This week was the 200th anniversary of Napoleans d This week was the 200th anniversary of Napoleans death. These are his words, apparently, and even if they are not they are very true. Doing new and different things is the only way to grow... 😊 Like a lot of others, this past year I've been forced to explore new things and spread my wings in more ways than three (thanks covid!). I've not been a regular Instagram user for myself and I'm a 'non-selfie' kind of person, so one thing I did was join the 'How to have fun with Instagram' course with @honestlywithhonor - who also had to pivot her business due to the pandemic. Honor's course groups are full of dynamic and interesting women and there's a huge amount of support. You will be guided from the very basics to making and mixing reels - there are daily prompts and Zoom check-ins too. If you are completely new to Instagram or unsure how it can work for your business, this course will help you I am sure! I'm still a non-selfie kind of person, but maybe you are too, so why not give it a go and see how far you fly?! 😉 #shoutoutSaturday #womensupportingwomen #howtohavefunwithinstagram #lafranglaise #socialmediamarketing #instagramstrategy #localbusiness #instagrammarketingtips #instagramforwomeninbusiness #honestlywithhonor #growyourbusiness #womeninbusinessinfrance #ladiesinbusiness #webmarketingtips #nonselfie #businesspivot
Well this is exciting! Even more exciting if you Well this is exciting! Even more exciting if you like real ale! 🍺🍺 One of my watercolour sketches @annettemorris.art has been selected by Chapeau de Renard @foxhatcraftbrewery for the label of a new craft beer. SAISON-Z is brewed in the Aude with Nelson Sauvin hops from New-Zealand - and will be available from Sunday at the Marché Gourmand in Tourouzelle! If you are local you can come along and meet the maker - but if not all the details will be on the website shortly 😁 #annettemorrisart #foxhatcraftbrewery #chateaufestiano #craftbeer #marchegourmand #watercoloursketch #artistsoninstagram #tourouzelle #olonzacmarket #biereartisanale #artisanslocaux #realale #nelsonsauvin #newzealand #artisansaudois #babeaubouldoux #beertasting #localbusiness #localproduce #livinginlanguedoc #farmersmarkets #frenchmarket #canaldumidi
I do love a list! I am a prolific maker of lists, I do love a list! I am a prolific maker of lists, I have lists of lists. I sometimes make lists of things I've already done just so I can cross them out (am I the only person who does that?! 🤔) Lists are a bit of an obsession, in a way... 😉 On the list this week (the current list) is hosting a Zoom sketch workshop, adding online booking to a clients website and finishing a commission. What's on your list this week? #accountability #mondaymotivation #listslistslists #timemanagement #obsessions #howtohavefunwithinstagram #timemanagementtips #lafranglaise #annettemorrisart #zoomworkshops #wordpresswebsitedevelopment #bilingualwebsites #commissionart #watercolourpainting #watercoloursketch #mondaymorning #planstagram #accountabilitypost
Joyeuse Fête du Travail! 💐💐💐. The 1st Ma Joyeuse Fête du Travail! 💐💐💐. The 1st May in France is la Fête du Travail (Labour Day) - and it is French tradition for Muguet (Lily of the Valley) flowers, a symbol for good luck and the month of May, to be given to friends and loved ones, a custom which dates back centuries - but also to WWII & the Vichy government .... I wrote a blog about it if you'd like to have a read 😉 https://www.renestance.com/blog/muguet-de-mai-a-french-tradition #lafranglaise #lifeinfrance #muguet #muguetdemai #laborday #vichy #frenchcustoms #traditionsinfrance #goodluck #publicholiday #lilyofthevalley #fetedutravail #mayday #labourday #springflowers #blogger #frenchlifestyleblogger #blogueuse #amsketching #annettemorrisart
It will soon be la Fête des Mères in France 🥰 It will soon be la Fête des Mères in France 🥰 To offer something that will last longer than flowers why not commission a watercolour of a special pet or a favourite place? Either would be a beautiful surprise (and if you're not sure, a gift voucher is an option too!) 🖼🎁 To talk about personalised postcards or something larger in a frame, simply send me a message? I'd love to hear from you! #annettemorrisart #commissions #petportraits #paintmyhouse #watercoloursketch #fetedesmeres #lafranglaise #specialgifts #notonthehighstreet #sketchingart #artistsoninstagram #giftvouchers #giftcertificates #giftcommissions #sketchingfrance #watercolourpainting #watercolourart
