Oh, My, Anita!!! I've been meaning to ask you about this, as it was your Paris party just one year ago where I met you!!!!And you had "Simply Irresistible" on your music player that night and I played it full blast, over and over, not even caring how much band-width I was eating up!!! And that party made me want to come out of my shell and meet people in Blogland! Best virtual party EVER!!! So I'm looking forward to another marvelous party, and Oui, count me in!

LOVE YOU ET BISOUS,

Oh yes, my sweet Anita, I would love to join in your Paris link party. While I am writing this, I am noticing the incredible picture of the fireworks next to the comment page. When the girls went there, they loved everything about Paris - the food, the culture, the people. The two young people kissing are so sweet, and the carriage is beautiful. My favorite of all was the picture of the artist in the street. It is just wonderful, and full of mystery. Oh, Jess would love this 'TRAVEL' quote, as travel is a must for her. I am going to send the girls over to see this. What a great post, and sign me up for your link party!
ReplyDelete~Sheri at Red Rose Alley
looking forward to a beautiful journey.
ReplyDeleteAnita your beauty shines.

Oh Anita,
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight to be invited to such a fabulous soiree!!! J'adore Paris, for sooo many reasons it will be hard to narrow it down! My proposal on la Tour Eiffel has made it my Cite de L'amour toujours...
Please count me in!
Ahh, the clock is ticking to the end of school my friend, i am sure you cannot wait!

Dearest Anita
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful POST! Inspiration is in full bloom here.
Oh yes, count me in... Loved the video Anita, had to put on my dancing shoes!
Bisous,
Penny
Where on your blog is this tiara? I wanted to find out more about it. Its amazing! :D http://pinterest.com/pin/78320480989740569/
ReplyDeleteOui, oui, do count me in!! Although my heart is fixed on Italy, France would be très magnifique. I cannot wait to travel with so many blogging companions. Yay!!! And yes, I danced during the video. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove all the images, but the first one of the Eiffel Tower right underneath the video is gorgeous. It instantly transported me. Seems like a more quiet angle, just what I'd look for if I were traveling.
Thank you for the invite, love. Took your pretty invitation.
MUAH!
Marcia
I will be there...first I have to dig out old photos and that will give me the greatest pleasure~I just can't wait! We were flying back home on 911 and had been in the air for 4 hours and had to turn around..very scary and worse of course than we knew..we were "stranded" in Paris 4 more days..I will never forget it!
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me! Include me in the party. Really, I need to go there to get more inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOh my...I know practically nothing of Paris.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing french in my life is "french fries"...and "french bread".
All these pictures you posted are exquisit (did I spell that right??...see, what do I KNOW of exquisit????
But, You are beauty and inspiration and classy, and parley francais...........so you are my Paris.
Yes!I love all the summer's big parties.I plan to be there.I so enjoyed the video.I stayed glued with enchantment while My memories were combined with modern music.Interesting how dance of any age can be combined with modern music,loved it!
ReplyDelete17 more days...is that all!!!! Happy dance!
ReplyDeleteYou are off a way sooner than us...we still have most of June to get through.
It will come soon enough.
Thank you for asking about my crown...wish it was on my head and not in my mouth. It is a bit tender but off to bed I go and hope tomorrow is a good day.
Those fireworks of yours are making me dizzy as I type this comment the image is right beside the comment box...I will be dreaming of fireworks tonight. xoxoxoxoox Hugs.
You have been busy !
ReplyDeleteA whole new France-challenge !
I have this wonderful idea
You move to France and we will be closer and able to visit !

ReplyDeleteDearest Anita
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delightful. I will watch this year and try and understand what it is one does to join in. The tekky world is still a little foreign to my french easel.
Wishing success and love

ReplyDeleteOf course I will be there.. Would not miss this for the world. We all had such fun at the last Paris link party.. Thank you for visiting dearest!
ReplyDeleteBisous,

Anita ~~ Thank you so much for following me. You so made my day. Also, I feel humbled asking you this but you left the words "BISOUS eet que notre Seigneur Jésus te bénisse" on my blog and I do not know french so I would so much appreciate the translation. I think french sounds so beautiful and yet I only know bonjour and au revoir. Also, I would love to join your link party. I am so new to blogging, that I will need my son Austin to help me figure out the link. Thank you so much and have a blessed day.

