ABOVE: One of my favorite places to visit, a local French Restaurant Le Chaille.
(my header on top of my blog is also taken from there.)
I had a very interesting email this weekend. It was sent anonymously, saying if I was going to use OTHER people’s photographs, I needed to give them credit. (referring to my pink Saturday’s collage) Well… I never gave a thought to giving my-SELF credit. But yes, these are MY photographs.

This beautiful Bride is my divine niece and the Gorg lovely on the far right is my other divine niece.

I visited one of my dearest friends last week. Her rose bushes were UNREAL. Typically I don’t like Roses…in fact they have always been my least favorite flower. (all those darn thorns and such) but hers were indescribable!
I am so blessed. This young blog has given me more to be thankful for– it’s helped me sincerely see how daily, my life is Beautiful. (visit Melissa at Inspired Room) she is an inspiration!

I was encouraged by a couple of my new “blog” sisters to participate in PINK SATURDAY.

I love the color Pink, with its many meanings these days, but for me it reminds me of the wonderful times I spent with my beautiful daughter doing fun girlie things.
Is there a special color you love?
Too many fun PINK ideas to choose from! Thanks for including me!

Ok, it’s true, I am hooked on Paris and Black and White!

I believe in RE-purposing… My ultra talented, brilliant and creative sister was once again moving and being true to herself… cleaning and tossing. I happened to be lucky enough to catch some of her goodies.
I pulled together a true Guest bath… one where a guest could be taken away, whether it be by “Calgon” or any other bubbly aroma.

Voila`… a Paris themed Guest bath. (Black and White Toile on commode top and seat cover, as well accent on towels) Cute little antique bike– huh?

Little bit of storage never hurt!

Don’t you just adore the Eiffel Tower accents?
Transition……
Listen intently … can you hear the accordion playing softly in the background?

“Love is in the Air!”My sweet niece is allowing me to experience her falling in love with a handsome Police officer– thus my heart is all Twidderpated.
Today is TABLE SCAPE THURSDAY, with Susan and the gang… (stop by and see the lovely REAL tablescapes they have all created.) So, borrowing from my Parisian Guest bath, let fantasize on a simple Bistro in Paris.

Madame…

Monsieur…

Oh Dear!!!I forgot to cook….(shoosh not that I ever do.) Oh well… Young couples don’t need food, only Love!
Thank you Susan, for presenting a forum for a dreamer like myself to put her chin in her hand and muse a while.

Aren’t these clouds and sky just fabulous? I had to share… who would’ve known 4 hours later we would be having “Severe Thunderstorm warnings“?
This morning while visiting some of my favorite blog friends, I found a new one. Check her out…oooooh my goodness its lovely, especially if you enjoy Hydrangeas. Meet, Susan from Southern Daydreamer.

Since January 1st 2010 -- I have been celebrating finding Beauty in our every day lives. Stay in the Day... be in the moment. Don't wait to live your life.
Stop and make a habit to find the Beauty and you will be amazed at how Beautiful your life is. Be thankful and remember:
"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Dyer
