Enjoy your Sunday!

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. I'm pooped. I mean, I'm truly drained.
Anyone else have a tough week?

If so, it's my sincere hope that both you and I spend some time today making all the hard work worth while and treating ourselves to something nice...something beautiful. I think I'll go collect pine cones today and fill a few of my apothecary jars and maybe select only the most beautiful leaves I find and press them into my favorite books to discover in a few years when I go to reread them. I think I'll also hug my husband a little longer than normal and remind him how lucky I think I am to have him in my life...because after a week like the last one, he needs to know he's kinda my sun and moon. Oh! I almost forgot! Don't you just love this Tory Burch "Trike". And while this might make a lot of sense in Central Park or on the side of the Seine...I bet I'm gonna get some crazy looks as I ride this down Locust on my way to work. Honk if ya see me!!! ;)

AHHHH, PARIS! JE T'AIME.

For as long as I can remember I've had a love affair with all things French. After two trips to Paris I am only more smitten than ever...as a matter of fact, there are some days that I spend hours thinking of the city, the architecture, the people, the language and of course the food. I continue to be inspired by the images below and though my camera skills leave a lot to be desired, I hope you can appreciate the beauty that so often brings tears to my eyes and inspires so much of my personal design sensibilities.

Ugh, I hate that when I downloaded these the dates were on there! Anyone have an idea how to remove them without photo shopping?
