A Paris Fête at Castles Crowns and Cottages


I'm joining Anita over at Castles Crowns and Cottages Blog 
for her Paris - Simply Irresistible Blog Party


Everyone is linking up to share there favorite photos of Paris. 
These shots are just a few of the reasons I love the city.

 European architecture is so spectacular. 

 I've done other posts about how details are so important 

Paris is one of those places,

That has so many little details

Everywhere you turn

This just may be the biggest detail of all 


Be sure to stop by and visit Anita's Paris Fête

Working on Issue 6


Hard to believe that we are now working on issue 6 of Belle Inspiration Magazine
Perhaps I'm a bit sentimental here, 
but I thought I'd share the covers of the first 5 issues.

September/October
 November/December

January/February

 
 March/April

May/June


I still get so excited when I see them! 
Our biggest issue was the Thanksgiving/Christmas issue that came in at an eye-popping 273 pages.  The others are between 150-170 pages.  

Merci to all the unbelievably talented writers and photographers 
who are part of The Belle Team!

P.S. I haven't forgotten the promised giveaway - recovering from a tooth infection that knocked me flat for the past week. I never take medications of any kind, and evidently what the dentist gave me did not agree with me at all.  I am not a good patient...

A French Hideaway


A Home for the Holidays

did a fabulous article in the latest issue of Belle Inspiration Magazine
highlighting her delightful family holiday home in Nice France


The beautiful apartment in the heart of Nice is available for rent this summer. 

A perfect idea would be to combine a Parisian Blogger Getaway 
with a lush holiday in Nice.

Happy Mother's Day


I have such sweet memories of my Mother.  
I wish I were heading over to spend the day with her. 
 At the moment she is far away...basking in the love and glory of Heaven. 
Walking, no running with my other best friend, my Dad.  
How happy they must be together, as they race to meet our Saviour. 
I know I will see you soon! 



Happy Mother's Day!
