ReplyDeleteAnita It looks like your virtual trip to Paris has begun, so I hope that I'm not too late to catch a ride. In my virtual visit I plan on eating just about anything that does not move, but yet no weight will be gained because after all this is my very own dream! Paris here I come and I'm bringing some of my Amish friends as well........ Richard

Absolutely DIVINE. I could not wait to visit you this morning. I grabbed my coffee and off to dreamland I went. You have done it again, beautiful friend. The colors, the words, the magic...stupendous!!! Bravo!! C'est magnifique!!
ReplyDeleteI hate to rush from such a delight, but I'm off to visit our traveling companions. You do know that I will be back to take another look, not one or two, but probably a few. ;)

The only thing that would make the Paris Party more fun would be to actually be there and be posting what I found every day!
ReplyDeletePure romance. Truly the most beautiful place and simply irresistible. Thanks for taking us along. I just love your dance videos and of course all of your fabulous images. You are romance embodied!
Hello Anita,
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday & last day of school for you! Thanks for stopping by...I'm glad you liked my contribution. It was much LONGER than I expected it to be, (yikes!!!) but I had SO much fun doing this and took a zillion pictures in the process. Maximus was REALLY enjoying the baguette. It was a HOOT! I should have almost taken a video of it as well.
And to answer your question: Kooky's eyes do NOT move, but I totally get what you're talking about. THEY LOOK LIKE THEY DO! And it is very eery and funny!
I can't wait to look at more of the links...I'll have to find bits of time to do it today...and perhaps this evening I'll be able to REALLY check things out more when Maximus goes to bed.
I'll be back later...
Much love,
Heidi
Anita!
ReplyDeleteThis post is spectacular!! Congratulations on this being the day that you find the freedom you have been looking forward too.
I have been thinking of you all week. I will savor all these wonderful Paris posts with a cup of tea in the quiet of my weekend morning.

Hello dear Anita,
ReplyDeleteWhat fun we are having with your Paris Party! Such a great idea. This post is incredible, and there are a few pictures that I must talk about. First of all, can you imagine looking out at a view from a window like that? It is gorgeous, with so much detail in the building. I love the lady in white looking at all the desserts in the bakery. And ahhhh, the lady in red - my favorite. Such a fun time I am having, and now I am headed over to a few more lovelies to see all the creativity. Oh, you look so beautiful and happy in this picture with the balloons. It symbolizes our dazzling friend, who we love so very much.

ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog and explaining what happened with my link.
I am amazed by how busy you are and still have time to organize this wonderful Paris Party.
I have to keep coming back and just staring at this beautiful post. The ballerinas really touch my heartstrings...I studied ballet for 13 years and was on my toes for about 3 years..
It is such a beautiful art form.
Thanks again for everything you do.
XOXO

THAT WAS FUN !!!
ReplyDeleteIt DID feel magical.
I loved the dancers.
I loved it all..........
the whimsical
the wild and crazy fashions
I guess Paris is an EXPERIENCE of it's very own.
I will be away from home for 3 weeks, but am taking my computer...so maybe I'll get a chance to "drop in" on some of your "linky's" and See Paris through their eyes.
btw...Paris I am sure is magical, and so are YOU
ReplyDeletebecause you inspire
Beautifully written and composed post, Anita! :) It's someplace I've always wanted to visit, but will probably never get there. So I'm traveling vicariously through this fun link party! Thank you!
ReplyDeletexoxo laurie
What a great idea, Anita. I wasn't quite sure what you were doing, but this is a lovely, fun idea with your friends!

Hi Anita, I felt transported to Paris and I loved it! ♥ ♥
ReplyDeleteHave a sunny weekend
Hello again!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you, that when I was playing the music earlier today on your blog, Maximus got this big grin on his face and I couldn't resist...we HAD TO DANCE!!! He even looked up at the monitor and said, "WOW, WOW." haha...I thought you'd get a kick out of that.
I am having fun traveling with you and your friends...but it is now almost 1:00AM here and I'm getting VERY tired, so I will have to continue my visits this weekend.
So tell me...what is your sister-in-law's name?
Goodnight my friend...
Heidi
What a great party it is my darling Anita......love it...!!!..thanks for doing this !!...xxx..

