A Night at the Opera

  Le Palais Garnier opera house looks like a wedding cake

The Garnier is primarily used for ballet and dance.

Most of the operas in Paris are performed at the new and modern Opera Bastille

Sink into the richness of the velvet interior

The stunning ceiling by Chagall. 

A colorful contrast to the red and gold opulence

It would be so much fun if you could join me? 

Just one problem.

What to wear?? 

 

Either of these gowns will work don’t you think?

Le Romance des Fleurs

  Flowers are always romantic.  The gorgeous blooms above are the result of my honey's green thumb.   He carefully transported them by train from a garden in the south of France to celebrate my first birthday in Paris - (sigh!) - did I mention what a romantic he is? 

More fabulous blossoms from my gardener man, and they made a perfect addition to my blog header.  This brilliant pink rose is breathtaking.

 Beautiful  fragrant bouquets like these can be found all over Paris.  This is a good thing since my thumb is not so green.  

 Decorating la maison with fresh flowers is a luxury that never fails to inspire and make me smile.  

I dried the petals from those first lovely roses my honey gave me.  I keep them in my mother's  crystal rose bowl.  The colors are still vivid and each time I look at them I think to myself,  "How lucky can a girl get?"
