I'm 8 today!

I am 8 today and my brother Ollie sent me lovely flowers!! I blew out my candle cake and got treats to eat. I am slimming so I could not eat too many treats.

I like wearing my birthday hat! I had a fun Sydney-Marie day.

Have a Pink day!

Beautiful details in paintings of 18th century

It is fun to see just a small portion of a painting. The attention to detail that artists of that period maintained was amazing. Even furniture was detailed and painted into scenes.of domestic happiness.

Sometimes, I find, that the little touches in a painting the ordinary everyday object is as interesting and beautiful as the person depicted.

Les Adieux a la Reine or Farewell my Queen

Farewell My Queen is out now in the USA. It is from the book of same title by Chantal Thomas.

I have been waiting to see it. Atlanta does not have it in theaters locally only one showing far away about  an hour or more drive. So now I will wait for it to appear on DVD at Amazon  or Netflix.

I think I will enjoy it as it is told from the servant's point of view. I hear it alludes to a lesbian relationship but I really do not think that is a historical fact that can be documented in any clear way. But it helps sell a movie and offers something different or whispers about it.

So for me, I am still waiting to see Farewell  My Queen  If you have seen it drop me an email or a comment on what you thought!

Eloise at The Plaza --Happy Pink Saturday!

Eloise the little girl that lives at The Plaza Hotel in New York has a very PINK life ! Look at the fun you can have visiting the Eloise shop in The Plaza . You can have tea, get your hair done, and shop in a very pink store. What fun for everyone! If you read the series of Eloise books as a child you will love to visit this special shop.  I can't wait to go and shop for some special girls on my holiday list.

I always wished I could be locked up in The Plaza some night and "have to order" from room service and get into situations like Eloise always does.
