Pink and Green Saturday and pinkness all around

I love these ceramic egg boxes from HomeGoods if you find them buy it for me I will reimburse you
They are so me pink and green and white and a BOW!!

This little lettuce box is always out in family room which happens to be pink and green!




Happy Pink Saturday
In honor of St Patrick's Day we are doing a Pink and Green post today

Also today I need your help. If anyone finds these ceramic egg boxes ( top photo) at a HomeGoods/TJ Maxx store please buy them for me and I will reimburse you for them and shipping too. I fell in love and have gone to all of them locally to no avail. I got all I could. If you find them you can email me or leave me a comment.

The charming little ceramic houses were a purchase very early on in our marriage. We lived in Florida and I could just see them sitting on my kitchen counter top.

They have moved with us in our many relocations. Just looking at them reminds me of the sun in Florida and how grown up I felt buying things for our new apartment. I have always loved pink and just started buying things in pink for the house too, never thinking that it was odd to buy so much in pink. Pink goes with any other color I think.

Bonjour Tour Eiffel ca va?








I think she is very well. I miss her. When in Paris you see her from so many vantage points and between buildings over roof tops it is always nice to see a bit of her. On chilly days nothing is better than sitting with cocoa at a cafe with gloves on watching people go by.

Did you know she has her own web site, bien sur!? Here is the link: http://www.tour-eiffel.fr/teiffel/uk/ Now you can visit her that way too!

I seem to collect photos of her over the years. One day I will organize them all into frames and put them up or something. Looking at photos of her cheers me. I love to sit in a Paris cafe like the one above and write my postcards or read and look up and catch a glimpse of her. She is most definitely one of the most beautiful structures in the world. A French person I know says Americans are so devoted to Paris and almost obsessed with Paris-- do we wonder why? Paris is beauty and style in so many ways.

Learning about the construction and public outcry when the tower was proposed is amazing to us now.

Have a PINK day!
