Anita, what a wonderful French party. It truly is Simply Irresistible. Your introduction is magnificent...sound, sight, nostalgia, perfectly paired images with your captivating words... THANK YOU for hosting such a fantastic party. So far, I've only been to eleven party sites because I look through all their older posts, too. And, I've found so many new FRIENDS to follow.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to visiting each and every one of these amazing bloggers because I know I will find many more new friends as I read their IRRESISTIBLE sites.
Thank you for including me in this extraordinary adventure.
Are you sure this is the last FRANCE link party?
Judith
Help Anita! Someone has emailed that color in French should be couleur not couleu, as in my title. I used google translate, as I have only learned Portuguese as a second language! Please advise me!
ReplyDeleteI love that Audrey gif, and the diamonds...they are all beautiful...like you! :)))
ReplyDeleteThank you, chere et belle Anita...
YES! They are from Margo's! Aren't the colors fantastic?
So happy you enjoyed that, dear one...
Party on! :)))
LOVE!
Beautifully posted my dear. I am off on my voyage to France...
ReplyDeleteBonjour mes amie...
I adore your blog! It always leaves me thinking or smiling. Thank you for both!

Dear friend, I finally found time to pay a visit to some great participants in this FUN party... it never ceases to amaze me how many talented and enthusiastic women there are in the blogosphere. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to meet so many new artful bloggers. And, wow, what a delightful surprise this sweet video is ... and original as well !!! I am excited!!! You are such a thoughtful soul..
ReplyDeleteLove your way!!!
Hi there, what a wonderful idea you had. I adore this! Please send me your e-mail address. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
ReplyDeleteOoo! The video was superb!!! All things French!!! Lovely! Very lovely!
ReplyDeleteLet's let loose and dance our way through this week...I plan on making a post everyday for the French Blog Party...there is so much of France to see!
Thank you so very much for hosting this relaxing and charming event!
We all need our 'France' 'fix' every once in a while so I know it will be better than a travelog, with different interpretations of what France means to everyone.
Ciao!

You always surprise us with your imagination and creativity! I see lots of my favorite blogs to visit! Thank you so much my friend! I'm afraid to try to say anything in French! haha! Sweet hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteYou must be having fun, look what you have wrought! I am 1/4th of the way through France, but believe I will take little bites at a time. ( I do hope my very odd sense of humor is not lost in translation! AKA FRench Hens)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to spend the weekend. Thanks bunches. Bonnie
ReplyDeleteHello Anita
ReplyDeleteThank you for inviting me to this wonderful journey. I will have so much fun travelling everywhere.

Hello Anita
ReplyDeleteA delightful post and you say it so beautifully when you say it is "the smaller stories"which all make up the whole story.
I am looking forward to reading the various bloggers views.
Have a delightful week
Helen xx
Good evening, Anita. I've stopped by several times to click on your links and visit with your lovely guests. So far, day one has been delightful. I said hello to some familiar faces, some blogging friends I visit with regularly which I actually met through your party last year. I can't believe it's been that long. I've also met new neighbors and have been pleasantly surprised by some spectacular pages. Oh the colors, the sights, the stories, and the creativity.
ReplyDeleteI am calling it a day, but I look forward to returning for more fun soon.
Thank you again for a lovely party.
Bonsoir.
Que de commentaires élogieux, et bien mérités, ma foi. Merci de ton invitation, chère Anita. Je suis heureuse de participer à ta grande fête et j'ai mentionné l'occasion sur mon blog cet après-midi. Super idée! Bisous et bon weekend. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

Thanks.
This is going to be my guilty pleasure this week. I think I might have to go to the library to do this, Anita, becaue I will be in St. Augustine again. I am escaping the brick masons here at our house who are working their magic on some old house issues. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLoved your post. I want that blue car and that blue sofa. Lovely!
XO,
Sheila
Anita, A lovely introduction to our week of celebrating France! Thank you so much for hosting. It feels as if I am really holidaying in France visiting all the wonderful blogs that have joined in.

ReplyDeleteAnita, Thank you for giving us this opportunity to enjoy so many unique glimpses into the French life. I am having a ball.
ReplyDeleteI've thoroughly enjoyed reading several of the posts on Paris! It has definitely made me want to go back! I also pinned the kitchen! So beautiful! Hope you are doing well!

