Snippets 2

Snippets

I love that word!

According to the dictionary a ‘snippet’ is:  a small piece snipped off, a small bit,

scrap, morsel, or fragment

Just for your info as I’m sure you will need to know this -

It is also:  a small or mischievous person.  
 Hmmm, could be referring to me…?

Okay, now that bit is settled. 

 Snippet # 1 

Once again I was ‘browsing’ the antiques and brocantes,

and happened upon several petite treasures.

   

A dusty pink jewelry box caught my eye

Luckily there were smaller treasures tucked inside

Two golden filgree lockets, ivory buckle, tie clip, silver charms,

ladies pocket-knives?!  Quite a varied collection!

Snippet # 2

I found a few other vintage lovelies,

and then I remembered I am way overdue for a giveaway!

I’ll be posting the details this week. 

I hope you like it!

Window Shopping

I thought you may enjoy a few Parisian window scenes.

Once again I must apologize for the reflection.

The cascades of blooms are paper flowers. 

I thought of the talented Noel at Fanciful Designs,  who creates beautiful paper creations.

Tea Anyone?

 Tea is popular here in Paris.

This is a good thing for me since I’m still getting used to the very strong café.

 

Christofle is a good place to start…love the classic shape of this teapot

Now I’m off to find a quiet spot to work on the online magazine.

The name is Belle Inspiration - what do you think?

 

(Here is a peek of the first cover)

The web site should be up in July

The September e-magazine launch is still on schedule 

So far so good –

Thank you again for all the encouragement.

You are all incredible!

Happy Father’s Day

I had THE best father in the world

I know.  Every little girl thinks the same

 

This image reminds me of all the sweet times we had together

My Daddy is in Heaven

celebrating with my Mother,

but not a day goes by that I don’t think of him.

Happy Father’s Day to all the great Dads out there!

“The greatest gift I ever had came from God, I call him Dad!”

Parisian Promenade

We went for a long walk this weekend,

passing some postcard perfect scenes. 

 

This huge terrace was literally overflowing with roses

I never tire of the incredible architecture

A tranquil spot right under the tourist crowds of the Eiffel Tower

I always smile when I see this  horse drawn cart

The French Eye of Design

Jeanne-Aelia is a French woman, born in Tunisia and living in the States. 

Her French Eye is used in interior design.  Her blog is filled with beautiful images and

lots of ideas that will have you dreaming of a perfect space of your own.

With this award I am to post photos of seven of my favorite shoes.

Unfortunately, we are in the process of moving and I can’t seem to locate my shoe boxes just now!

I promise to snap some pictures as soon as they are located.
