I’ve been Tagged - Photo Number 16


I’ve been tagged. 
This time by the gorgeous Yvonne @
my new blog title 
Yvonne’s blog is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds.
Her weekly menus are a delicious combination of
easy to prepare dishes and healthy ingredients,
topped off with pretty table scapes and beautiful images.
                                                                                                                 
   Part of being tagged is I need to re-post my 6th blog photo. 
I did post that one few weeks ago, so I thought I'd re-post the 16th photo instead.
SPices redo c

This colorful selection of spices was found at the Salon du Chocolat
in Paris last November.
This yearly event is a magnet for chocolate lovers

I know you are thinking - so where's the chocolate?

that is if you can withstand the temptation!

Oh my sweet Mimi...how lovely it is to know that you enjoy my blog post....one cannot go wrong when using France as the backdrop for dreams....I hope our weather is good so I will have the proper lighting to take some pictures of our home....it is a small place, but both of us have used our imaginations, sweat, patience and hard-earned resources to transform this little house into a place that we call home.

Thank you for always visiting my sweet, and I bid you a romantic and unforgettable weekend. I am always here, waiting to hear the lastest on the project. Bisous, Anita