I visited the Château de Pontivy in Brittany and I'd be delighted if you could add that post to your party. It's so nice to meet that many people who love France.
ReplyDeleteIl ne faut pas attendre pour être heureux !
ReplyDeleteje vais réécouter l'album de Patrick Bruel de ce pas... ces chansons sont intemporelles ! Merci chère Anita, la pluie qui tombe sans cesse me fait perdre le sourire et ton message me le rend ! Bises
Bonjour mon amie Anita
ReplyDeleteI love early sunday-mornings because all is so quiet .... I only hear the little birds .....
I love the silence around me when I just woke up and all is empty ....promissing ...... possible.....
Wish I could sneak in through your backdoor and sit at your kitchentable
both in our pijama's .... Fresh coffee ....croissants in the oven ... and say
OH Anita ....How wonderful is the journey YOU started and how many are traveling in your train and making new beginnings .....
And than we would say nothing ...
just MUSE and nip our coffee and smile and muse and smell the croissants and ENJOY ......
Well ...here I am in my Holland on my sundaymorning all in silence ..
and You are here ....on my mind
in my thoughts and I smile .....
You are an amazing sweet soul Anita Thank you for organising this tour
Big hug .....
Hello Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm working my way down the list, only 15 more to go....
what fun it's been!
~ Violet
I thought it a good idea to walk through France. I am going very slow, as to not miss anything or hopefully not anyone..
ReplyDeleteBebe has been told more than ONCE to turn over to the other side.. She seems to be happy just as she is.. teee
Having a grand time Anita..
Merci cher ami
Penny
Bon jour, lovely Anita. With coffee at hand and ready for more party visits this Sunday morning, I thought I'd stop by and say hello. So far today I have visited a couple of beautiful pages, but I simply adore Lynne's Dreams on 34th Street. Sigh...her post was the first that made me cry...tears of joy, of course. Her mention of a storybook Saturday and passing out red balloons instantly transported me to The Shop Around the Corner. :( I'm sitting here trying to come up with a creative solution for table and shop. hahahaha
ReplyDeleteLove inspiration, love this party, and love you.
xoxo's
Bonjour! ;)
ReplyDeleteMa chère Anita. I am back! Your event is a huge success! Thank you for including me. I have already met so many wonderful people thanks to you this week. I felt bad I had not had a chance to prepare a brand-new story for the event (being in the middle of a divorce while raisin a child and working has a tendency to throw your schedule off at times...) but as i was watching the French news on Friday, I was inspired to write a new post. I have published it this morning and linked back here. I hope you don't mind. Merci ma chère amie, et à bientôt... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Anita! Off to visit the links. Be back soon!
ReplyDeleteKeri
Dearest Anita,
ReplyDeleteThis has been such a wonderful opportunity: ALL thanks to you and your wonderfully well-behaved guests :-)
I had a marvellous time visiting quite a few splendid ladies. My mother has been here for a precious, short visit so today I haven't taken the time to visit many people: I will be taking the opportunity tonight.
I hope you are basking in the party aftermath glow although it's not over yet, of course!
Hugs,
Stephanie
Dear Anita I just want to let you know how much I am enjoying out party and visiting everyone. It is so special to see the different experiences of France, all unique!

Oh Anita, I wish I'd known... I have been pre-occupied with a newborn litter and I am exhausted. I would loved to participate. Especially since I m,ake alot of French stuff :)
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to stop by and say hello.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm afraid I won't be able to participate this time. I could have made a post before the litter arrived, but I am so exhausted I can not even think straight right now. I hope you understand. Hopefully next year.
ReplyDeletexoxo
Kerri
Anita,
ReplyDeleteHow right you are.. Would that be wonderful to bring the world together?
p.s. Bebe has turned over... I gave her a ring on the telly.
Ahhh...how fun. Off to take a vacation to France. Never leaving my chair...priceless. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, all this fun is making me want to schedule another trip to France. There is so much more to see and do and I have loved every minute of my visits there. We found the people to be lovely and friendly. We encountered nothing but beauty in France!
ReplyDeleteHave fun all week!
Hello Anita!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun party. I am touring some more this evening. So glad you are keeping this going for a week, because it's going to take me about that long to see all of the participants. You have such interesting and talented blog friends.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
Heidi
Haha... This made me smile today!
ReplyDeleteI really do need a holiday in France. Your photos has taken me straight there without a care! ;-)

Dearest Anita-
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful post with fabulous images!!!!! Love Audrey and the Lucy image is great!!!!!
How was your weekend? We have bad storms here for the next 2 days- big bummer!!!! Hopefully no damage will occur- there have been some horrible tornados in the plains. These storms scare me because the winds can be so strong!!!!!
Wishing you a wonderful week!!!!!
Luv & Hugs,

Thank you so much Anita for sponsoring this gorgeous fete! I'm popping around to see all the wonderful posts. I feel like a real traveler, (without the cumbersome luggage of course!)
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Bon matin chere Anita, Vive la France!! I hopped on the Thalys which brought me to Le Gare du Nord a Paris et I had a good look around, loving everything I saw, every little corner of France is magical.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a tres belle journee xx
This is a wonderful party which you are hosting, wish I had more time to take part, but instead I will just read all and enjoy. Minerva x
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Anita! Thanks for stopping by today. I have yet to get through this list ~ I am enjoying each and every one:) Glad you are enjoying your springtime and I do hope you get that lavender foot soak. That sounds amazing and I could use one myself!

