I am sitting in shadows and eating chocolate biscuits because it is too bright outside. The sun singes the leaves and makes the pavement hot to run on. Patch and I watch L’Ecole and I tie ribbons in my hair. My christmas tree has white leaves with gossamer film. It doesn’t snow here, it never snows, but I can pretend.
p.s. I made a little film for you, because I couldn’t just photograph it. The music box is from Claire.

Such a sweet video, a music box like that would make a perfect Christmas present. (And I’m a little in love with your blouse)
Oh to think that you are sitting in sunshine now!
P.S.: Don’t miss the snow – we have a foot, but it will all be gone by Christmas, so it doesn’t count.
Oh, thank you. It was a perfect birthday present actually!
We have far too much sunshine though, I’d happily exchange some for even a sprinkling of snow.
Love the music box.
& It never snows here either. I wish it would.

I always feel like I’m missing a whole season, don’t you?
its so lovely…makes me dream of dancing next to a silver lake…
Wouldn’t that be magical?
It’s a lovely music box! Swan Lake is one of my favorite ballets.
It is my favourite ballet too, the music is so hauntingly beautiful. What other ballets do you like? I also like Giselle and Coppelia.
Such a pretty song.
Oh, your new layout looks incredible! Shall I redirect my blogroll link?
Wow that music box is beautiful! You should make more videos!
Thank you, I would like to make more and get better at editing them.
My my..I miss music boxes..Now I want to find my old ones! Hee.. Don’t mind I post your lovely video on my blog?

Thank you. Your blog is charming, I love your crafts and the falling snow.
Beautiful video and I love your music box!
Thank you so much.
you make the simplest things so full of magic… (ps- it is good to have you back)
There is magic in the simplest things, don’t you think? Glad to be back.
Such an ornate music box! So good to have you back, dear, I must confess that I fervently check your beautiful little blog everyday hoping for a new wondrous tidbit of your life, my heart skips a beat every time you update.
It’s very delicate, I’m always afraid of bumping it and breaking the swan’s fragile throat.
Thank you, I’m honoured.
Hi Princess,
this video is utterly enchanting! I have to search for my Swanlake CD^^. Did I already mention that your blog (back then the Princess Portal) was the first one I ever followed and in last spring I started my own, being inspired by your beautiful posts!
Lovely greetings from the other side of the world,
Lilly
PS: I wish I could send you snow! We have enough to share here^^.
Hi Lilly, your blog is so sweet! I’m really happy I had some part in inspiring it. Keep writing lots <3 Skye
Cute! I love swan lake. Everything about it is so enchanting… the story, the music. Love, love, love.
This was adorable. Thanks for sharing it with us <3
I’m so happy you liked it <3
I love the music box. Swan Lake has always been one of my favorites, right behind Sleeping Beauty. :D I wish we could have some snow too, even if only a little.
I have never been able to see Sleeping Beauty at the ballet, they just don’t seem to have it here.. although the dances sound so pretty.
Do you ever get snow? We don’t, it’s never that cold here.
Oh, that is the most beautiful tune, I had to replay it several times it was that lovely to hear. How precious. x
Thank you, I love the tune as well. x
hello again, it’s been a while since i’ve commented here..
just wanted to ask, where was this shot? in your room or your friend’s room?
also, is that a blouse or a nightgown? random random questions.
xxxxxxx
Oh, i’ve forgotten- how did you like L’ecole? Do you know if I can find it anywhere online? I’ve been dying to watch it for eternities…Was it as nice as it looks?
sorry, now i’ve asked too many random questions. don’t answer them at all if you don’t feel like it.
Welcome back Rosebud. I have missed your comments. This was shot in my room at my new house and that is a nightgown I’m wearing.
I liked L’ecole very much, I rented a copy from the library which has lots of French movies. I think many people would misunderstand it though, it was beautiful.
Beautiful & magical!