ReplyDeleteMany thanks for organizing this fun party for us all.
It has been so great to go and visit Paris, through some of your friends.
I look forward to doing some more visits tomorrow.

Oh Anita, you looks beautiful. Now this is such a long link list I will be taking my time over the next week to get on that plane and pay a visit

Love George xxx
O.M G.....:)))
ReplyDeletehello dearest
ReplyDeletethank you so much for this magical event, i have visited some wonderful blogs and met so many lovely, fascinating people and am only half way through the list!
i have my water supply back on now, thank goodness. being without for 24 hours has reminded me how lucky i am to have fresh running water most of the time.
daisy moomin is feeling a little better, but timothy twinkle is still quite poorly. he is our sweet little blue-eyed lamb.
lily is feeling bored, because i am being nurse to the cats she is getting less attention. but she is very kind to her kitty friends, allowing timothy to share her bed when he has wanted it.
you must be feeling quite on top of the world today, with your last day of school beind you - i am looking forward to hearing what you plan to do over the coming weeks and months, lots of arty things will be on the agenda i am sure :)
the sun is out again here today, which has lifted our spirits after all the gales and relentless rain (not good in june). i'm sorry to hear your email is down, hope this is rectified soon.
well, the party here is definitely in full swing, everyone is having a simply marvelous time and i hope that you above all are enjoying it to the upmost, what a celebration! and so much to celebrate :) have fun!
sending oodles and oodles of love xxx
p.s. anita, i am sure i have already said it but you look so absolutely adorable! i love❤ love❤ love❤ that photograph of you xxx
ReplyDeletehow like audrey you are my friend, in looks and in spirit. you light-up this world of ours xxx
Dear Anita, I think perhaps this is the most beautiful travel journal of Paris...the images, words, and music are superb!
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Anita! I especially want to tell you how happy I am that yesterday was also your day of celebration,
Beginning a new personal creative adventure, so so happy for you....unfortunately my Picasa photo file and my PC were infected with a virus and it is off being repaired. I really hoped it would be fixed by Friday, but it was not. Sooo I have to postpone my Paris trip till next time...I was planning on doing a garden tour of Paris, of course! Thank you for bringing all these very special ladies to me...much love, N.xo
Anita, to answer your question about that decadent chocolate dessert - which by the way has 24k gold flecks on it - we had that for lunch at Versailles - now why doesn't that surprise you and it was fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHi Anita, I'm not listed on your link list. I signed up late but was hoping you could add me to the list. Thanks dearest, I understand if it's to late.
ReplyDelete~Emily
Dear Sweet Anita, Thanks for your musical French lesson! What a great way to learn a language. And the dancers with their fairy dust--heavenly.
ReplyDeleteJust a tiny note. You listed my blog as Thirty Two Yellow Tails and it's Walls. My site isn't coming up on tails. Sorry.
I think this is going to be one of the most exciting and beautiful blog trips I have ever been on!
ReplyDeletehi anita!
ReplyDeletei am out of town right now, but just had to quickly check in at your fabulous party!! such beautiful images and i LOVE the photo of you!! looks like you have a great turn out. perhaps next time i will party down with you....

Between guitar exams, ballet rehearsals and shows I seized a window of opportunity. Thank you for inviting me to your party, Anita. It has been a pleasure to visit some of the beautiful blogs.
Stephanie
LOVE this post! I'm a bit late in joining the party since I haven't posted yet. Is later today too late? I hope not:-). Bisous. Stacey
ReplyDeleteBonjour my dear!
ReplyDeleteYes, you have so many exciting new things on your plate...but the best part is that your time is now your own...
BLISS...
Thank you so much for this splendid idea...having so much fun visiting everyone's Parisian dreams!
Have fun today, dearest!
Love you,
-Moi
Tell me that is you in that pretty black dress holding those colourful balloons? I know it's you. The prettiest of all the dancers indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love all your Paris pics. You sure know how to through a party sweet Anita.
Not sure I will make it to the bottom of the list this weekend. It's pool time and garden clean-up. I've neglected them so far.
Have a wonderful Paris tour. You are magical.
I'm sending my love.

