- My name is Barb and I am the woman behind the online boutique THE FRENCH ELEMENTS. While I will always keep The French Elements blog (so many memories), I have started a new one and I hope you will visit. CHASING THE NEXT CHAPTER is about change. The past few months I have been thinking about writing a new blog. My youngest son passed away 7/1/2015 and life will never be the same for us. He entered Heaven and we entered a new chapter in our lives. A very different chapter that is still unfolding. We have always talked about moving back to Europe (or elsewhere). The talk continues but we are planning on making the dream our reality. He would be pleased.
Yep!
In the future??

What a beautiful place to go for a Christmas market. Did you spend a lot of money?
I used to love going to the Weihnachtsmarkten in Austria & Germany. when we lived in Bavaria we would go to the one in Marienplatz in Munich every year for gluhwein & roasted chestnuts and sweet almonds.
Thanks for the memory.
