DECEMBER DELIGHTS- Paper Antic Toys- FRENCH CHRISTMAS

[@cobwebsandcatnip]

I can imagine Clochette running into your bedroom shouting "Madam! The tree has fainted!" 😊 Merry Christmas Laeticia and thank you for all your wonderful creations 🎄

[@spinstercatlady]

What a hilarious image 🤣

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you! Yes she was very scared ! Merry Christmas to you too! You are very kind thank you :)

[@sharontrueman3221]

I’m so happy that your video popped into my KZbin feed. I am so nourished by them. You are a very special and wonderful artist. Thank you for sharing of yourself, your creations and your beautifully embellished spaces. Many blessings.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

[@AnneSmith-mu2ph]

I love everything you make your very talented lv Ann uk ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@amandajephson9964]

Clochette looked like she enjoyed that tree catastrophe, wanting to play with the ornaments!

[@zetasattic]

Love the antique toy vibes. I love nostalgia and most of all I love your videos! Sweet Clochette running to you for safety. If my tree fell it would be because one or more of the three would have been climbing around in it lol. Peace and hugs to you and Clochette 😊

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Dawn!, yes this sweet and brave Clochette ! I have to say Im not entirely sur it's not her who did that, thought she doesn't climb on it, I saw her smelling some branches , it might have been enough to make the tree fall. Thank you !! Clochette gives you a cat hug too!

[@devorah935]

So quintessentially french ❤

[@rossanaperry9318]

[@Momcat6]

Your apartment is charming! The Christmas decor is lovely and the puppets are wonderful. I've just signed up for the workshop! ❤🐻

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

Oh, how delightful to see the little bear Jumping Jack, as we call that type of toy. I love the Holly theme with its special green and red splashes of color. Everything looks so cozy and quaint in your home. I always enjoy the beautiful outdoor scenery, as well as the magical lights. This was very inspirational to watch. 🌲💖🌲

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Rozani, I didn'tknow it was how you called it in English. Thank you! we feel very cozy with my Kitten in our festive decor :) Happy if it inspired you !

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

You’re most welcome. 😍 Wishing you a very merry, creatively cozy Christmas and Winter season. ❤️🌲❤️🌲❤️🌲

[@judyrankine1697]

This workshop looks wonderful! Thank you for working so hard to share the projects with us. And all of your decorations are beautiful and inspiring. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Hello Judy ! Thank you :) Happy if you appreciate the new workshop ! You too! Have a Joyeux Noël with your family !

[@SheWhoFlies]

Clochette supervises everything. 😘

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Oh Yes! I cannot do something in the house without seeing her arriving at once checking what I do, she is a real control freak !! And I obviously live in HER apartment....

[@patticurran308]

You are so very talented - enchanting!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you :)

[@neonviolent]

Like the others, I'm more than willing to wait for your courses so that you can catch up and take some time for yourself. I just bought the recent course and I cannot think of a more enjoyable way to kick off the New Year than with a bit of creative joy and whimsy. Thank you for continuing to share you talent and imagination with us.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you, it's very kind I hope you will enjoy it , I think it's going to be a nice way to start the year and to enter into the winter Season ! Merry Christmas to you, thank you ! :)

[@fionasimagination]

Your videos feel so much like home and childhood. They bring me back to myself and make me calm. Thank you!❤

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you very much Fiona ! I'm very happy to read that and if they give you some comfort and peace !

[@davidjohnston9356]

Beautiful all around. Your new creations are adorable. Clochette is knowingly watching everything you do. She looks like a very wise good friend. My place finally also looks like Christmas. I just love this time of the year. Thanks for enriching our lives with your creativity. Merry Christmas from this part of the world to yours ❤

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Sabine! yes it's impoossible to do something secretly with her, she always shows up when she suspects I'm doing something unusual which needs to be checked.... Good if you have added all the Christmas Magic to your home and garden, Merry Christmas in advance to you too , if I don't come back before Christmas .

[@lynnedaniels650]

What a delightful video! Your kingdom is absolutely magical and I love the toy bear! As a Momma to 2 cats I know how difficult it can be to make up the bed too...😄 Off the subject but the hairband looks wonderful on you! Have a Joyous Christmas and New Years Laetitia!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Lynne ! Yes it's interesting how making a bed attract them instantly like magnets, when they are not sleeping on it and when it's even possible to try to do them! Oh thank you! I think I'm in a hairband phase at the moment :) Merry Christmas !!

[@spinstercatlady]

The jumping bear is just adorable and I adore your holly bedding - it looks so soft and comfy! Glad all the ornaments remained unharmed after the tree collapse, whew 😅

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Shawna, yes the fabric is very soft , I can tell it is because Clochette sleeps really more on this one than on others I have. That's the huge benefit of having paper ornaments, they are unbreakable ! I didn't even worry about that, but I guess the noise would have been worse if I only had glasses decors ....

[@wickedartist1451]

Enchanting as always, Laetitia.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you ! :)

[@lilyofthevalley752]

I found your channel recently and I consider it as a precious Christmas gift to me this year!! Thank you so much for spreading the beauty & the magic everywhere, wish you a magical Christmas time beautiful lady ❤🎄🎇🎀👑

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Happy you found your way to my Kingdom, and Happy if you consider it a Christmas gift! Thank you for your kind words! A beautiful Christmas to you too :)

[@kimberstarr1251]

Just when you think a workshop couldnt be any better oh my gosh!!!!! Cant wait to make this bear toy he is amazing. Loved the video always makes me feel better about winter!!! BTW i didnt get an email about the workshop coming available just wanted to let you know that.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Kimberly !! :) yes it's true your winter is not always fun, hopefully you will have some snowflakes this year and a bit more magic to have a different approach to winter! The Newsletter was just sent a little while ago and was a bit late.