Stopping by to take in a little more beauty and to thank you for all the lovely blogging friends I have been meeting through your Parisian tour. The talents (gifts) are making my heart flood with emotion. Yes, I've cried a couple of times. Unbelievably uncontrollable this passionate heart of mine. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, love.
XOXO
Hi Anita,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry I'm late..I went to move my daughter and got behind. My Paris story is up now...do I need to do something else? g
bonjour ma belle!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip to our heart's desire! I loved it and the french music was so perfect!
Je'taime my dearest! Sherry "Edie"
*SIGH* ... I think heaven will be just like Paris.
ReplyDeleteXOXO

Anita! Thank you so much for your kind words. Coming from you they mean so much, truly. I do have a memoir in the works. It's about my experience working in the hell of corporate America. It's pretty funny ... I've shared some of my writing with Ruben.
ReplyDeleteYou have submitted your writing haven't you? If so, would you share some of your insight? I would love to pursue the writing. My stories on Viggo are camp. Not meant to be serious romance ... the ridiculous imaginings of a middle aged lady LOL!
Let's talk! As for your summer, I hope you RELAX AND ENJOY!!! Give my love to Ruben.
XOXO
Deb
Anita, this is wonderful! Sorry about my link. I got pulled out of town, no internet access, and have just returned. If I get my post up by tomorrow, I'll let you know. I apologize. This was unexpected. Thanks for hosting this lovely party.
ReplyDeleteSarah
Quelle belle fête! Cette promenade imaginaire à travers Paris m'a fait sourire!
ReplyDeleteBon week-end!
Mandy
Oh, Anita, I forgot about our Paris party!! I have collected several things I find irresistible about Paris but will spend today putting them together for a post. In the meantime I shall glory in the fantasy of your post!
ReplyDeleteRobin
I have always dreamed of going to Paris someday. Thank you for bringing some Paris beauty to me today.
ReplyDeletexo,
Danielle
Ooh La La - I LOVE it!!! Such wonderful fun to relive Paris through so many wonderful posts!
ReplyDeleteWell done Anita - what a success!
Paula xx
p.s. Sorry for delay - been a crazy week for us Brits, but book is on it's way - enjoy! xx
Dear Anita,
ReplyDeleteI have just returned from my daughter's AMAZING dance show. Wow! I am humbled by a dance teacher's vision of such a dazzling spectacle. Guess what? Dear Anita, I wish you could have been there. The title of the show was 'Promenade à Paris' and finished with a sensational can-can dance to Offenbach's amazing music.
Wow, wow. So apt in the light of your Paris Party.
Vive la culture.
Dear Anita, I would be honoured if you were to use a picture of Héloïse! I have just been making some small changes to my post. I do so dislike having to rush things, don't you? I like to take my time but today was a very busy and BEAUTIFUL day. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be 'with' you today and all your friends, some of which I have been able to visit.
ReplyDeleteMy dear Anita,
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind and encouraging and I LOVE YOU really. I will continue to practice, practice, practice. As for leaving your teaching position, I think that you can do anything. You are so talented and gifted you could easily be a great success selling your beautiful, homemade creations. I love your writing style (so different from mine! LOL!)... it has the ability to transport one to a beautiful, magical, French world. I love your words and more than that, the simple, yet deeply spiritual message they convey. You will be a great success at whatever you endeavor to do. You should write children's books!
I will continue to visit you here at your wonderful blog. Big hello to Ruben. I think what you are doing is fantastic! You are following your path and I think, you already know, that you will be successful because you are guided by something greater.
WISHING MUCH LUCK AND SUCCESS!!!
XOXO
Deb
Better late then never my dear friend, I had a late plane arrival but here I am with cake. What beauty you have created for us here in France :)
ReplyDeleteI may never go home....
lots of love to my French hearted friend.
Though I often looked for one, I finally had to admit that there could be no cure for Paris.