ReplyDeletep.s my little bit of french is probably terrible *hangs head in shame* but i hope you like the post.
ReplyDeleteGene Kelly was really my favorite dancer in movies, and i know most consider Fred Astaire their own favorite But Gene was the better actor i think. Richard
ReplyDeletethank you for bringing paris to our
ReplyDeletefront door. so many gorgeous
images. i'm afraid that i am the
opposite of french loveliness . . .
but i still can enjoy it!
Dear Anita, I came here tonight just knowing I was missing something..Indeed, I was! I can't commit (sadly) to your Paris party..I am F I N A L L Y going on vacation to Florida, and will be so wrapped up in getting back home, and getting things in order, I won't be able to attend, but I will be checking your blog to see what all I missed! I know it will be wonderful, as everything you create and imagine is! XOXOX Christel
ReplyDeleteCount me in! I love Worth fashions and Monet and the food and the language...ok, so I love France:).

ReplyDeleteKristin xx
Count me in baby! Bisous x x
ReplyDeleteAh dear Anita we were having our dinner when you called in!!! That would be fabulous if you were able to get in to a bit of sewing when you have your friend's machine....I'm sure you will love it!!! 'Pirates' is going to take up a lot of time from June this year and can you believe I've never seen it!!! Have a wonderful day sweet friend...Dzintra xo
ReplyDeleteYES Anita I am participating in your Paris Adventure. I am adding the button to my blogs today. I am going to paint something, maybe a few things, just for the Paris Party! Anita how are you? Dore told me that someone has copied or stole from you? Same thing with me...my shop name! I have written a post about it that will be on my blog soon. Lets hold each other up...we girls will stick together and move forward creating. ox Kerrie
ReplyDeleteOui oui, count me in! Last year's party was such a treat!
ReplyDeletethe link on my new post has just brought me here by magic :) i am so glad you liked it.
ReplyDeletei just can't tell you how excited i am and how much i am looking forward to this event.
thankfully, it falls just before the big birthday week here in june. where we celebrate five (possibly six, as my new little grandaughter is due that week too) family birthdays all in the same week! three on the same day! my mother, sister and myself performed a hat-trick by all giving birth to sons on 18th of june. my twins have their birthday the following day, the 19th. talk about busy! and expensive! just like christmas really. but before this i have the paris party! and i am just brimming with ideas as well as reviving lots of lovely old memories of my time there many years ago (over 30 now!).
today i am being nursemaid to poor peace lily who has a nasty ear infection. the vet is coming to see her tomorrow morning. she is looks so sorry for herself and whining. which worries me because she normally such a brave soul, it's unlike her to cry, the poor darling. but she is receiving lots of cuddles and little treats and hopefully the vet will give us something that will relieve the pain and clear the infection quickly. i do hate when any of my charges are poorly. my son has the flu too has had to go off to london today. he needs to get his visa to attend his friends graduation ceremony in pittsburg (not sure if that's the correct spelling) later this month. he is in his early twenties but i still worry about him as much, if not more, than i did when he was little. but then he and his twin sister are my youngest. gosh, i'm waffling on here. sorry dear, i should have emailed you. perhaps i will later if i get a quiet moment.
much love to you, i hope you have a lovely evening. do you still have sunshine there? it's been lovely here today.
bisous x

Hello Anita! Yes, I am back! Thank you for stopping by and visiting me! You are ever so faithful my friend! As you seen, I have been traveling myself. Nice to be home and taking care of our nest. So you are going to Paris....this should be interesting! I am waiting to see and experience it through you! ~Hugs,Patti
ReplyDeleteHi Anita ~ Me again. Oh, thank you for the translation ~ simply beautiful. You have inspired me with the saying and I am using it on my blog now everyday and maybe that way I will remember it as well. Also, yes, I would really enjoy your Paris party so count me in and thank you again.

