Playing....

Nothing was sweeter to

me in Paris,

than to watch the

children play...

The pond boats were

still out in October

because it was so warm!

For the first time in my life,

I watched the kids

push them out

&

wait for them to come back~

{It could take an hour to come back to them}

The families gathered

and were so excited

to watch their little ones

ride on the ponies...

This little Mademoiselle
was my favorite...
She collected fall leaves and
made a big bouquet!
It was very very important to her...

more than her merry go round ride.
She was very familiar to me....

I believe she lives in the same
world as I do...

My Sweet Sweet Winners!!

above photo by mimi charmante

I'm Home from Paris!

My journey was

long

&

wonderful...

filled with so much

wonder, beauty

&

surprise~

And I have unpacked

Your prizes from my suitcase~

My moments were having

Laduree cafe'...

or tea in the afternoon...

and

finding

this old plaster cherub

from Laduree at a flea market!

I just hung it

over my kitchen door~

Ok it's time.....

And the winner is.....

BluebirdNotes!!

Our cheerful sweet one,

Koralee

wished for a

Pink Marie Antoinette

gift box...
from Laduree~

From the flea market,

she wished for

"wee little french creamer"

for her breakfast table

that will make her

"heart happy" to look at

when she is sipping her tea~

So easy to find,

I found it my first

day~

I could not resist our

very blissful

Reverie- Day Dream

thinking of her

"little crumb",

Gaia Miette~

She explained her name means

little crumb or little pearl

in French.

So our sweet Melissa

aka Simply Mel

is my winner too!

Her wish was the

Les Secrets watercolor Journal

from Laduree...

and a French story book for her little crumb...

printed in Paris

from the flea market~

Melissa's amazing boutique

offers treasures of

purity

&

balance

you can visit it Here~

I loved searching for all of you~

Thank you for playing with me

&

giving me the fun of hunting

just for you!

My real treasure was watching time

move slow...

&

the children play

it was like heaven~

Mauhhhhh!!!

Three Wishes And A Prayer...

Today.....

I was searching for images of

wish boxes to post...

{one of my ideas for you!}

Of course, the best one I found was

taken by

Corey at

Tongue In Cheek

I can't ever just look at her images.

I must read the post that goes with it.

Her post was 2 years ago titled

"Wish Box"

It was about her Dad who she loves

and misses every single day....

It was about three wishes...

I smiled.

I moved over to her post today.

It is an image

of her Dad's closet....

I read it & I cried.

I understand first hand...

I want to comfort her

but don't know how.

So I prayed.

I prayed that Corey will be strong.

I prayed that she knows how loved

She is....

I prayed that she remembers that

it is a cut that makes

one grow.

Grow into beautiful things,

like her story about cutting

roses~

&

So I pray she has a safe journey Home

to French Husband~