So excited, I will be looking forward to your party! Such beauty will be a welcome escape! X
ReplyDeleteOh you are so pretty! I am so sorry, Anita..I want to play but I have been sick, I will try to post tomorrow, but I will understand if you need to take me off your list. Much love, Rayanne
ReplyDeleteJust checking in before bed, and saw your post. Of course you can add me to the collage! That will be fun! Yes, I had a ball with the tour, but still have more to go. Bandwidth is shrinking by the hour, tho!! I can't imagine how tired you must be, Anita, and I'm sure you visited everyone on the list!! But what a lovely way to retire!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for doing this, and giving everyone a Parisian Experience!! WE all had fun!!
Bisous,
Dawne
ANITA, your PARIS ponderings are sensational! Such beauty and romance...*sigh*
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely voyage.
The awesome photograph of that 'beautiful mademoiselle' holding those colourful balloons really made me smile! ;-D
Such fun!!
I will now try to get to as many of the other Paris posts as I can.
xx♥
Just coming before bed to say how much I have enjoyed your party and I am happy to be a part of it. Seeing Paris through so many different eyes and minds and emotions is a celebration. Meeting so many adorable creative individuals is a treasure. Thank you, dear Anita!
ReplyDeleteTomorrow I will continue exploring Paris
Hi Anita, Ive done a post on Paris so if you like it is it still linkable?love your dancers! Fiona
ReplyDeleteI am here dear friend, come for a visit... Love visiting you in France

Hello, Anita! What an amazing party! I'm sorry I'm too late to join in. In fact, I've just returned from Paris! :)
ReplyDeleteNext time I look forward to attending the party and sharing some of my images. In the meantime, congratulations on a very successful soiree!
Georgianna
THANK YOU SO MUCH for allowing me to join in this very fun party!!!!
ReplyDeletehugs to you,
jamie
Anita, What fun!! I have never been to Paris. Several years ago I was in London and debated whether to go to Paris for a few days. We opted to save Paris for the next trip, but the "next trip" has yet to happen. Your post is a lovely taste of what I someday hope to see! Someday soon!!
ReplyDeleteI hope your weekend is going well! I'm enjoying mine with my family and am happy to be feeling quite well! You were so sweet to ask. :)
Keri
Geeeee, I love these images! What a beautiful space you have here!
ReplyDeleteCiao

Hello lovely Anita...Oh my, such a wonderful and enchanting post...I am off on my magical trip around Paris now...a perfect way to spend my lazy Sunday morning!!
ReplyDeleteSusan x
P.S Beautiful photograph Anita!
Hi Anita!I meant to get back to you sooner,but didn't,sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteI love that last ballerina photo,stunning!
Life has been kinda crazy,some of it good crazy!

Hello Anita
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight to open this post this morning and find such joy and beauty. As I sip my cappucino, I am transported to Paris, where we honeymooned, more than thirty years ago. You have brought the City to life.
Looking forward to reading the bloggers you have linked.
Helen xx
Hey Anita! so nice of you to drop by my 'Lilliput Loft' blog!
ReplyDeletePlease do stop by my 'green and white garden' blog also...if you can find a spare moment ;-)
I have posted some pickies of my backyard...it is winter here.
I must say...your Paris link party is absolutely SENSATIONAL!!!
Of the blogs I have been able to visit, all I can say is WOWSERS!
I will definately TRY to get to ALL of the links, in time.
Such beauty and cleverness!
Love to you sweet friend.
~Vicki
Anita, these are dazzling! I just returned from Paris and so miss it! Is there still time to get in on the party? I am posting my Paris trip right now and would love to join in! I didn't see a link to connect, so it may be closed, but thought I'd check!
ReplyDeleteThat lady with the balloons looks so very familiar, I wish I could place her...
ReplyDeleteWell, I think I got a taste of Paris this morning, I wandered the streets and cafes,sat on a few statues, was in awe of the Eiefel, I tasted the chocolate and sipped champagne. I even smelled that lavender! That was a lovely party!
But to actually go there in person, now that would be divine.
Good Morning my dear!
ReplyDeleteAren't we all having such fun in Paris, and getting to know one another as we tour?!? Everyone has thier own unique vision and it has been absolutely delightful!
{and I'm only half through the list! This is taking some time, but it is such a treat throughout the day when I have a moment here and there!}
I thank God for his fabulous design, whose parents name 'ANITA'!
You are a treasure indeed.
Love you!
~ Violet
DEAREST ANITA, noone does this better than you!!!!! I LOVED that video. NOW I just want to travel to Paris soooooooooooo much! Thanks for your nice comment and for doing this. It'S impossible to not be very, very Paris inspired :)
ReplyDeletexoxo
Hello and good morning dear friend,