Gotcha Day! It's now 4 years since we adopted thi Gotcha Day! It's now 4 years since we adopted this adorable hound from @dogrescuecarca . It took a while to decide her name but we settled on "Duffy" and it suits her perfectly! A bundle of nerves she's a rescue dog as quirky as they come, but she's gentle, affectionate, very entertaining and great with all other animals and people. As a highly unsuccessful hunting dog she has adapted to her new lifestyle extremely well 😍🐾 #rescuedog #dogrescue #dogrescuecarcassonne #spacarcassonne #lifeinfrance🇫🇷 #frenchhuntingdog #societeprotectricedesanimaux #lafranglaise #bleudegascogne #houndsofinstagram #houndsoflove #weimaraner #lifewithaweimaraner #weimlifehappylife #griffonbleudegascogne #bleudegascogne😊🐗🐕
It has just been announced that France will come o It has just been announced that France will come out of the current 'lockdown' on 3 May 😃 🎉🇫🇷. On this exact day last year I was in the attic, aka my studio, where I was recording the first of several online sketch workshops, something I never (ever) planned to do... 😳 I found it a huge challenge with a really steep learning curve!! New equipment, new technology, new isolation! Running a small business, the pandemic has completely changed the way I work - and it's still very unclear how the rest of this year will pan out (which makes it very hard to plan ahead - and I do like a plan!) What has been your lockdown challenge, and have you adapted your business to overcome it? #throwbackthursday #lockdownlife #smallbusiness #ladiesinbusiness #womeninbusinessinfrance #ladiesinbusinessinfrance #onlineworkshops #zoomworkshops #workingfromhome #artistintheattic #annettemorrisart #amsketching #sketchingfrance #sketchlanguedoc #businessenligne #lafranglaise #bilingual #webdesigner #sketchworkshops #sketchworkshop #sketchingforbeginners #sketchingforbeginnersstepbystep #newbusinessideas #resilience #abundantbusiness #lockdownchallenge #howtohavefunwithinstagram #businesschallenges #artistsoninstagram
Moving to France ... with a dog 🐾🇫🇷 As yo Moving to France ... with a dog 🐾🇫🇷 As you may have guessed, I love France ... and I love hounds (Weimaraners especially 😍) Moving to France from the UK I thought that all I needed was a rabies stamp in a pet passport and there would be nothing else to worry about. As it turns out, there are many other things to be aware of when bringing a furbaby to France ... bugs, diseases and hairy beasties to name but a few. I wrote a blog about it https://lafranglaise.com/moving-to-france-with-a-dog - if you'd like to have a read 🙂 #lafranglaise #movingtofrance #livinginfrance #petsofinstagram #weimaranersofinstagram #lifeinfrance #frenchdreamlife #ticks #parvovirus #leichmaniosis #tickdiseases #wildboar #huntinginfrance #petpassport #piroplasmosis #rabies #traveltofrance🇫🇷 #chasseurs #huntingseason #processionarycaterpillars #protectinganimals #petprotection #societeprotectricedesanimaux #dogrescuecarcassonne #wordywednesday #wednesdaywords #frenchlifestyleblogger
New logo New dates New location! I've just update New logo New dates New location! I've just updated the logo for the Cancer Support France Activity for Life 2021. The event this year is the 'Garonne Challenge' in September for both walkers, cyclists - even fun runners! 🚴‍♀️🚶🚶‍♂🏃 One way or another I have been involved with this event since 2015 when the first cycle ride took place in Languedoc. It's my way of supporting an amazing charity that helps English speakers in France - and their families. Do support the event if you can, either by sharing this post, taking part (it's good fun!), or making a donation to CSF via their website http://www.cancersupportfrance.org 😊 #lafranglaise #cancersupportfrance #activityforlife #cycleforlife #charityevent #garonne #garonnechallenge #logodesign #websitedesign #webmarketing #videos #instagramvideo #helpingenglishspeakers #livinginfrance #lifeinfrance #connexionfrance #csf #csflanguedoc #canaldumidi #canaldumidiavelo
