Our little chef de cuisine is preparing some lovely dishes in the kitchen of the manoir. Poultry is lying feet up in the copper cooking pot, ready to be seasoned with some thyme, rosemary, bay leaf and burgundy wine. Ready to be cooked. Cooking is relaxing! Or so it should be. There are too many ready meals on the market, it's big fun to cook with some attention. I've always thought of food/cooking as a social event, first cooking itself and then having a good conversation and a beautiful glass of wine to accompany the meal, one of the best moments of the day! It's all we need, attention for the meal and for each other, right? Wine just enhances the good feel and the flavours of a dish. When I saw this month's challenge at Our Vintage Affair I wanted to wrap up a nice bottle of red wine. Because of the colour of the wine I chose some autumn colours, paper is from Kaisercraft (Photo Friendly) and the wonderful labels "Sociétié Industrielle de Verrerie" (glass work) are quite appropriate. By the way, they're from Anna Griffin's. Some metal embellishments "Live, Laugh, Love" and a French looking button inside the flower finish the whole. Bon appetit!

Leuk bericht Ira, mooie creatie!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIk voel mijzelf nog steeds Flipje, maar ik heb geen lege jampotten meer. Vanavond photoshoples gehad van mijn grote kleindochter. Voor mijn man nam ze en paar sokken mee me de tekst "voor de allerliefste opa". Zij ging voldaan naar huis met een potje pruimenjam en het idee dat ze mij weer wat geleerd heeft. Ik hoop dat ik het geleerde vast kan houden en toe kan passen.
Groetjes hennie.

What a beautiful project! This is such a fabulous idea to wrap a wine bottle, and yours is just gorgeous. Love the vintage image and love the tickets and the swirls and all the flowers. And the bits of metal look wonderful, too. So perfect for our challenge this week in the Tea Room. Thanks for playing along with us.

Très bon weekend à toi aussi ! Tu es très belle sur ta nouvelle photo ! wow !
