I Could Hear Music

Before the ballet, our evening fell

soft & gentle...

We had time,

so we walked over to

Repetto~

As soon as I saw the window,

I could hear music echo in my head

like I was inside of a music box~

For me, the dance had

already begun~

I studied the details immensely...

Pink tulle cotton candy

on white sticks?

Are there really Sugared almonds & tiny

silver balls on the fluffy blush tutu?

The satin slippers lined like

little silk pillows

against the back wall~

Were the

~ribbons ~floating~ wildly~

like confetti at a

party?

Were there shinny balls

strung with real French

Marshmallows

from the ceiling?

Yes!

It was all real!

This time it wasn't

my imagination...

It was so much bigger~

There is Magic

&

Magic is Alive!

I searched for my way back to earth

and found my ground...

A nod and a smile

from my sweet husband...So

I bought these

Shinny Cherry Red

ballet flats

so I'll never forget

our dance before the ballet~

MauH!!!

Have a very Magical week

my tiny dancers~

My Evening at The Opera House

Number 11

was my seat...

At Garnier's Palace

in Paris...

This building radiates
with Energy like a Soul~


Every corner Shines~


The ceiling,
painted by Chagall
whispers to you
and takes you to
a place of Pure
Peace...



The tiny ballerinas
danced like they were
in a little music box.
There was one dance
they wore green
tutu's to their knees and
they
looked like
Christmas Tree Cookies
dancing on a white cake~
They all sparkled
like Sugar...

At the entrance of the gift shop
my heart raced like a child...

Inside was like Magic....

French Library at FrenchBlue!

I can't wait another minute to

share with you!!

FrenchBlue & Co.

just added a NEW floor

specializing in 18th & 19th Century

French books!

You must come see Here!

Inspired from

Corey at Tongue in Cheek

and more than ever

from the old book stores

in Paris...

The mystery of what
all these beautiful books
must say?
My hunts at the flea markets,

quickly
turned into a passionate search for
Old Paris Books~


For me,
they are for decorating only.
They make my happy just to look
at them... they make me want to dance~
The pages are so old and so thick.
I can only dream to read in French
one day....

Along with my dreams
to walk in the gardens & parks
everyday too~

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!!!
