Life Moves Pretty Fast

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”  ―  Ferris Bueller It's so true. Last week I was checking out my many rose bushes and wondering when they would bloom. They seem late this year.  A few days later I was outside chasing one of my little dogs. She is losing her hearing and sight, but I swear her little legs are running faster than ever. It's never been like her to run off. While I was running after her (or more like hobbling and limping) I noticed a couple of bushes with a few roses.  After I got the pup settled and inside, I went back out to cut a few roses. The bees even took pity on me and allowed me to cut some of their sage blossoms. I placed the pretty little vase from my Mother's collection by a few Paris mementos.

No, I do not think I am a Francophile, Partie Deux

Continued from Partie Un 

Honestly, I don't believe I set out to bring into my home French-inspired objects, books, and even food. Yes, I set out with the purpose to bring into my home French wine, but that's all. Just wine.

Ignore the Eiffel Tower plaque and the fleur-de-lis (symbol for French royalty) hanger for the hand towel. Purely a coincidence. After all, I needed something to hang guest towels. 


The little ashtrays and miniature pitcher with the Limoges trademark. I picked them up and the little Demi-Jour Houbigant Paris talc container because I thought they were cute. 


Just a little shelf filled with vintage Eiffel Tower memorabilia. old French perfume bottles. and compacts. I just thought they were cute.  



Cobalt blue Eiffel Tower and vintage cobalt Evening in Paris perfume vials. Yeah, I thought they were cute, too. 

So, I wanted my guests to dream about Champagne whether they were in the bathtub or sitting on the... 

Stay tuned for Partie Three with other photos of purely coincidental French-inspired home decor. 


Wine Recommendation: Anything blanc and most of all, French
