and, exhale
the great thing about important meetings is that they force you to do what you always put off. now i have it and can build on it, whew! as for the meeting, well hey, i don’t want to jinx it, and i did mention the blog…but we had a lot of laughs and great ideas were tossed around. so thanks again for your pickmeup, will keep you posted!
i don’t really have the luxury to write today (as usual) so i again will make it petite and sweet! all the pics posted today are of the apartments i visited in paris and recommend. if you’re going, definitely check into it, you’ll feel like a local. i loved every second of it! of course fresh flowers make all the difference, dahling!

now i have to get my site to be what i know it could be, making pages for these and getting it PhAtTeNd uP!! if only i’d studied html instead of art history! if you want more info on any of these apts, check the sites below. they’re all really reasonable!
and i’m not so into kitchens but this one did get me!
i didn’t take any of the above pics. they’re from

oh yeah, and one more, this one i did take the pics but should have let her! she shoots for Elle Decor and rents out this space, wild to find in paree!
more later!

Well done on your meeting. Hope some exciting things are in store for you!
What wonderful apartments ~ where are they located? Are any in the 1st? My husband may need to travel to Paris on business in November. His meetings would be downtown, but we have stayed in the 1st arrondisment and enjoy that location very much. If it works out, he will be busy all day and I would be free to roam the beautiful streets of Paris at my leisure for 7 lovely days. One of these apartments might be ‘parfait!!’

darling you’re killing me. It’s Monday, the weekend is SO far away and I’m just reading this. This is a post to read and luxuriate over on a slow Saturday morning. Goodness! But I do appreciate the moment of Paris you allowed me to savor … we may need to go to Paris for Christmas after all. Stunning!
