Tis the season for me to bake pink treats for friends and neighbors. I love to bake and  I love to share it.After all I do not want to be the only chubby person around!

Cookies , buche de Noel, meringues, fruitcake are all on my baking list this year. I will keep you posted on all the pink baking.

Raining in Paris

Paris in the rain is still Paris so still wonderful. I would love the pink umbrella too. November is usually a damp month in Paris. I prefer to go in fall or early summer,

Pink is everywhere

Pink is joy- Pink is a lifestyle

Everywhere I go I see pink. I do think it is more prevalent now than ever before.  I hope it stays popular. I have loved pink since I was a toddler. I wore a lot of pink-- still do! 

Find what makes you happy, do it, go towards it, hang out with people who are happy.

 Life is too short to hate your job. You can change anything and make it better. For me, being positive and having a lot of pink around me makes me stay positive--it is a sort of perpetuating cycle pink equals happy happy equals pinkness. Ha  

Find your pink!

A rosy dinner for a friend

Even though it is fall I still use my pink china and love to find pink roses and peonies at Whole Foods or Fresh Market. My friend stopped for the night on her way to Florida and I wanted to make her a nice dinner and use my pretty things for her. 

I made the floral arrangement by placing strips of clear scotch tape across the container and inserting the flowers in the holes it made. that way it doesn't move around on you. I love to do the flowers.

It is fun to use my monogrammed trivet too. By the time we ate it was dark so I wanted a lot of votive candles on the table. A little bubbly and good friends--what could be better?

Textile art swan

I just adore this image I found on line. I believe it is the work of the person who has the blog Lovely Textiiles-- a UK blogger. I wonder if I could try to make this? It is soooo pretty. Swan obsession continues I find so many lovely swan things. Some are way beyond my budget-- silver swan centerpieces, huge swan planters etc Marie Antoinette had swans at her little farm and they still have swans at Versailles.

Little Paris street scenes

 Marais building so pretty

 Sometimes you need fresh fruit when traveling.

 My favorite bridge spot lions

 We love this iconic bookstore and the restaurant next door

I love this way of finding a room mate or selling a car! Saw this several places in city

Paris in small scenes

The joys of Paris are many and many of them are little things. The pretty gutter spout, the shop window displays, ironwork on balconies, my favorite ornate bridge. We always notice new ( to us) things about Paris on every trip.

That is all part of the appeal and why we return so often.

Have a Pink day!