ReplyDeleteBonjour mon ami!! How are you? I would to join in on your Paris link party. They are so much fun!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely evening! xoxo, B
I adore the movie 'An American in Paris'...it is the clothing that I adore and the dancing! That marvelous dancing! The main actress in the movie was adorable! Such an amazing dancer! I adored all of her outfits! Especially the ballerina ones with the layers of tulle...such feminine bliss! I have never been to Paris but I know if I ever had the chance I would definitely go!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I can join in the festivities of your French Party but I will definitely follow those who are join to participate.
It will almost be like going to Paris I am sure!!!

Hi my friend...you and me both have been busy bees at school. I find I get home and I am so tired I can't do anything! Today I am off early for 2 morning meetings before school starts. Sending you oodles of energy to get you through the day. Love to you. xoxox
ReplyDeletejust a quick update: the vet has been and he has given lily an antibiotic and painkilling injection.
ReplyDeletehe said her ear had turned pretty nasty this time, but she should feel better in a day or or two. he has given me some drops and of course she has been awarded with hugs and treats.
i also washed her bed and made it all comfy for her this morning. although she has jumped up on mine, deciding that is where she wants to sleep today.
i shall have an early night myself later as i slept very little last night due to her discomfort. am glad she will be on the mend soon. she is such a sweet and brave girl. the vet exclaimed at how gentle natured she is, even for a labrador.
i am off now to prepare something that will be a cross between lunch and afternoon tea. which reminds me, i have your teas all packed and and ready for my son to post when he returns from london.
warmest wishes from me and hello from peace lily, who wishes to let you know she is feeling a little better.

I'm doing well... I was utterly exhausted but well ;) I'm thrilled that summer is upon us! Although I love school, I really needed a break. I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone in the blogging community.. I've missed it so much! How are you? I hope all is going well in your world. I'm certain you have several fabulous projects in the works! I'm looking forward to your link party! It was such FUN last year.

You'll have to keep us informed with the happenings, as this is our first one, and I have no idea what to do. hehe I hope your day is a bright one.
ReplyDelete~Sheri at Red Rose Alley
Anita! Thank you for joining on at *simple sequins*! I have been kickbutt busy with work, too. (year end schedule - i work as a tutor at a elementary) So - just wanted to let you know I just might paint the old table first. Very interested in your June 1st thingy, but need to have more info. I'm new to this link connection thing. help! ~ Renae
ReplyDeleteif i am magic...

french assignment
and having a grand

hey Anita, YES! Sounds great - Count me in! and... sorry to burst your bubble but.... I only have 4 more days next week. The Tutors don't work that last week of school, so my last day is the 24th. (we only work m-th) We went through our test week this week and it was tedious. So now I feel I can breath, wphew. So cry on my shoulder if you need to (via here or email) and wishing you the ENERGY AND STAMINA you'll need!!! ~ Renae
ReplyDeletePrecious Anita,
ReplyDeleteIt is always a delight to see your comment in the morning; you always find the right words to touch my heart. I am blessed and deeply affected by your kindness! Lots of Love to you
WOW!! That is exciting news! Congratulations! I know you are a writer and creator at heart and will be a SUCCESSsd. I wish you the BEST!
ReplyDeleteI went back to school two years ago last March, taking only once course. It does seem like four years!! My instructor said last semester was the hardest. It was tough... 3-4 or staying up for 36 hours straight. However, I do love what I do and I'm motivated to get this done. God willing, I will be a designer next spring and from there take my time getting my architecture degree.
Today is my 16 year wedding anniversary! I can't believe it. Time flies when you're having fun ;)
Wishing you a lovely day!! xoxo, B
Yes, count me in please!!! I had so much FUN last time!! Hurrah for summer. I can't wait. Last day for the students is June 8th and for the teachers, June 13th! Happy weekend my lovely!! XX

