Oh Karen, I am a sucker for all things French. From the vintage handwriting script on the postcards, to the sailing balloons and the fabulous accordion music, I am in heaven on earth. Thank you my friend, for joining in because YOUR special talents are always a reason to celebrate. The party lasts a week, so if you can, keep this up for a week and visit the other posts at your leisure. I've been having fun all morning long!!! Anita

Yes, yes, let's meet in Paris, mon amie. My heart is bursting with all this inspiration and beauty. So many pretties. I think it was a year ago through Anita's Simply Irresistible party that I clicked on your page...if my memory serves me right. So happy I did.
Can't get enough of French music. I listened to plenty yesterday while sampling macarons with my daughter. Come and share a bite.

What a delightful post today. I think I like everything about it. I am in love with that blue tea cup. For some reason, the blue tea cups are the prettiest to me.

It's so nice to meet new friends.
