French Country Fridays- French Demijohns, Some News & an Update

Happy Friday all! I hope you’ve been having a good week so far. Today is the second installation of our new weekly series, French Country Fridays!

But before I share what all of us have been up to this week, I wanted to give you a little update on what’s been going on here at Maison de Cinq. Unfortunately, I had a pretty bad accident this past weekend – I managed to fall down our stairs and break my back. You know that saying “broken back”? Well, it’s an actual thing! The only reason I’m mentioning it is so that you won’t be surprised if my posting has slowed down a bit. It’s very difficult to type and/or blog because I can’t lie on my back and I definitely can’t sit! So, for the next couple of weeks I’ll be doing as much as I can but it may be a little less than the “norm.” I hope you’ll stay around during this time knowing that I will be back in full force in just a couple of weeks!

And in relation to that, I spoke last week about a giveaway which I am super excited to tell you about. However, I just couldn’t get it written this week, so hopefully next week I’ll be able to get it done. It’s a really good one and I’m anxious to share it with you, so stay tuned for that!

 

Okay, let’s get started with some French Country inspiration!

    I’m so sorry to read about your unfortunate accident. Breaking one’s back sounds horrendous! It must be very frustrating but be patient and follow the doctor’s advice. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery. Best wishes, Ingrid. (South Africa)

    Oh my Sheila!!! I am so sorry to hear of your accident. Truthfully, the stairs is one of the reasons why we are looking to downsize….we want a one level smaller home…My thoughts and prayers will be with you for a fast and full recovery!!! Take care of yourself!!!

      Thanks so much Shirley! And yes, they sure can be dangerous can’t they? I was wearing socks, which was not smart! I’m going to get a runner which hopefully will help!
