Ma Petite Robe Noire: the new Tralala design

So chic!
After La Parisienne (Parisian Girl) and Mode de Paris (Paris Fashion) the French designer Tralala is surfing once again on the wave of the parisian chic.

Ma Petite Robe Noire (My Little Black Dress) was already a must in any Parisian woman's wardrobe. Then, it has recently become a perfume by the famous Guerlain.

Now it is also a design by Tralala!

A special thanks to The World of Cross-Stitching magazine which features this chart in its current issue (available from 13 Sept).

Stitching the warm colours of Autumn

Well, we are not quite here yet... but the days are definitively shorter and the morning air chilly.
Soon the leaves will fall and it will be time for a wander in autumn as beautifully pictured by Madame la Fée in her "Ballade en Automne" design.
A special thanks to Cross Stitch Collection magazine which features this chart in its October issue (already available).

Find all our "Autumn" designs in our "4 seasons in 1 year" category. As many charts in this section, it is part of a seasonal series: Winter and Spring also available with the same little characters and cabins throughout the year.

French country style for home-made jams

Thanks to our new kit, you will be able to keep safely - and with style - your best recipes of preserves. "Confitures" (My Preserves) is a new kit made in partnership with French designer Bois Joli. Everything is included in our kit (even the notebook!) to make this lovely item, first of all the embroidery linen already printed with a charming 'jar of jam' drawing. 

Even if I do not make my own preserves yet, I like the idea of keeping the yummy recipes I come across into this sweet recipe book till the day I have time and space to make them!
