It's Still February! No It's Not!!

Hello Friends!

Sooo, did March come in like a lion or a lamb where you live?
It came in like a lion here in San Diego.
Rain!
Wind!
Temperatures in the 50s!
Actually, that's kind of fun for us :)
My best wishes for you all dealing with
the crazy cold and snowy winter this year!

I had wanted to get this post out while it was still February,
as I still have a few pretty Valentine pics to share.

The fabulous Vignettes hosted a wonderful event
for Valentine's Day,  
Fifty Shades of Pink!

Vintage Valentine boxes:







Look at this altered book!


Pretty pink dresses:



Fabulous bling:



Look at the fabulous bodice on this dress,
created from vintage rhinestone jewelry!



I would love to have this Eiffel Tower
(it lights up!).

Because this shop is literally a few blocks from the ocean,
they incorporate sea treasures in many of their creations:



Yep.  Jaw-droppingly gorgeous!

For our Valentine's Day, we took naps and stayed up late to watch
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Not exactly a rom com date movie.
But so good!

The next night we went to the Hard Rock hotel
to babysit our adorable grandson
while his Mom and Dad went out for date night.
 They made a cute Valentine for me,
which I can't find right now,
and brought us gold-dusted macarons from a fancy OC bakery:


Next time I'll have some new creations to share with you!

And freebies...
I wish you cloudless skies and happy hours:

More Paris!! Window Shopping!! Creations and Freebies!!

Hello Friends!

Well, clearly I can't be trusted.
In my last post I promised to post more Paris photos
in a few days...

And it's been a bit more than a few days!!

But here I am!

I thought it would be fun to do a little
window shopping in Paris.
Which in French is called lèche-vitrines.
Which literally translates to "window licking" :D

Let's start with something yummy:


Look at this cute bridal shoppe window with mini wedding dresses: 


Somehow my I-phone slipped into sepia mode,
but I think it suits these wedding dresses.



 How cute are these I-phone cases:



Art gallery window with mosaics:


 







Time for a treat:
Baccarat crystal vase with giant paper flowers:

Pierre Frey fabulous fabrics:





Love the look of these falling stars:
Mmmm...boulangerie:






This store was filled to the brim with KITTY handbags:

Ladurée!


The sweet thing about Ladurée is that there are multiple locations but each shoppe's
windows are decorated differently:







 

Another gallery window:

 
My new favorite shoppe in Paris, Mathilde M. :


 Hmmm, this warrants a closer look:





 Okay, must go inside this one:



 What a beautiful shoppe, 
everything is shades of gray and white
with vintage images abound!
  
OK, time for a little something:

Aah, yes.
Love, love, love sidewalk cafés!

Time to share a few creations of mine:

Might as well stay in French mode.
I participated in blissfulART's August "I love Paris" swap,
which was a card and ATC/tag swap.



Paris themed ATC:

The July swap theme was Red, White and Blue. French colors!
I created this tag and card inspired by French General's fabrics:

 
 For some reason the colors are off in this next picture,
and the contrast is very sharp here
but much softer in person:






Ooooh, just one more little shoppe!
Wouldn't you just love to pop in here the next time
you had a craving for a macaron or sorbet:









OK, some Paris freebies:
