Pink Saturday..........avec moi

A pink daydream in the middle of Winter. I hear Paris has been cold and wet lately, but somehow the 'city of light' is always beautiful in any weather. I've been there on the hottest of Summer days (2006), on wet and chilly pre-Christmas days some years before, and way back in the '60's my dh took me there in Autumn when it was perfect for my first view of all that magnificent city has to offer.
Next time I would love to be there to see the city dressed in pink blossoms.

I love Paris in the Spring time

I love Paris in the Fall

I love Paris in the Summer when it sizzles

I love Paris in the Winter when it drizzles

Vintage hangers to which I added Paris style.

Enjoy a Winter Pink Saturday even though you may be snowed in. I love Winter but must admit Spring will be welcomed when it arrives with pink blossoms.
Thanks as always Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for hosting another Pink Saturday. Hurry on over to see the many participants sharing their pink today!

French Pinks

"Bonjour" Pink Saturday friends.

Images taken in the South of France often depict blue, every shade of blue can be seen especially on window shutters, doors etc.

While exploring the winding cobbled back streets of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in Provence recently, I happened upon this storefront which was definitely a change of pace.........................shades of pinky red and pale apricot definitely brought out the beauty of the woodwork.

And the shop......................well, when I peered through the windows it was lovely inside too, and chock-a-block with antiques and vintage treasures. The only disappointment......................it was closed for the usual long afternoon lunch break and I couldn't wait 2 hours for it to reopen!
