By Invitation Only: Daydreamer

There is no need to trade places and I am sure it is no mystery what I would like to do if I could do anything. Live in Paris, own a beautiful apartment in Paris while I am still young enough to really enjoy it! I love the idea of a slightly worn exterior with a beautiful interior awaiting a special touch.

Beautiful vintage wood floors and molding everywhere!

A sweet little Vespa to run around on...

I would shop all day at the fleas to furnish it with the most fun and beautiful pieces!

I would spend my evenings in beautiful gowns just lounging around and relaxing with friends and family, almost no need to go out!

By Invitation Only: Dream Day..

I am sure that many of you could have imagined where my dream day would take me.. Paris of course. This time with the Mr. we have not been to Paris together for over 10 years and I think a day spent with him there would be just dreamy. We would wake up to this view and have our Pain au chocolat for breakfast with a tall glass of juice.

We would then wander the palace and gardens at Versailles, where he would of course take me on a row boat on the water while I relaxed and we could chat (uninterrupted- this is a luxury).

We would then picnic on the grass with baguettes, fresh fruit, cheeses and wine. Once full we would lay back and find shapes in the passing clouds.

After a relaxing train ride back to the city we would window shop and go into some of my favorites for a real treat- Astier de Villate and always something vintage and memorable.

A nice visit to Merci would be a great idea too.. maybe a little light reading while we have a pick me up in the cafe.

A little more shopping.

A before dinner snack with a great view of the rooftops of Paris.

Finally a beautiful view of the city at sunset from Tour Eiffel.

What do you dream of?

Dreaming {by invitation}

Dreams are such a fun thing. I have so many but there is one that keeps jumping out at me. I think it maybe more of a wish than a dream but I am truly not sure what the difference is any more.

I dream of having a wonderful place in France to spend time in with my family, when I say time I mean real time where we eat together outside, we cook together, take hikes and walks and learn about the surrounding areas. A home base to travel to new worlds together, just us, just for fun!

This beautiful home would be filled with my favorite of all favorites! Astier de Villatte dishes and furnishings mixed with amazing French finds from Brocantes and local artisans. Things would be striped down and natural just like the surroundings and the food. It would be amazing we would cook and read.
