Home is Where the Heart Is!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving in the US, and

a wonderful time for those in the rest of the world.

Just made it back home to France and was greeted with

beautiful Christmas lights and  decorations all over Paris!

Riding this huge ferris wheel at the Place de la Concorde
 has become a tradition for us, the view over Paris is breathtaking!!

I will be posting much more on all the pretty baubles in the boutiques
and lights illuminating the city all through the month.

All  the well wishes from all my new blogger friends before leaving on my trip to the U.S. were so kind and so very much appreciated!

I promised to keep you posted, so here are some shots of just a few pieces.  

(Please excuse the storage area in the background).

My favorite set - a gilt cane-backed settee and side chair. 

My mother and I used to rummage through antique shops

 We found some fabulous buys over the years.

This is where my love of French design and decor began.

The original silk fabric is very old but no rips or tears,
and I love it!

The cane is in perfect condition

Brocade Lounger

Hand-painted Lemonade pitcher

Rosewood console - I was too lazy to put on the marble top

Just a few things to share.

Being back in the U.S. was fantastic,  after all I am an American girl...

But my trip to the U.S. was bittersweet.

 

Wonderful memories of family gatherings and sweet thoughts of my dear parents (both now celebrating in Heaven)

colliding with the reality of packing up my things and sending them across the the Ocean.

   This trip was different...but in a fabulously good way!

I realized I have a new home now...

my home is wherever my honey is...

and we'll live happily ever after... 

Put a Little Ooh La L in Your life!
