Choupette and White Wedneday

Karl Lagerfeld has a cat now. She just turned one and has had much media attention in the fashion press.

Choupette is the apple of Karl's eye and he even employees two maids ( a day and a night one) to care for her. She goes to the vet for check ups every ten days. He thinks her bad behavior is cute. In other words, he adores her. She likes to sleep on his vintage linens, eat at the table with him--she eats her own food but it up on the table. 

Everyone is surprised that he is such a doting father.  He is artist why wouldn't he love his kitten? Who knew Karl would be a "cat person"?

A look back at some old Sadler Wells ballet troupe programs. Sadler Wells was a British dance troupe. I had the pleasure of seeing Sadler Wells Sleeping Beauty production in Clearwater, Fl in the mid 1980's it was stunning. Sadly Sadler Wells is no longer. these programs came from EBay and are very old. I love to look thru them see old ads and some of the fashions are quite up to date still.

Laduree for me!!

I adore Laduree  I adore everything about  it-- the pretty shop, the logo, the pastries, the food, the ribbons, the carriage vendor cart in the airport in Paris, the totes and the gift items.

Since I did not get to go to Paris this year I wanted to bring some Laduree to me!! Greedy Pink Girl!

Japan has several Laduree shops now and they often get things before other countries or different things. I bought these two Laduree scarfs and the little makeup tote from Japan. Things arrive quickly from Japan to US addresses. The swan scarf was  irresistible to me since I love swans so much and swans also remind me of ballet which I also love.

So until I can go to Laduree I had it come to me!

No place like home--if it is white

 I am on a self-imposed plan to lighten up! No not my mood --my home. I want to repaint and use pale pale pink and whites and generally lighten the rooms . Maybe slipcover some sofas that are in taupe with a white washable slipcover but choosing a  fabric that is a bit formal too.

The above rooms all caught my eye-- I keep showing the photos to Pink Boy hoping he will jump on board my lighten up train. Even our birdhouse in the garden is white and has white clematis blooming around it. The birds are on board!!

I will keep you updated and show before and after photos if I ever get to redo the living room and hallways.I am obsessed with white! I love white furniture, white animals, white food (mainly white desserts) white flowers and white table linens

Shameless promotion and Marie Antoinette

If Marie Antoinette were alive today she would be wrapping her gifts and sending cards from Paper Nosh. My blogger pal Paulette has the most creative, classy and " Oh so Marie!" store on Etsy. Here is the link:

Since I love to pretend I live in 18th century France these wrapping papers fit right into my fantasy life. 

Last Christmas (Pinkmas at my house) I had Paulette make me some MA monogrammed gift wrap.It was so pretty. Now she has come out with  new wrap and tags and pretty invitations too --all Marie related and so elegant. My very pink holiday season will be even prettier using the new wrap and tags on my gifts. I love everything Paulette creates!! I just had to do a post about these new products. I can't wait to wrap gifts this year! Order early she is one busy lady
Enjoy Pink Saturday:

This is my new china that is an old Minton pattern called Cockatrice. I have wanted to have it for years and have over the years collected a few pieces here and there. First time I saw it was in one of Carolyn Roehm's entertaining books in green I researched and found out it was Minton and then the quest began for the pink. The pink in good condition is hard to come by.

I just had a birthday and around my birthday I noticed a big set of it for sale on Ebay. I told my husband and he bid and got the big set. The set came from an estate in San Diego and the seller wrote that it looks brand new -- the previous owners never used it!! I use all the things I collect but this is a little miracle to find so much at once at a good price and in brand new condition.

Tonight we are having a lovely couple over for dinner and I get to use my new/old china! I can use it also with about four other patterns I have.I love to mix pieces.

Have a Pink day!
