escaping to reality
hi guys! i had to cut out for a couple days after starting to fizzle out from techno overload. but i’ve been furiously working on some pretty major stuff i’ll tell you about soon. for now, just wanted to say hey and share a few of the many bloggers who pass through each day leaving bits of beauty in their wake. there’s just nothing that compares to the inspiration other bloggers post each day. i live for this infinite spring of real life lives and wish i could visit each and every one. actually i’m promising myself to do that a little more of that each day. after all, what fun would all this ‘work’ be if there wasn’t be some blogging reward at the end?
hope you enjoy these old and new friends!

OK I’ll take the top picture, where do I sign the papers? And could we stipulate that the rose carpet further down gets installed next to a fireplace in there? Thanks! I’ll be picking up the keys on Monday!

Bonjour Claudia!
I was just over at Bonjour Romance and was reading your comments about my journey with my daughter in our Etsy shop to honor my father. Thank you for your lovely comments, it means so much to us. It is so touching to see how much Mimi over at Bonjour Romance believes in us and our mission. It is wonderful to meet you through her blog… I have become truly smitten with your blog! I just love everything French and your sense of style is amazing. I just love Betty Lou Phillips too. When I moved in to my current French Country home I couldn’t get enough of her books…now I can’t get enough of your blog.
Thanks for making my day! I hope you can come and visit me. Have a wonderful weekend!!
XoXo,
Gail

Hi Claudia,
Congrats on being featured in In Style, I love the lucite handles!
I can’t wait to hit all of these blogs, they are mostly new to me and I can’t wait to see them! I don’t know how you keep up, look up, and hook up, with all of these blogs, business ventures, and well, just all of it. Whew, I don’t know how you do it!
Much love and best!
xoxo

I just read your comment on Edison bulb and I am with you all the way. What governments are doing is such a farce and an outrage as the mercury level is far worse than the electrical waste from incandescent bulbs. i was speaking to my lighting manufacturers in Belgium and they are working really hard on alternative and attractive bulbs. France is switching this year and we have I believe 2 more years in the State.
Love your post, the wonderful freash colors is all I needed on a gray rainy morning, Francine
