J'aime énormément celui qui vous nous faites découvrir de "La mère de famille".<br />Cette année il est vrai que je n'ai pas prévu un calendrier de l'avent car je n'ai aucun de mes petits-enfants qui doivent venir durant cette période. Pour Noël c'est moi qui me rendraient chez eux... <br />Peut-être que je devrais le faire seulement pour moi-même, après tout !<br />Une très jolie publication aux saveurs sucrées.<br />Gros bisousmartinealisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055152925986659065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-67998164499497732042013-11-20T18:22:05.018-05:002013-11-20T18:22:05.018-05:00Originally my friend and I were going to come to P...Originally my friend and I were going to come to Paris the day after Thanksgiving.

Since I told her once that I find she spends too much money on sending me mine (lived in UK at the time and now in France), she just struck me from the receiver list.... now it's a small calendar like I send out too :)<br />was in Germany twice around Advent and it looks stunning when they jazz up their buildings to look like Xmas calendars.<br />I one 'created' one with a photo of my home town Zurich, Switzerland on <br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/vol-au-vent/4161449596/in/set-72157594406478780Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08409708734190961725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-13364823116407218232013-11-20T09:36:43.406-05:002013-11-20T09:36:43.406-05:00Oh what a lovely post, and trip through Advent man...Oh what a lovely post, and trip through Advent mania ...

Just yesterday, I remembered to purchase my own Advent Calendar (without any candy...the suprise images unveiled by the daily window openings are treat enough for me.) <br /><br />The card store nearest my home generally sells out of the calendars by Thanksgiving. The calendar that I bought was made in Germany by ... Richard Sellmer Verlag.<br /><br />I'll post a picture of it when Advent begins. Meanwhile, I have so enjoyed seeing all those glamorous and whimsical Parisian windows in your photos.