hello dearest
ReplyDeletei am still here, loving every moment of this wonderful event.
though i have had to take my dancing shoes off and rest today for a while. i had an almost sleepless night caring for timothy twinkle who has now thankfully, turned a corner.
today i will take it slow, but tomorrow i will bounce back to meet and mingle with the rest of the people i have not visited yet.
and how are you my dear? sparkling as ever i should imagine, but a little tired? these past days have been very eventful for you. fortunately in a good way, a very good way :)
sending much love and fairy dust xx
tonight i will watch the marie-antoinette film, i have not seen it yet. even in real life i am keeping with this theme :) i am teaching my daughter to make brioche tomorrow!
Bonjour Anita! I feel I have just had a quick introduction to the magical place of Paris....and look at you with those balloons...just so beautiful and happy! What a party is happening at the moment....wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI hope all went well on your last day of school...it's all over now...sit back...take it all in...IMAGINE, WONDER and DREAM....YOU GO GIRL...Much love to you...Dzintra xo
Sweet friend, Anita, I am still so sick! Again, I'm so sorry, and that it's when you're having your wonderful Paris link party. Please go ahead and take me off, I'll be in the bed for some time. Love you and thank you for your grace! Much love, Rayanne
ReplyDeletehello dearest
ReplyDeletei've had a lovely evening visitng more of the links and am about to sit and watch a film. i will be back along to the party tomorrow.
thank you for your kind wishes for timothy, i am so very relieved that he is recovering.
i agree that we both that we both need to take things slowly and savour each moment as we go.
sending warmest hugs xx
Another brilliantly beautiful journey!
ReplyDeleteHi Anita, I have been replying to your emails, and just noticed I'm replying to a "no reply". I have tried to get your button on my sidebar, but can't seem to get it. If you can give me a hint, I would love it. I have a MAC, so it's a little different and usually I copy/paste the html stuff below the button. I have tried copying the whole button but it won't paste to my sidebar. Ugh. Anyway, I posted today about the christening dress I made 6 years ago, not French per se, but lots of ruffles and ribbons and the batiste and laces ARE from France. I am having fun visiting some of the other blogs!!! Beautiful stuff and I LOVE your bathroom in France (above)! Love, Linda
ReplyDeletethis is really lovely
ReplyDeleteAnita...this orchestrated
event...this visit to
Paris...and to all your
friends...thanks a bunch

Dearest Anita, at the request of my dear bloggy neighbor, Mary from MerryDotDandy, I am here to leave you her reservations for your lovely Parisian tour. She has her post up now and, if she has not already done so, I am sure she will stop by to say hello too.