ReplyDeleteHello Anita, I'm popping by to say thank you for my birthday wishes it means alot as it was my first one.
ReplyDeleteI must tell George to get himself over here looks like its going to be a big avent.
Yes he does look after me, mind you I can hold my own when he gets a grump on:)
Love and hugs Tess xxx
hello my dear
ReplyDeletethank you so much fro your kind message. i am very happy to report that peace lily is feeling much, much better today :)
otherwise it has been very busy, i have hardly had time to catch my breath. but right now my son is preparing a feast! a rare (almost miraculous) treat :)
he is putting a lot of effort into making some very exotic chicken and lamb (i think) kebabs. my daughter and i don't have the heart at this moment to remind him that we are vegetarian! thank goodness we are having salad with them. although of course we will taste all that he has prepared for us.
i hope that you and dear mr. castles are fairing well this weekend.
bless you for your support these past few days, i am sure your healing prayers aided lily's recovery. she has picked picked up remarkably well.
oh gosh, i haven't told you the hamster story yet!
briefly, there was an almighty crash from my daughter's bedroom after she had failed to shut her door. one of our cats had got in there, climbed on top of the very heavey wooden hamster house and somehow knocked it onto the floor. it landed upside down! i was frantic and thought the poor little creature had perished for sure. but she had been saved by the small wooden cabin that she sleeps in. it was full of soft bedding, so thankfully her fall was cushioned and the solid wood protected her from being crushed.
ok, must fly now...
much love and warmest hugs xxx
dorothy
I'm in. I don't know what I can contribute but I'm in. Beautiful post. I save so many of images. They are inspiring.
ReplyDeleteileft a reply to your sweet comment on my blog and am copy and pasting here incase you miss it:
ReplyDeletedearest anita
yes, i am due to be grandmother to a little girl in mid-june. she already has a brother, my three year old grandson stanley who is absobloominlutely adorable! he says and does the funnies things imaginable and looks like a duckling with his little head of sticky-up blonde hair.
the kebabs...oh dear! quite horrendous, almost burnt to a crisp. the poor chap has only ever attempted making cheese on toast before now. it's sad after he put all that effort in.
i wish you a lovely sunday too and send very warmest hugs from myself and peace lily xxx
it's quite late in our corner of the world now and so i'm off to bed, lily is already snoring gently in hers.
will pop along here again soon x

Thank you for the kind wishes! We had a lovely anniversary dinner at our favourite brasserie. We opted for something not too fancy this year as I wanted to relax a bit and enjoy the beautiful weather... it was perfect.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have been working very hard. I feel like the Energizer bunny!!
This week I will working on landscape before the kids get out of school.
Wishing you a most lovely week! xoxo, B

ReplyDeleteCount me in. I have no idea what I am signing up for. But I love Paris...and go every chance I get!
ReplyDeleteStephanie stumbles a little breathlessly and pants: 'Am I too late for this delightful gathering?'
ReplyDeleteAnita what a sweet invitation. Paris is my favourite city. I lived there for five years, I met my husband, gave birth to my son there... and, now I am whispering and not panting, I had a few romantic escapades there... before meeting my husband, of course!
Seriously Paris inspires me each and every time. Infact I'll be there this weekend for a short while. I even like the smell of the Metro!
I have little idea what I shall write about but I will figure it out.
Much love,
Stephanie
I hope you're having a lovely week! I gathered the link and beginning to think of what I will write... there are so many wonderful thoughts of Paris already.

ReplyDeleteI just had to stop in and SOAK UP the beauty of it all again.. By the way. Have you seen Bebe? I believe she is lost on the streets of Paris.. If you spot her let me know.
This my dear is the event of the year! I have met so many wonderful people and viewed Paris in rose colored glasses...
Merci cher ami, Penny
