A Paris Party Sponsored by Castles Crowns and Cottages! I love it!

June 8, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 31 Comments

Today thanks to Anita atCastles Crowns and Cottageswe get to go on a little escape from our regularly scheduled life to visit one of the most magical places in the world.

A city of lights

Where the shadows of time

Allow us to sit back and relax and forget about life

 

Pinterest

Or take in the sights.

 We can stop and smell the roses

  Take a walk in the park

Or go for a ride!

 We can sit and think

About the past

Or the present.

We can dream about love.

Or perhaps we could follow a map

To our hearts desire!

Whatever we do on this magical trip will remind us that….

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Enjoy all of the Paris links at Castles Crowns and Cottages!

All images take by me except the balcony scene, it is from Pinterest!

    Elizabeth, it's not a hazard that you bear the name of famous queens, you do speak the most glorious words and surprise the most beautiful glimpses of life :). I've never been to Paris but it's one of my secret wishes to speak French on rue de la Seine :).
    Je t'embrasse 🙂

    Elizabeth dear, your walk through Paris is gorgeous!
    Your photography skills are terrific…and that main lock you chose to photograph is in Russian!
    Isn't this so much fun?
    Dear friend, this week has been so crazy…with end-of school, birthdays and other events.
    I have missed you!
    So glad you had a wonderful time following the Jubilee…I managed to see a bit of the flotilla…that was quite a sight…and all of the people in the streets, balconies..wow! Very moving.
    Enjoy your weekend, sweet friend…and all of the Parisian adventures!
    Sending love,
    – Irina

    Bonjour Elizabeth!
    Aren't we having a wonderful time at the Paris party?? I met Anita last year at the first one, and I'm so glad she's doing it again! I have been following you for awhile, but have not been too active due to internet problems!
    These are lovely photos that you have taken! I do so enjoy it when people put up their own work. It gives us such a personal view. I am blown away by that one from the Eiffel Tower [?} Wouldn't it make a great wall panel behind a bed??
    I have "liked" you on your facebook page. I am there as French at Heart.
    Amitiés, chérie,
    dawne

    Those pictures are brilliant. I especially love the close up of the locks… so often it is from a distance and you don't appreciate the lovely thought that goes behind them. I do feel like we are all rendezvous-ing in a special place to enjoy Paris… almost like being there.

    What a beautiful post and I am sooooo glad to know that you took all of the photos too! Doesn't the Paris Party make you wish you were back? You have wonderful images and a wonderful eye for photography. I am going to have to say that I want my Paris breakfast on the Pinterest balcony, not just on a park bench! Have a great time in Paris whenever you return!

    Elizabeth, this is just the best! I love the Stravinsky Fountain by Niki de Saint Phalle. I almost included a photo of it in my post. Also considered sharing a photo of the Locks of Love on the bridge. 😉 Thanks for sharing all these great images. Fabulous post!
    Glad to find your blog as well…….Sarah

    G'day Elizabeth.
    Great images. I loved the pickie of the Eiffel Tower…all bokeh looking…and the one with the large wheel and the statue of the lion bang smack in the center wearing a circular garland of flowers (to match the wheel!)…Joan of Arc is amazing…though I can't say the same for that modern art 'statue' Haha.
    I have also checked out your other posts re yummy muffins…wow!…bet they tasted GOOD.

Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank y Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank you my friends for all of your kind messages, thoughts and prayers.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe.
