Swan tureen Birthday Gift

Today is my birthday ( I'm like Jack Benny holding at 39 ha) and look what my wonderful girls got for me on Ebay. Who knew cats and dogs could open a Paypal account and using the mouse ( the cats did that part) clicked on this swan tureen!? It is my second swan tureen the first one is different and has a crack so I can't actually use it for food.

I love this one because it is all white no stupid flowers or weird colored beak. The tray is in perfect shape and it was made in Italy in 1950-60's.  Right now she is resting on the side board but soon will be a centerpiece on the table.

I have wanted one like this for a long time always checking ebay and other auction sites.

Merci to my cats and dogs and

Have a Pink day!

Swans still appear in my dreams

I dream about swans quit often almost as much as I dream about Paris and shopping!

Swans are so beautiful and, to me, magical. These images I found just make me want my own swans.

Dream of swans and sunsets and Paris. How can I combine all three?

Have a Pink day!

Karl I disagree...

I love Karl Lagerfeld-- his style, his designs, his many talents and I am amazed at how many languages he speaks.  I usually agree with his opinions on most things but on the subject  of swans I must disagree.

I have tamed swans, I have fed many swans and have never had a bad experience. In fact, one snowy day I fell on the slope to the pond and the swans came up out of the water and hovered over me making sure I was alright.

I think he must have encountered them while they were nesting. Male swans can be very violent and territorial when their are eggs in the nest.

Not even Karl can change my minds about swans. J'adore les cygnes Monsieur Lagerfeld.

Have a Pink day!

White Wednesday I love it

What a joy to see swans with wings  a flutter

And the joy of seeing a ballerina with lifted arms almost taking flight

Both are mingled in my mind 

Joining in on White Wednesday
