I am so excited for this, Anita!!! I participated in a webinar for biking tours of Provence yesterday...It just made me even more anxious for our blog party next week. I can't wait to partake in the sharing of the French countryside and gain new insight into the next place I hope to visit. xoxo
Oh...and I would LOVE to win Vicki's book...I am a big fan of French Essence!
Beautiful inspiration for your party. What a lovely wonderful giveaway!
Oh I so wish I could live in Provence! And I 'd love a chance to win a copy of this book...
2 summers ago I stood in a picturesque small square in Saint Remy which I now realize is where Vicki Archer's new flat is located. Her books and blog is are inspiration-she's living the life we all fantasize about. I would love to win a copy of her book.
This is a gorgeous post~visually and musically~adore!!

Hi Anita, looking forward to this journey to France!! It really does all begin with a vision:) I bought Vicki's book prior to going to Paris last summer. It's wonderful and I have it close .. and flip through the beautiful pages often.

Please add my name to your giveaway, and this is such a beautiful post today.
Love,

Oh, the first time I heard the phrase, "je ne sais quoi" was on the movie A River Runs Through It. One of the brothers said it in the movie, and I always wondered what it meant? Do tell, please.
Love,

Oh, how wonderful! I would so love to win this book Anita. Fingers crossed! What an awesome giveaway! Xx
Hello Anita,
You always find such beautiful photos to go with your poetry. What a pretty book! Your parties are always so fun...I hope I can pull off a post. I don't think I'll be able to top last year's post though. haha...I just don't think that will happen. Oh well... :)
Heidi
Hello my dear friend,
A visual feast for the eyes, ears and mind. I am so excited for your party, there are so many participants it will be exciting to see so many "journeys."

This is the best time to be in Provence.
Spring is amazing here and it is a new picture each day.

How does someone join the party? While I already have Vicki's book (I'm a big fan of Carla's photography), I would be honored to join this group of lovely, talented ladies. x Katie www.frenchcravings.com
such classic and beautiful photos!!
Hi Anita, I'd love to participate. I spend a lot of time in Geneva with day trips into France. Not so much time in Provence but love it and love your photos.
Raining and cool here in Pittsburgh,Pa.Your story and pictures took me to Spring, Provence,another time and place.
What a wonderful way to begin my day, lovely photos and beautiful music! I would love to win Vicki's book!
What a nice idea to have a drawing and bless someone with such a nice gift. I'm ready to read and travel with all of you to France.
Thank you for your visit Anita. I miss you too and I find my thoughts often wandering to where you are. Remembering that not all that wander are lost. We shall always know where to find each other.
We have started a backyard project. We have been in our home now 5 years and it's taken that long to agree on what to do with the backyard. Ha...just kidding! We are adding an apple tree, planting lilacs and old fashioned flowers. Len just make the cutest stone path, I will need to snap pictures and show them on my blog.
If you find a free moment, come and see the adorable little pincushion shoes the ladies at work made in our Crafter-Afternoon. I promise it will add charm to your weekend! Poof, just like that!
Len's birthday rolls in tomorrow. I plan to whisk him away to a auction and a visit to a steakhouse we've been wanting to go to for years.
In memory of year dear mom, I'm thinking of you this Mother's Day.
J'adore la Provence comme j'adore...JE NE SAIS QUOI!
Merci!
Deare Anita,
Beautiful music this morning! Yes I will enter and what does should the post release?

Much love,
Stephanie

Hi Anita,
I too would like to be a part of this weeks fun. Theresaxxx
Oh Anita I woke up this morning to this beautiful post....what a party you gals are going to have....and I will partake from the sidelines!
Oh the fennel...unbelievable...the fronds do have an aniseed flavour unlike dill which I have always preferred (most Latvians love dill). But the buld all sauteed up was just delicious....Do try it, perhaps you and Irina could sit down to this meal...it's nice and easy and she should have her issue of the magazine soon!
Sending pink bubbles your way for Sunday....love Dzintra xo
Hello....dear one.
Just got in the door from a Friday and Saturday getaway with my sweetie...we went to Seattle...I love that city especially in the sunshine.It was a blessing to spend time together after such a busy week.
Yahoooo...your friends are coming through for you my dear...so many are signed up and ready to pack their bags and head to France. So sorry I will not make it this year...life it just way too busy right now. I hope to make time with a cup of yummy David's tea and visit some of your sweet friends.
Have a great Sunday...hugs from me.
Please include me in the drawing for Vicki Archer's book. I plan to join the party on May 17. From these comments, it looks like its going to be a great party!
I am now following and invite you to visit my blog.
See you May 17.
Judith

Merci d'avance
Elaine
Merci cher ami !
So looking forward to your party, and what a beautiful and generous give-away! It looks like an amazing book. I watched those two movies last year after you told me about them, quite touching, and the French countryside, lovely...

