikes me that the previous owners should see how good Cottage can look in the right hands !

    Bravo Cottage et Petite Blonde ! Quelle bonne idée d'avoir laissé Cottage s'exprimer...
    Je suis ton blog depuis quelques mois, je l'apprécie beaucoup pour son humour et ses bonnes idées.
    Suis une petite nouvelle sur la blogo, j'ai encore beaucoup à apprendre, j'y vais doucement...
    Bon dimanche.

    Bon jour Magali! I've had a wonderful time meeting you and Cottage and the fur babies! Your journey reminds me of one of my favorite movies, Under the Tuscan Sun, only your story takes place in beautiful France. You have transformed Cottage into a treasure box. I know, there's so much more to do, but what an amazing job you've done! Your kitchen transformation is amazing Magali. I can hardly wait to see what you and Cottage decide to work on when spring arrives!!

    Bisous, Edie Marie

      Merci Edie Marie for that sweet comment. Cottage and I have so many idea for the coming year that we don't really know where to begin... Days are still very short here, so I've got a couple more weeks to decide!

      Merci! Je suis désolée pour la traduction, mais écrire en bilingue prend un temps fou et j'étais censée écrire mon article pour février quand soudain, catastrophe! Kris m'a écrit pour me dire que la personne chargée de l'article de fin janvier lui avait fait faux-bond. J'ai donc envoyé le mien, sans traduction!

    Okay, so cottage I had no idea you were a "he"....really? And, you were quite articulate, well done. I think we need to see more of that stone wall. Hmmm...loving that.

      In my mind, Cottage has always been a "he", even if I've noticed my readers think differently... But in French, it's a masculine noun and also, we are a couple, where I'm the dreamer and Cottage is the down-to-earth person who reminds me that a few things are impossible!