Thank you, love.
Have a peaceful Sunday evening.
Hugs,

Oh, dearest! The music the ballerinas ..all the beauty of Paris...here ..all in one post! Husband and I were celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary on Friday, along with my mother's 77th birthday...such a wonderful day but I am ever so late to your lovely party. Memories flooded my mind from the party just last year! When I spied little Jack rabbit hopping past the dining room window to let me know he has returned for the summer, I thought of you. You are still everywhere I look, my dear dear friend:) and how delighted I was to see that absolutely DaRLinG photo of you with balloons! You are a BEAUTY, dearest!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sprinkling magic over my evening...I will have pretty PARIS dreams:))
Grande bisous,
Christie
Dearest Anita! I am finally on my way to Paris on my blog! First installment firmly in place!
ReplyDeleteRobin
Oh I LOVE this...how I wish I could have been part of this, I recently blogged about Paris. Love Paris. I'm off to follow the links for a mini Parisian getaway. XoXo
ReplyDeleteIris
Anita, I'm ready to party! Thank you for being patient with me. I've published my post this evening.
ReplyDeleteLovely party. I'm off to visit my favorite city. ~ Sarah
Wooooow, Anita! What a story! It must have been a wonderful experience. That is the perfect way to discover the country and the people. I felt that I could hear the music, too and could imagine how it felt to come into that church and worship with them. Thanks for telling me. I really enjoyed taking part of that lovely memory!!!!!!! Have a BLESSED day!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletelove, Kristin
Fabulous post Anita!! so so beautiful
ReplyDeleteHugs
Cecilia
Anita, i'm back! So thrilled to see your beautiful post here, that makes me want to sing and dance! And your sweet comments on my blog, and so many others from this link party. Can't wait to bloghop tonight and catch up with everyone. Hope that meanwhile you've had a lovely time. Did i tell you how i adore that Audrey style photo of you? So great dearest, you make magic happen! xox
ReplyDeleteI almost missed the party! Hope you do it again and I will surely link up.
ReplyDeleteHi Anita - Gwendolyn here! Happy Monday
ReplyDeleteI have a question for you - who is singing the Music from your Parisian post?
Also, when are we going to do it again?
:)
hello my sweet
ReplyDeletei saw the marie antoinette film :) it is stunning!!! those costumes!❤❤❤
there is an other film i love that is a visual treat 'bright star', is is the story of the poet john keats and his fiance fannny brawne. a sad tale really (you will need a pretty handkerchief in your hand when you watch) but it is one of the most beautiful and romantic films i have ever seen. if you have not already seen it, i know you will love love love it. also the actor who plays john keats, ben whishaw i think is his name, is probably the most sensitive actor i have ever seen, very young and yet so talented. his presence is so touching it makes your heart feel raw. the female actress is wonderful too, they are so good together.
i have now visited everyone on the party list! :) and it has been so wonderful! your have such beautiful, talented and very lovely friends here. how i enjoyed seeing everyone's take on paris, and the photographs have been marvelous! you throw the very best of parties and have sparkled as a hostess, even though you have had so much going on your life at the same time. your truly are magical.
remember to take some rest and relaxation though, when you can.
i hope you have some sunshine too.
sadly it is rain, rain, rain, here for many days to come. but on the bright side, it will be good for our gardens :)
sending you a huge hug xxx with a huge hug and circular tail wag from lily too xxx
that is such a wonderful idea! i must learn how to put video's on you tube.
ReplyDeletei am thinking that in the winter (early december maybe) i might host a fairy tea party on my blog :) what do you think of this idea? would you participate? do you think others would? we could have real or imagined tea parties themed around our favourite fairy tale or children's story. tea-rat and company will of course be invited.
which reminds me, the little book i ordered for you will be here in a day ot two, i can then get it posted with your tea! :)
i am so delighted that tea-rat and yourself also like this idea :)
ReplyDeletei think i shall do it!!!
and you are right about the possibilities being endless... that is what makes it so exciting!!!:) thank you so much for your encouragement xx
now i must give peace lily deportment classes in readiness for her first film role ;)
My dear Anita, you have opened up a door of enchantment for me... MERCI FOR this magical Paris event. I have met so many wonderful people and artists and have entered a world of beauty in Paris.
ReplyDeleteBisous!
Penny
i have pencilled friday 7th - friday 14th december into my diary! i think that will be the week. also everyone that participates will be entered into a draw for a fairy-themed christmas gift!
ReplyDeletethis has all been inspired by you! my sweet friend.
i am dicovering that lily (perhaps because she is a blonde) is a marylyn monroe or perhaps scarlett johanssen type. she loves the camera! and it loves her. all we need now is a bright day for filming. for her tail to go all the way round she has to be super excited! so i shall have some of her favourite treats on hand.. aga baked doggie biscotti! :)
oops! did i say 17th? i meant 7th - 14th. ah, yes life would be very dull without play.