This might be the best one yet Anita! Loving everyone's posts! I'm still making my rounds; so much to see! Happy Tuesday bella. XX
ReplyDeleteYes, you are 'sparkles' to me! Thank you for your fun and spirited words to brighten my morning!
ReplyDeleteYes dear, I'm having a wonderful time with the link party! I am just looking at the ones who came on board later. It's been a special time for me. Thank you so much for everything you do, and for everything you are.
ReplyDeleteLove,
~Sheri
As always I am loving your images. They do make me happy, everyone one of them!
ReplyDeleteMust take a look at the others in the Simply Irresistible party.
I did it!
ReplyDeleteI visited everyone and left a comment on nearly every post.
What a wonderful concept for a party. I enjoyed myself immensely.
Oh Anita! You are a doll. I hope your days haven't been too crazy. This day is a big blogging day for me; photo shoot, shopping a bit for better lipstick and blogging to high heaven with my lovely new and old (you, hahahaha) followers!
ReplyDeleteILOVEBLOGGING!

Hi Anita,
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good hostess! I am making more rounds again tonight. Thanks so much for putting this all together for us.
Heidi
I love the music, so cheery!
ReplyDeleteVive la France :)
Hello, lovely Anita, thank you for visiting my blog today! I somehow managed to delete your comment but copied it from an email and posted it on your behalf. Silly me!
ReplyDeleteI’m having so much fun visiting all the other blogs, much nicer than sitting in my office looking out at the rain!
Anita, my dear, so wonderful to have the honorable hostess pop in for a surprise visit. Yay! Always so good to hear from you. I am actually setting up for part two of my French goodies...my very own attempt at the yummy macarons. Shhh...I actually liked mine better than the ones at the cafe. ;) I think it was because I whipped up my favorite orange chocolate ganache. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I hope to tie that in somehow with my French travels and the Memorial Day challenge. ;) You know me and this creative mind...non-stop!! :) I remember how your party last year inspired me to have a mini series titled French Summer. So much fun.
Well, I'm glad I popped in your mind because I am always sending love your way.
xoxo's
PS-Yes, I am still making my way getting to know some of your lovely guests and I am savoring it without rushing.
MUAH!!!!
Anita,I dropped by to tell you I'm working hard to catch up with all the wonderful comments all the partier's, including sweet you, left on My blog.The whole two weeks We were out of town.I even preposted for the first time.We took a road trip up the coast to Victoria,BC.to celebrate 100 lbs lost,Thanks to Paul's kind heart.We stayed at the Empress and had Tea :)I'll post it later.Love Denise
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post. You tell a story well, Anita.
ReplyDeleteNot much here for the guys, though. Except all the ladies, of course :)
Dearest Anita,
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if you saw this comment from Chrislyn. She replied to your first comment on my blog on 5-17.
"Anita! This is Chrislyn, Lynne's daughter. Thank you so much for the perfect drawing of my babies. You did an excellent job of predicting what Ben will look like as a one year old. The little boy you drew looks a lot like my husband as a baby. It was such a thoughtful gift from my mom and will be a beloved piece of art in our home for years to come."
Now...from...me.
So many lives you have touched, my friend.
So many minds you have enriched, and hearts that you have filled with joy, love and laughter!
Thank you for this beautiful gift!
I
HAD

Oh, Anita, everything is so beautifully you.
ReplyDeleteLove your travels and what a beautiful French copper tub to soak in, I'm next after you so save some hot water for me.
How I would love to have an old French farmhouse kitchen with a burning wood stove and a copper soaking tub off in the corner, so rustically primitive.
The shutters are my next project of Frenchness to add to my kitchen window, love the window of shutters in aged white, sigh!
Anita I am feeling much better, still a bad cough and trying to move about the house today. I moved a piece I painted a few months back into my front living room taking the French chest that was in its raw driftwood finish to another room, not sure if it feels right yet, it's a lower piece and a bit longer then the French pieces that was in its place. I will see how it feels in a couple of days. You know when one is sick and everything feels like it needs a cleaning and a up styling so this is how my day went.
Come visit soon my friend.
See you and all you inspire soon.
Bisous
