<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pink Boy bought me a swan fascinator to wear in the Easter Parade! He also gave me the Too Faced Dream Queen set which features swans!!

<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The swan tree has been the main tree since 1988 or so when I purchased after Christmas on sale 25 Kurt Adler swan ornaments I still use them every year and have added many more swan and ballet and Paris themed ornaments to the large tree.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All these dahlias are stunning. I have just begun to grown them and have ordered more pink ones for next year. Dahlias are good for cut flowers so they go back in my area for my cutting garden I've found several growers that I like: Frey Dahlias, Swan Island and Floret Farm Fairly easy care. Hope you are thinking ahead to your spring garden.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">their new book, <i><b>Time Time, the Art of Taking Tea</b></i>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a gorgeous book with great photos and lovely recipes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pretty graphics. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Laduree takes the simple act drinking tea and elevates it to an art form. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They share my philosophy of making the mundane special which in turn makes your life more interesting and enjoyable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I have loved giving a tea party since I first got married. This love of tea time has motivated me to assemble a file of wonderful recipes for any manner of tea fetes and create a collection of fancy silver tea strainers, tea balls, pastry tongs all the little objects that you use for taking tea. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also enjoy taking tea at various tea rooms, salons when we travel. Some of my happiest memories revolve around tea shared with friends here and on holiday.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, after looking for about 2 years I finally found a cute, plush swan rocker for the girls to enjoy.I will put it near the swan tree next Pinkmas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Here are Lola and Poppy-Marie testing their new rocker.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought this swan was cute and not too weird looking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I added some pearls for the swan Princess. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> We haven't named her yet. Lola really likes it she sat in it a long time,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They will be so spoiled.. First their pink car at Pinkmas and now a swan rocker!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I saw the swan on an instagram post and hurried out to look for it. The price was great too.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well you've seen a previous photo of Snowflake Marie Mouser under the tree and her is little Armand Louis our little 5 pound silver shaded Persian under the tree the first day I set it up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> He ran right to it and wrapped himself in tulle and fell asleep!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Poppy didn't really bother the tree either just walked around and looked at the packages. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was her first Pinkmas! She is 9 months old.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Every year I am amazed that all our cats and dogs seem to really enjoy the tree and not play with the ornaments or the packages.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> They just sit and look at the lights and feel cozy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We are lucky. I do have to put their wrapped gifts up high they know tissue paper wrapping means a gift for them!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Soon the trees will be taken down and they, and I , have another year to wait and to plan changes and embellishments.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I couldn't help myself saw this pink car at Target and ordered it for the babies. So far Poppy-Marie and Armand(Persian cat) are the two that are most interested in it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The lights light up and it plays music! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However,it has to be pushed or pulled no remote! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was ready before Pinkmas but not early enough to use it this year. I may do gift tags with it and perhaps on wrapping paper, place cards still thinking ahead.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Everything on it is something I love. Only thing I wish I had added was a Persian cat. My peonies and swana and vintage hand fans, rococo frame and ribbon all things that are a part of my life. 'Looking forward to a New Year, more travel, more time with friends.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is what it looked like while I was there this June 2016</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was one of highlights of our trip to London visiting this wonderful and beautiful tea parlour/bakery. Peggy and her husband run it and have a baking academy She does lovely cookies,, and magical cakes for celebrities. The hot cocoa made with organic milk is so yummy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted the advent calendar cookies but she doesn't ship outside of London area.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next year I am going to recreate the pastel garland around my front door at holiday time. I can't wait to see how she decorates the shop for Spring! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is in Belgravia area of London> We went two times while we were there so delicious. Peggy also had cake and cookie books out. I love the shade of pink and inquired it is a special paint she has made in Germany for the shop.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Her packaging is also delightful. Hope you get to visit and I hope I get to go back soon.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Well,these pictures didn't display in the order which I wanted them but you can see the new chinoiserie secretary we found at Scott's yesterday. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It came from a Palm Beach estate and I love chinoiserie and pink and green so it was perfect. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a belated birthday gift from Pink Boy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have filled it with treasures (to me anyway) and writing materials. It is between our dining area and front room. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know cranes are symbols of longevity and prosperity and the butterfly is usually representative of rebirth or of the soul. I know the scenes are telling a story just not sure what that is. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is lovely and I will use it often.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My birthday is just a few days away and I bid on this online and got it!! </span></div>

<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It arrived just in time.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't think the box is very old maybe 1930-50ish fabric inside is a print I have seen before. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Reminds me a bit of Faberge boxes with the pink enamel.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>This is our new Maltese Poppy-Marie. </b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She was born March 10th so she is almost 5 months old</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have had her since early June. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She is very bouncy and fun, she has potty trained herself and she is a good little eater. Her first class in Puppy Manners is coming up soon. We have been getting her used to wearing the little pink harness and leash and walking a bit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We need to stop her from jumping on the other 2 dogs we have they are small like her but older and so do not want to be jumped on. Sydney-Marie is 13 now and too old for rough housing!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We adore this breed and Poppy is our 6th Maltese. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She loves everyone and is healthy. She really thinks about things and makes her toys do things like stay within an area or stacks them up or pushed one while holding another in her mouth. Pretty cute what ever she does!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is such a lovely old painting, the shade of pink, the rosy cheeked little girl</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had my heart set on this and I bid as high as I could go and did not get it. That is trouble with auction buying you are more often than not disappointed, unless you have very, very deep pockets you lose more often than win the item.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She would have fit perfectly in my living room I had spot for her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So my search continues I will seek out more auction houses and check all my local antique shops I want something from that era 19th century woman or girl child oil preferably with pink in it or wearing pink. I hope whomever bought her enjoys her.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The town of Versailles is much more than just the home of the chateau where French Kings lived and hunted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a pretty little town about 40 minutes from Paris.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> We had the great pleasure of staying at the Trianon Palace Hotel. a Waldorf Astoria property.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The hotel also is home to a spa run by Guerlain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The air inside the hotel is scented with Guerlain parfum. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has two onsite restaurants both excellent. And the property is right next to the palace grounds --you can see the goats and sheep grazing in the fields. When you walk out the front door of the hotel and turn right you are right at the Queen's entrance to the chateau grounds.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The grounds are open even when the palace is not. We had fun walking around on Monday when it was relatively empty.We rented a golf cart and went all around and fed the swans.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was fun walking around the town and discovering cute antique shops. It was also a nice change of pace from the bustle and traffic of Paris.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I want to go back and spend more time in the town.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The cakes, cookies, hot chocolate are so yummy. It was still decorated from the May Chelsea Flower Show decorating. I could have just remained there for a week and been happy.</span></div>
