...is what i'm doing everyday. there are 6 dolls in V's dollhouse and they need some winter gear... very rewarding to make them hats and scarves, one at breakfast, another at the café. we had an impromptu knitting/crocheting club meeting with I yesterday. oh how i like her! it was maybe our 5th meeting and she just feels so familiar. i just don't know any of the people she's talking about. today she's having a crafting meeting at her place. crafting for the benefit of the village mill. there's a christmas fair in 2 weeks.
yesterday a beautiful film arrived and the whole family watched it together:
"Le ballon rouge" by Albert Lamorisse (from 1956)
what beauty and sweetness. 50's Paris. the clothes, the streets, the stores. i can't wait to watch the other film by him.
(this is, by the way, 200th post - sounds a bit nerdy!)

This film is an absolute jewel.
And I like how you make those tiny hats for winter. So nice.
First comment here as I am a very discreet reader, normaly, but "Le ballon rouge" is a favorite of ours even if my little girl doesn't like the ending. We haven't seen Crin Blanc but I heard it's wonderful too. I hope you'll enjoy it as much.

very nice dolls!
Moi Hanna, This is Reka from 'my cabinet of curiosities'. My finnish is not that good unfortunately though I understand and can read...I found your blog through another blog (can't remember now which) and it made me so happy immediately! I find it so beautiful! I'm originally from Hungary but studied (Taik) here and now I'm living here with my family - finnish husband and a little boy T.
i love that film too..
wow 200!! congratulations!!
i love meeting with people that make me feel that way.
I agree it's a lovely film :)
I love the little dollshouse dolls, they're so sweet!

like "loulou's mum" I'm usually a lurker, too shy to comment, but regular reader of your blog (I can't help saying I love your little world !)--
and by the way : happy 200 !
i find thatle ballon rouge is somehow very poetic.
10 years later there was one of my favorite movies with the famous French actor Bourvil, it's called " l'arbre de noël" (the christmas tree) story of a dad who decides to go country with his young son suffering from blood cancer, where they will all be taught a lifelesson.

you might enjoy it if you can find it in another language than french !
thank you for your messages, they make me very happy! and it's nice to hear that there are regular readers, even if they're shy... i'm not a very active commentator myself, but it is so nice to hear from other people in this world.
i will check put the youtube-link, merci SierraMoon.
i speak french, but my french is terribly neglected. (in Finland we have subtitles, no dubbing)