Such a kind and generous gift, merci beaucoup for sharing all this beauty.
Have a wonderful week and many thanks for visiting me.
Hugs

Hello beautiful Anita!!!!!
What a fabulous post- I love visiting your blog every time you post a new masterpiece!!!!!!
Wouldn't it be the best if we could meet in Paris tomorrow morning for coffee & breakfast? If only travel wasn't complicated & we could magically blink our eyes and be with the friends we wish to be with and the places we want to be!!!!!
I bought a beautiful vintage white crochet long dress with scalloped edges at the hem and it's short sleeved..... it's so pretty. It's very difficult to locate white vintage crochet that's in pristine condition with no stains.
I also bought a pair of silver sparkly heels with silver metallic heels.
My husband & I went to see The Great Gatsby this weekend!!!!! We loved it; we saw the 3-D version. What a feast for the eyes!!!!! You really feel as though you've been transported to 1922 and are experiencing Gatsby's world of parties and decadence!!!!! The costume design is A-1 and the jewelry is just gorgeous!!!!!!! You should go see it!!!!!!
Hope you had a fabulous weekend!!!!!
Love & Hugs,
Shannon

Bonjour Anita, I will miss participating, but I HOPE to look in on some of the loveliness this train will be embarking on! <3
Anita,
Only a few more days until FRANCE Simply Irresistible, and I am putting the final touches on my contribution to the party.
I do not know how to "grab" the button. The way I've done this with others is to copy the html code that appears under the button, but I cannot find your html code. Can you send an email message with suggestions for what to do, please?
Also, if you would like to include my name in the list of participants, please do. Since the others have their names listed, I would like to give you that option.
Judith
lovely !! lovely !! lovely!!!
Anita always enjoy all you show !!!
XOXO

I usually create my blog post as stream of consciousness. Now this has taken some work! I have already rewritten several times. WHo knows what I will have by Friday? But I am SOOOO looking forward to seeing what all of your blog friends come up with. Vive la France!
I've got my spec's on and I'm ready to read. Must make a pot of coffee for I shall be here for awhile!
Oh I am sad that you can't locate some sparkle jeans. Every time I wear mine I am wondering if you are wearing your. I usually wear mine when I am out to dinner with my HM, but I wore them on Sat evening with my entire fam and I was nervous to have my grandies sit on my lap for fear they would scratch them or pick at them. So I have learned they are only for just me, shopping or dining with HM or the gal pals. See you on Friday.................
you who...
so do i repost
on friday my
visions of france
of do you use the
link i have already
sent...i am confused
but then that is
nothing new...confusion?
Hi Anita, Your talent more than amazes me every time!! I am so happy to participate in your vision and party. What would be really wonderful is if next year you could arrange the trip for all of us to Provence! I hope I can get all of my linking together! xo
Anita dear,
It's my birthday tomorrow, so please stop by and say hello. Nel is doing a post, and I have no idea what it will be hehehe.
I just wanted you to know because you mean so much to me.
Love,
~Sheri
I can't wait to be a participant of this remarkable French expression Party!!! French in all languages of virtual photography!
Oooo! I like the food photos...I was beginning to get hungry just viewing them. I could almost taste the bread...and were those black truffles? They looked amazing.
I know this will be a blog party beyond all blog parties!!!
The expectation is high here among all those who are going to participate.
And thank you dear Anita for the chance for being in the draw for the French Essence book.
We were in Napa last week and the feel is similar to being in France with all of the vineyards and rolling hills. I do love our own California wine country! It is superb!
Until Friday my dear....

Oh...I did notice when you mentioned my blog name you used an extra 'e' on 'whimsey'...such is the English language! I always spell 'lacy' without the 'e' as some spell it lacey.(The dictionary shows it spelled both ways) Google Blogger would not accept it when I wanted to spell 'Whimsey' with an 'e' in it either...such is life!
tscat@sbcglobal.net
Dear Anita,
What a beautiful start to my day....Vicki has inspired so many of us to live a beautiful life. As do YOU!!
I am excited to participate in this link party with all things French on Friday.
And, would love to win Vicki's beautiful book. Though, if I don't....I'll just have to order it, as I know it would bring me great joy!
xoxo Elizabeth
Hi Dearest Anita,

I would love to win a copy of the book.
My post is ready - has been for a week, written and re-written. I can't wait to read all the other posts.
Morning sweet friend..just enough time to pop over and tell you that I am thinking of you today before I dash out the door!
Hope your day is filled with surprises and sunshine!
We are going into a long weekend..so off to visit my parents tomorrow..it will be nice to see them. Hugs to you today and for the weekend.xoxxo

Oh My Gosh! I've been consumed by an event we are doing this weekend, and forgot to do the France post. I am sooo sorry! I would still love to do it in the next day or so, if it's not too late. For now though, so not to confuse anyone, I guess you should take the link down. Again, I apologize, and if it is too late, I completely understand.
Thanks so much.

I just read your comment on Burlap Luxe - that is how far I have gotten on my "trip through France". You said you do not use your own pictures, but your own words. Your own words are beautiful. And, your posts fit with perfectly with one of the phrases on Burlap Luxe "pieces that standing alone have no value". You take photos that standing alone are lovely, but put together with your words they become amazing.
Anita dear, stopping in again to thank you for an amazing fun day of visiting and meeting new friends. Oh my goodness so many wonderful photos to enjoy.
Merci, and I hope your are taking a well deserved rest. Hope you decide to do this again!