[@laureencriss8220]

Really lovely! ❤

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you !

[@michelleeveille4435]

❤

[@deannak1841]

There should be a spot in ur tree stand to hold water for the tree to drink as it needs…. U can spritz it too

[@Merveillesenpapier]

My mother has one like that, it doesn't make a big difference , maybe I will try someday to see for my tree if it keeps it longer.

[@deannak1841]

Perhaps your home is just very dry, our tree lasts long past Christmas without becoming brittle. But it's just heartbreaking to hear yours broke! I'm so sorry that happened, glad you you fix it! Merry Christmas!❤

[@AngelaHugginsmakesdolls]

Letitia i am so there!!!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Hello Angela , Thank you!!

[@elegantwitchery2054]

Lovely as always. Merci 💝

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you!

[@MsMaryLS]

Beautiful video!!❤❤❤

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you !

[@roksannastephens4375]

Happy Holidays and hello Laetitia and Choclette! Oh what a lovely workshop. And for such a good price. Will you offer the 'Antic toys and Carousel' Workshop another time/next winter? Awh, what lovely cosy and comfy Christmas bedding, pillows, etc. I too air out my pillows. Look how intently Choclette looks at the holly you brought home. Hope he stays clear of eating the berries. I don't think there is free growing holly in the parks near me, but boy would love to gather some if they do. Thank you again for such a lovely video.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you! The workshop will reopen in November next year as the other Christmas workshops., Clochette is not interested in the berries no worries ! Yes rules are different for every country, here we can pick it but in smalll quantity and for our own homes, and in the park there are so many of them, the few branches I take will not prevent them from growing even more. Thank you Roksanna !

[@roksannastephens4375]

Oh good to hear on workshop for next year. And yay, on no berry eating.lol. Glad you are able to pick Holly, it's so lovely.

[@joycolli2023]

This is just beautiful!!! ❤❤🎉🎉🙋‍♀️

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you ! Joyce!

[@heathers510]

💗💗💗

[@marjanwolfs6273]

When people don't see your beautiful tree on the balcony, they are not looking very well. It is good you don't have tree decorations which will break in 1000 pieces. You find the glass in the whole room, I'am always surprised how that is possible. Be carefull with the hollie and berries, they are poisson for Clochette. Most cats don't eat it, but you never know. I love the bear.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Yes it's such a relief to know they will last my entire life unless they end in a humid place but otherwise they can handle a falling tree !She doesn't care about holly she was just looking at it but thank you for the advice ! :)

[@pattykelly6621]

You need a wider and heavier base so your tree can't be knocked over so easily. The type of store bought bases we get here in the US are typically low to the ground but quite wide.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

I know those things exist here too , I just didn't bother to find it. Maybe someday!

[@mistirose]

Wonderful, Laetitia! I have enrolled in the course. The toy bear is absolutely adorable. Thank you, so much. Personally, I would rather a Christmas project than Halloween if we had to choose. While I enjoy Halloween, Christmas decor is my absolute favorite. Whatever your decision, you know I will enroll. 💗💗💗

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Misti! I hope you will like this workshop too I know there are the group of the Halloween fans and the group of the Christmas fans, and I have to say I'm in both groups but I have done more christmas workshops so far than Halloween ones, so maybe I will do a new Christmas one once every other year I don't know we will see! :)

[@frenchartantiquesparis424]

New here today..... So your toys and dolls etc are made from Papier-Mache? And you run workshop to teach this techniques?

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Hello, you have my bio if you just click just under the banner with the replies to all your questions. So no it's not basic papier maché. I have created and developped my own paper techniques these past +20years selling my art, showing my work in castles and museums and doing workshops during all these years which all the videos from the very beginning of this this channel document.

[@MarieSoularue]

Vous ne vendez plus vos créations Laëtitia ?

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Bonjour Marie alors j'ai parlé un peu de mes chantiers en cours dans une vidéo de novembre, j'ai mis la vente de créations en ligne en pause cette année pour avoir plus de temps à consacrer à mes ateliers et à aussi et surtout àmes projets de livres de contes qui me tiennent plus à coeur.. que tout le reste en fait! et que je souhaitais faire bien avant de commencer à vendre et exposer mes créations il y a de cela 20 ans. Ces projets assez ambitieux ont avancé très lentement cette année mais je suis confiante qu'ils ne vont pas tarder à voir le jour, lentement mais sûrement. Une nouvelle création est aussi en fabrication pour la prochaine exposition avec les Monuments Nationaux. Et les journées ne faisant que 24 h on ne peut pas tout faire en même temps ;) , et avec les années qui filent , les priorités changent, des vidéos vont arriver justement sur ces projets . Il y aura sûrement de nouvelles créations en vente dans le futur , mais sans doute plus autant qu'avant surtout si mes projets de livres de contes se concrétisent mais nous verrons ce que l'avenir réserve!

[@pattykelly6621]

I don't understand why your workshops open and close. Does that mean the people who buy your workshops only have access to it during the time it is 'open'?

[@deborahthurman6911]

No, I have many of her workshops, they are always open, to the purchaser and they are wonderful x

[@RavenStealstheNight]

They open and close due in alignment with the holiday or particular season. After purchasing a workshop, they are yours forever to open whenever you want.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

No, once enrolled there is no limit of acess even after the workshop closes. those who joined can follow ans start their creation and decors when they want and contact me when they need to long after the workshop closed .You didn't see , but it is clearly mentioned in different places on my workshops home page and website and I repeated in countess videos here on you tube as well even under the videos in the descriptions It's true I didn't repeat it there, because I have said it so many times I fear I might sound like a broken record. And that would be strange to have some christmas workshops available all year long ... they close and open for many reasons including to follow the seasons.
