Its great when you discover a bit of music from the past. I was listening to a radio station a couple of days ago and this track from a group called Cymande was playing. The song is called ‘Brothers on the Slide’ and it was released back in 1972 but (in my opinion) sounds great today!
Please click on the facebook like below or the little heart just to let me know I am not the only one who likes this blast from the past!
Have a great weekend where ever you are or are going!

I wonder if, when Edvard Munch sat down to create ‘The Scream’ in 1895 he could ever imagine it would be sold for an astonishing 120million dollars someday.
There are four versions of this painting and this is the only one in private hands – the others all being in museums. Yesterday it was sold to an anonymous bidder and became the most expensive piece of art ever sold at auction!
This artwork was in fact created using pastels not paint and is one of the most recognizable pieces from Edvard Munch or any artist from this period. There is also a poem written on the frame by the Norwegian artist.
I read in the newspaper that a driver mistook the stairs down to the Paris metro as an underground parking garage. There are lots of underground parking garages in Paris and at a quick glance some of the entrances do in fact look similar to the entrance to the Paris metro. – All except the metro has a great big sign telling you that its the metro and there are steps instead of a car ramp!! – Anyway this car actually tried driving down the metro steps and then got stuck! That must have been a serious shock for the driver and also anyone coming up out from the metro.
I dont think I will ever leave a Paris metro station again without having something in the back of my mind saying, ‘careful there there could potentially be a car coming down the other way’.
The crazy thing is, reading France 24 online news, apparently this not the first time it happened. A local restaurant owner said the same thing happened at the same metro a few years ago. – I think someone needs to put an additional sign telling people, This is not an underground garage!’
As you know we love kids wall stickers at French Blossom and we are always trying to discover fun and new designs from French designers. These two wall stickers for children are perfect for a bedroom or for a playroom and are certain to brighten up any wall. (No joke intended using the words ‘brighten up’ and the light bulbs in these stickers).
Dinosaur wall stickers are perfect for a little boys room and this dinosaur wall sticker is a lovely kaki green in colour. Discover the dinosaur wall sticker here
The glow in the dark wall sticker has two light bulbs hanging from strings and if you look carefully inside the light bulbs the words ‘bonne nuit’ are written. ‘bonne nuit’ is the french for good night! This glow in the dark wall sticker is hardly visible in the day but when its night it really comes to life!
The house with colourful smoking chimney is a great childrens wall sticker from Poisson Bulle and has only recently been added to the french blossom website.

If you are like me, then I am sure you get excited whenever you stumble upon original, unique and stylish vintage pieces of clothing, shoes or accessories. Not so long ago I would discover great finds in quirky little shops around Paris but now many websites have sprung up with some really great vintage and retro offerings to tempt me! Many of these websites even create new pieces, influenced and inspired by past times.
Finding vintage pieces for adults is a lot easier than finding lovely vintage clothing for kids. Our friend Helena at the Junior blog, with her love of childrens fashion has created The Jnr. Vintage – a place on her blog where you can buy lovely vintage clothing pieces for children. This is a new project from Helena and she will be adding more and more of her finds each week.
I recommend you make a visit to The Jnr and discover this weeks vintage dresses for girls. – The Jnr. Vintage and then go to the SHOP section.
