Versailles: The gardens

 

In celebration of our One Kings Lane sale I thought it might be nice to share a few more pictures from our trip to Paris from the spring.  We had a chance to visit Versailles again and the gardens never fail to amaze me.  I love the variety and the simplicity of the beauty created here.  They sky is my all time favorite part about this place.  Each time we have visited we have been greeted with the most beautiful sky and brisk sun drenched evenings.  I like to stay until well after the Palace closes so that we can enjoy the gardens basically alone, aside from a few stragglers and the French who are there to exercise.  

 

 

 Please take a minute to visit our sale- there are so many great pieces left!!

Long weekend...

 

We spent the long weekend in Northern California with friends and it was a wonderful break from reality...  Lazy mornings, wine tasting, beautiful weather, long dinners and fresh air.

I will be daydreaming about it all week while I am in the office!

Wishing you a wonderful Monday!

getaway... kauai

 

I am daydreaming of our trip this week.  As summer winds down all I can think of is the fun we have had and that the late nights and sleepy mornings are going to disappear so quickly.  Oh how I am going to miss them.  We visited Kauai in July just the four of us and it was so amazing.  We fell in love with the island all over again.  This is a little bit of our trip and the amazing beaches and sites...  (I am sparing you all of the food pictures that I took!)

Happy Friday my friends!

weekend wishes

 

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far!  It is going really nicely here.  The weather is perfect and I am doing a little "summer cleaning" as Spring completely passed me by.  I found out yesterday that our container has left France and I could not be more excited!  It means a lot of work but hopefully fun work to come.  Keeping our fingers crossed that it all goes well!

Just a few things that caught my eye this week ...

Another fantabulous looking lemon tart recipe.. (I say looking because I like a good photo with my recipes)

I am completely smitten with Jenny's art..  simply wonderful to have an original piece!

Would love to spend a little time here.

Lunch at Merci's Used Book Cafe

This is the first trip that I have gotten to visit the Used book cafe at Merci.  Each time we have been running late and closing down the store..  This time I was able to visit Merci, lets just say often (read 5 or 6 times), because it was just around the corner from our apartment.  If I lived there all the time I would be poor.. I love their stuff and my apartment would be amazing!!  We had a chance to have a late lunch there one afternoon and it was perfect!  We sat in my dream spot by the window over looking the door so I could see the people coming and going.  The waiter was sweet and the food was wonderful.  I loved it and vowed to stop again during out trip but never made it back to eat there. 

That day the little mini was getting a make over and so was the shop, which was super fun to watch unfold over the few times that we visited.

This was by far one of the best things I have ever eaten.  Amazing and perfect.

Don't miss our upcoming sale @greigeshopsale on instagram!
