the only good thing about winter
pinterest.com/pin/38702878021836140
wait, is there anything good about winter? oh yes, right…shots of paris all wrapped up in sleet and snow! bonjour dear friends. it’s even cold here in miami so i thought we could share some gorgeous pictures of our favorite city when she’s chilly and imagine the roaring fires, the scents wafting through the apartments and the happiness it is to arrive home after trudging through a long day!

sorry i’m a day late for yesterday’s giveaway but joseph convinced me to play hooky and since my new motto is why postpone joy? i was obligated to take a mini road trip and enjoy the day.
(not sure what the credit is for this one, it looks super old and is one of my eternal faves)

everything else took a back seat.

Meant to add that we must think alike as we have a reproduction of your “fave” photo hung in our bathroom. I looked to see if there was a name but no luck. Maybe there’s a credit on the back but the photo/frame is way too large and heavy for me to lift off and look!! I’ll let you know if I can get my husband to lift it off for a peak!

Trust the French to make even cold and dreary look so inviting. That one photo, the slightly faded, with the frayed edge of the Eiffel in the distance is so enchanting. I hear Edith Piaf when i gaze at it. I feel the chill of the air and I think of Pierre or Claude waiting for me in our apartment with wine and chocolate and some freshly baked bread. Mmmmmm.

I just returned from Paris in Jan/Feb where I went to celebrate my birthday with a friend who also has a January birthday. We both are former french teachers and have been to Paris and all over France many times during our lives. We followed Jan’s Paris from the Heart walking tours and were constantly amazed at how wonderful the places were and the same for the shopping and restaurants. We honestly had the best time ever and I can’t wait to get some more copies of her books to give to anyone going to Paris. People were asking us in restaurants how they could buy them. She did an amazing job and au chapeau to her…. Hat’s off for those who don’t know a lot of french. susan
