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!!

greige in Paris

 

I took just a minute to peek at my photos from Paris this weekend in between getting ready for some presentations I have today and I really need to share some of the fun with you!  This is a little peek at the semi private tour we took when we visited Versailles this time.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that our container will actually be leaving France this week too!

Wishing you a wonderful start to the short Holiday week!

France once again...

 

It is official... I am getting ready for another trip to Paris in a few weeks and we are bringing back our first container.  I am a little nervous I will admit but excited at the same time.  We will stay in Paris and shop the flea markets there for the first week mixed with much site seeing and relaxing around the city, then it is off to Normandy to shop with Sharon from My French Country Home.  I am so excited to see her again and experience a bit more of her amazing everyday life!

These are just a few of the photos that we snapped on our last trip, some you may have seen and some are new.  I was just going through them and thought I would share some of my current favorites with you.  I have a few more posts lined up from our last adventure to share before we leave too!

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?

Please take a moment to visit the other ladies and see what their dream days hold..

Enjoy this little bit of a day dream from the gardens at Versailles.

Versailles in the garden

The gardens at Versailles were so expansive and amazing.  I cannot even imagine the creative minds that it took to make such a beautiful statement.  I plan on spending a little time tending the gardens this weekend here at home.

What about you?  What are you up to this weekend?
