I am feeling blue today...................with a chance of pink

I know it is hard to believe but I do own other things that are not pink,such as this delicious above pictured painting on tin of some glorious angels swirling in the clouds(might I note pink is in the above photo)......................
...............and this pretty bunch of architectural salvage pieces that I affectionately call whos its and whats its with just a hint of bleu(hey were is the pink?).........
............. and these darling little music books that sometime in there life got covered in bleu(dare I say pink could lie beneathe?)
....for me all roads lead to back to pink.These candy bags came from a little stand in the south of France. I will give some away if I get 10 comments and personal emails do not count. Be blessed today even of your blue..........I will throw in the pink.

Happy Mothers Day !!!

My morning was wonderful and amazing. It started with the beautiful story of Moses' faithful mother. You can read about her in Exodus 2 or go online to Chuck Swindoll. Talk about a woman of faith.
Then, my husband brought this to me in bed......
he said"I have to tell you, I think this breakfast might be worthy of a blog photo"(he was right)....
then he gave me this darling antique piece of french sweetness for our bedroom....
... and finally the BEST part mothers' day is those handmade notes from your kids....
...when they tell you how they feel from their hearts.
I long to be worthy for them to call me mom. It is the biggest joy in my life besides the knowledge that I have my identity as a daughter of God. I am broken and redeemed, created in the image of love, made to find my way in life with him as my leader. All my children have a relationship in process with Jesus.It is indeed a happy mothers day for me.

French Pink (Rose) Part trois

I am tellling you I am not the only one crazy for french pink....................the frenchies themselves even put on their toilet paper. TOILET PAPER!!!! You can get it by the sheet..............
...... or on rolls(great for packing the brocante goodies in the old suitcase).....
..... they even have pink sugar.....PINK SUGAR!!!!
....and of course they have frothy french pink tutus like this one that did a Échappé all the way across the ocean to live at my house in my little shop.....................Really if you cannot give me one ooh la la over that I just question your sanity(o.k it is my sanity in question but we all know it feels better to shift the blame.)
.....and last but not least is my pink diamond ring that Pierre gave me under the eiffel tower for my 40th birthday.(o.k it is not french but it is pink and I did get it in France and it is sitting on a French ring sizer, so just work with me a little bit would you?!)



My prayer for you today is that no matter what color makes your heart sing that it just sings.Thanks for sharing my favorite color with me , Avoir mos amies

French Pink (Rose) Part deux

I should wish to tell you french pink is practical in every way. Like the above petinque balls(french lawn bowling balls) great for getting your morning exercise in with style..........
then you can get all your bills paid with this escargot encrier(a place to dip your fountain pen shaped like a snail)........
and last but not least these opera glasses will help you be prepared at a moments notice to go see the opera with your husband(hopefully in paris) I think I need to have part trois tomorrow,non?

French Pink (Rose) Part un

Yes, I own a french pink abreuvoir that little birds can sip water out of and it is one of my favorite things............................. unless.................
I stop to think about my french pink books with peeling and flakey spines then I think they might be my favorite.....................but then if I get thirsty
my favorite thing might be this ginormous paris pink porcelaine mug......

But then if I go sit down in my front room next to my french pink letters, they might become my new favorite thing.............. look for part deux tomorrow for more of a view through my french rose colored glasses. Can you cheat on inanimate objets? Just wondering....