ReplyDeletenow i must go to prepare a meal of pasta for my son who is watching the england/france football match. although english, i am at parisian party today and therefore being neutral ;)
bisous xx
Anita so far on my virtual Paris vacation I've already gained 9 pounds, what gives! Richard
ReplyDeletete he - richard (above me)...that's funny!
ReplyDeleteAnyway - I'm not sure if I've already commented here - you have so many bloomin messages I can't find myself! I know I've told you how ace your party was though...
..and there's a little note for you on my current post - see if you can spot it!
fee x
Oh the first video is so cute! It reminds me of when i lived in montreal
ReplyDeletedearest
ReplyDeletei have added a thank you bouquet of flowers for you and all the lovely paricipants of this wonderful event to my post ❤
Hi beautiful Anita!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow was your weekend?
It was pretty hot here; we went shopping in a unique historic district downtown. There are about 7 blocks of antique shops, restaurants, & vintage clothing stores.
It was fun- I glanced in a cafe window as we walked by & people were drinking Coca Cola from glass bottles like in the 50's.....
Today it was stormy & it's just dismal and gloomy now.
I hope you're having a wonderful day!!!!
Hugs!!!! Shannon :-)
Dear Anita, just wanted to say a big thank you for bringing so many lovely ladies my way!! How very generous and kind of you....thinking of you this week, especially, much love, N.xo
ReplyDeletei am glad you like the flowers :) they are from our local market. a ray of sunshine after all these storms we have been having.
ReplyDeletethe jug they are in was made by my brother keith, he is a potter.
i needed some way of thanking you for all that you have given us through this magical event and for your wonderful friendship xxx
Hello Anita,
ReplyDeleteI have been just dying to get over here again and see you! It has been a busy weekend, so I didn't get a chance to visit all of the Paris Posts, but I plan to still make my rounds when I get bits of time.
Looking at your photo in this post...you have so much grace...the way you carry yourself...you can certainly tell that you are a dancer. And what a beautiful figure you have too. Inside and Out...YOU are the full package deal!
I hope you are enjoying your time off!!! And I hope you take some time to deflate and just relax before you get too busy with your other ventures.
Again, I wanted to thank you so much for doing this link party again. I had SOOOOO much fun creating this post. You have NO idea...well, maybe you do! haha...And, I've met so many other wonderful bloggers through this, which I have to give you credit for.
Thanks for introducing me to Penny. She is very creative! And, I am in LOVE with Marcia over at The Shop Around the Corner...AND!!!! I JUST DISCOVERED that YOU did her blog header!!! I LOVE IT SOOOOO MUCH!!!
hahaha...Can you tell how excited I am? Anyway...little Maximus is taking a nap right now, so I thought I'd try and pop in.
Much love!
Heidi
Wow Stunning...I SO enjoyed visiting Paris via your blog. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have joined the Link Party.
http://journeybeyondtoday.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/link-party-in-paris.html
Looking forward to visiting everyone.
Thank you,
Violet
You have swept me away, Anita. Now to get lost in all the other lovely blogs who have linked up!
ReplyDeleteOh Anita of course I came...and what a time...it's been fabulous...Wishing you a wonderful week after all this travelling around...Dzintra xo
ReplyDeleteFinally a moment
ReplyDeleteto truly enjoy this post!
I've also visited a few
others ~ so much fun.
Love the pic of YOU!
Hope you are starting
to get into your summer
groove, now that school
is out. A new chapter, non?
Have FUN!
xo Suzanne
Oh my friend you are having so much fun... I can only image! We are still with students for 2 more weeks...will I ever make it!? I am looking forward to the lazy days of Summer...and to think that you don't even have to worry about starting back in September...oh JOY! Love to you. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteHi Anita...Hi Irina...what fun to be able to be together...How exciting to have a borrowed machine..now I want to see all your creations dearest...I bet they will be beautiful...love from a chilly coast...Dzintra xo
ReplyDeleteBonjour Anita, I'm here! I'm here! I finally made it! I'm a little late to the party but I wouldn't miss it. Had a rough start. I stayed up until midnight working on my post the night before the party only to find my blog having been tagged with a warning sign (hacked or something)for the first 24 hours but all is well now (after I spent hours the next morning going through all the steps to clear what some computer geek tried to do to monitor my keystrokes? That's my guess anyway.) Thank you for putting this together and it's been such fun getting out and about meeting new bloggers who love Paris as much as we do! Ciao for now and A bientot!
ReplyDeleteKirsten
the flowers are in your sidebar! :) bless you anita xx
ReplyDeletei saw that a couple more participants have joined this delightful event, it's good to see the party growing and so lovely to visit everyone's posts.
even though it is virtual, it is a quite unforgetable experience, the fact that all these kindred souls hook together and have such a blast!
wishing you a beautiful day
much love from me and peace lily xxx
Hi Anita,
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear from you. Aren't afternoon naps the BEST? I almost prefer them over sleeping at night. haha...
