« Bon Miam Miam »

When we find something tasty, we usually say “c’est bon”, “c’est très bon" but when we talk to children or familiar friends, we migjt say “Miam” or “Miam miam”.

I was thinking to create my own biscuit brand name, I found it quite fun and naughty to make the combination “Bon Miam Miam“ which express "tasty and delicious" in a cheerful way!

So, this is a custom-made for a very nice customer.
He likes very much Bon Miam Miam biscuits and wants some to decorate the room box.
Hope he enjoys the little chocolate brownie and raspberry tart biscuits! :)

Vivre la France! The winner is....

Today is the National Day of France; we started to have fireworks since last night. This week I made some berries to go with “Bonne Maman Tartelettes framboises” in celebration of this day.


The products of Bonne Maman, like biscuits, fruit jam and Madeleine, are very common but popular in the daily life. We always keep some ‘storage’ in the drawer. Normally we have afternoon tea at 4pm (à quatre heure) but when children are back from school, it’s already 5pm. So we often enjoy the teatime between 5 and 6pm then have dinner between 8 and 9pm in France.

Now we go back to my blog’s anniversary giveaway.

This morning I asked my husband to draw… before showing the winner, I would like to say thank you to all the participants for this event. I am pleased that you would like to win my minis and I am sure we will have more gifts in the coming months.

So… let’s start!
I printed all the ballot paper this morning

putting into my tea bowl...

This mister has his own opinion to draw the paper out of the bowl...

Obviously the winner is…..

Chani of Blanc et Caramel Congraulations, my friend!
I will dispatch your minis soon and don't forget to let me know your address! :)
Bonne fête!

One year anniversary giveaway

It’s getting hot in France these two weeks. After coming back from Paris, I hide myself at home. One reason is avoid the sunlight and high temperature and the other reason is fight with my new toy---a sewing machine.


When my in-laws were here with us in May, they tried to teach me the basic function because I knew nothing about this but would like to make some curtains for our new house. In fact this is an excuse! The main purpose is I want to make some mini tissue and also imagine that I will be capable to make beautiful clothes for my dolls someday. ^o^



I tried hard to manage this stubborn machine last week. I felt shame to present any working result and hided incomplete pieces in the drawer. I need more advises or an instructor to train me. XD

So, this week I am back to my FIMO stock and the pasta machine. My Etsy shop looks dull for a long time. I want to try some more different things after SIMP inspiration but I make eventually some French candies and biscuits as a souvenir of my one-year-anniversary on Blogspot. Yeah! I started my blog on 4th July 2009 and I am really pleased to know so many friends from here. I do appreciate all my followers who support and keep company with me.



As you can see, I prepare “French Calissons Set” as a giveaway. Calisson is a specialty of Aix-en-Provance in France. It consists of a smooth, pale yellow, homogeneous paste of ground almonds topped with a thin layer of white icing. It’s very sweet! This set contains 12 mini calissons, 4 nut chocolates, 3 biscuits roses de Reims and 5 waffle biscuits.



What you have to do is leave a sweet message here, my dear followers! You will definitely have the opportunity to win this sweetie! The lucky fellow will appear on 14th July, French time.


Have fun and Happy Independence Day!