First off, I am thrilled that you would like to use one of my photos for your next blog post. YES!!! You have my permission to do so. Thanks so much for asking me. If you care to have the link to the actual post, so that you can link it that way permanently on your blog, to go directly to that post, then here it is: http://hi-dho.blogspot.com/2012/06/paris-simply-irresistible-link-party.html
I've noticed too that some bloggers have already changed their posts. I am having a hard time doing so, because I loved this one SO much!
It sounds like you have so many wonderful friends...some that you have met through others and through the whole blogging experience. Thanks again for introducing me to so many of them and for sending them my way too. I have a bunch of new followers and am just giddy!!!
Have a wonderful day. I need to get going so I can take Maximus to storytime in a bit.
xoxo
Heidi
Hello love,
ReplyDeleteHow are you? This has been such a fun time meeting new friends - such creative people too. I wanted to thank you for bringing us all together. It has been a pleasant experience. Has anyone told you lately that you are wonderful? Well, of course they have, but I wanted to make sure you heard it from ME!!! hehe You are off school now? I bet it feels like a breath of fresh air. Now you can work on so many projects. The possibilities are endless. Have a happy day!
~Sheri at Red Rose Alley
hello my dear
ReplyDeletei love coming here to comment (can't you tell ;) because i get to pass all the wonderful images here each time. although i adore them all, my particular favourite is the moving image at bottom of your post with the dancer and fairy-dust.
i am glad to hear you are napping and enjoying movies, taking time to rest is important right now.
my brother keith is very creative, he is a talented potter, photographer and gardener. my other brother, mark, has been gifted with social skills and is good with the business and management side of things.
my sister is a brilliant seamstress and interior decorator/designer. compared to them i have very small talents.
so happy you liked the flowers :)
i am already excited about december too and keep scribbling little ideas as they come to me in my notebook.
i have emailed you :)
bisous xx
Had to come back for a visit, if I could move in here I would : )
ReplyDeleteIt is so inspiring and relaxing and
D E L I G H T F U L !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs and Parisian kisses
of friendship,
Violet
Good evening dear one,
ReplyDeleteStill touring Paris and had to stop in and thank you for visiting me again.. Your sweet notes always bring a smile.. Well, you have outdone yourself this year my dear friend.. This Paris Party is pure heaven!
Merci cher ami
Penny
Virtually a compelling trip...ahhh so tempting...so exciting! Thank you for the ride!
ReplyDeletep.s. .....very cute dress & shoes I must say!....& hat!
ReplyDeletehello dearest
ReplyDeletei hope you are having a splendid day both within your lovely studio and outside in nature. i think of your garden as being sylvanian retreat, visited by little forest creatures
i have just sent you another email xx
Dear Precious Anita, YOU have been busy busy my dearest! This Parisian Link Party looks divine! I must try to visit them all - and who knows, maybe I'll slow down enough to participate the next time you throw one. My youngest son had to have back surgery back in April and it's just been crazy busy with my work and travel. We just returned from our early 30th Wedding Anniversary trip to St. Augustine FL and it was lovely.
ReplyDeleteI hope we can SKYPE again in the near future. Leaving for Myrtle Beach next Thursday and will be out of pocket till after July 7th. Maybe after that.
Hugs friend and much love! xoxo
~CC
Thank you for stopping by, love. Knowing I am in desperate need of it, my lovely daughter left me such a peaceful, sweet post. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, I am visiting uplifting delightful bloggy friends such as yourself, and I am off to the beach Friday so I'll share pics soon. And no, no, no, the party lights are not dimmer, they are brighter than ever, ongoing beauty that echoes even when the guests have gone home.
I have met so many beautiful neighbors and I cannot help but think how much I'd love for you to host an ongoing theme, maybe monthly. Doesn't have to be Paris, but maybe simply whatever speaks BEAUTY to us that particular month. Okay, I'm being selfish now. I know you're busy, but can't help it, Love's light shines brightly through you, so who could resist? ;)
Enjoy your day.
Hugs,
Marcia
Oh my friend...I just had to pop over and ask you if you are enjoying your morning? I have a later start today so I am still making my rounds at your Paris party...so hard to visit everyone but I am trying.
ReplyDeleteI only kept my Paris post up for a few days...I hope that is ok. You know me...I can't sit still very long in one spot..I am always changing my posts. Must run now... Hugs for a wonderful day...what will the day bring? xoxo
Thank you for your sweet visit Anita! You're free now - WOW, that is SO EXITING! Must be a wonderful feeling to wake up in the morning and know, the day is yours. And i know you will make the most of it. I've recovered well in my holiday but could use another week ... Ha ha, coming back isn't so easy. Although i love my job, there is lots of pressure aslo and we are navigating through difficult waters right now! So good to dream about Paris once in a while ;) xx
ReplyDeleteMagic indeed! My best wishes!!! Cathy
