Paris Party


Wouldn't I have loved to have gone back to
Paris
for my anniversary again this year,
but alas, that wasn't to be, so I
created a bit of Paris in my back yard.


Just a little down the hill I can buy macarons
that almost make me feel like I am at a patisserie.
These were rose flavored.


Perfect to pair with all of the stunning red roses in my garden.


I have set a romantic table for two using my fun
Eiffel tower plates.


Everything is black and white with a punch of red.


My French garden is the perfect spot to place my 
romantic mirrored table.


The antique mirrored effect of the table is so
beautiful on the patio.


The table is filled with fresh roses from the garden.


These are some of the most beautiful roses.  The flowers are 
fabulous right now and I love to cut them and bring them in
and enjoy them.


Sparkling red napkins with a jeweled napkin ring
seem perfect for the placesetting.


Oh, the intensity of the red.





Under the Eiffel tower plates are plates featuring
 French estate homes.  I love how they capture the beauty
of the wonderful homes you see in France.




This wonderful romantic heart with wings is a treasure
I brought back from Cabo.  


Here is a view looking back over the roses.


The finishing touch of course is the addition of the rose flavored
macarons.  What a wonderful way to bring Paris to us.

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

  17. What a wonderful idea to bring a mirrored table out into the garden/patio area! What is a more beautiful reflection than nature itself? Brilliant! You set a gorgeous table, Jacqueline, and the Parisians should be jealous! :-) I love the punches of red against the neutral black and white. Your roses are magnificent! I could kill a rose bush just by looking in its general direction. :-( Sadly, not my forte. I hope your anniversary celebration is as fabulous as last year...even without the passport!

    The black, white and silver are nice but then the red accents - gorgeous. Perfect red roses too Jacqueline.

  24. WOOOOOOOOOOOO JACQUELINE! Your garden....that is enough to stop me in my tracks. BUT THAT MIRRORED TABLE???? It is exquisitely placed amongst what looks to me a European style garden in the lushest of greens. That is what I have going and it is so peaceful! But your tablescapes are magnificent here! IF THIS IS what you are doing for a prep for the Paris Party, then what delightful and beautiful things do you have up your sleeve for JUNE 8? This is just perfect. HAVE A BLAST and let's dream dream DREAM!

    Many thanks for the mention!! Anita

  28. Can't believe it has already been a YEAR since you posted about going to Paris! Yikes, how time flies!
    The black and white looks so sharp and classic, and the pops of red are stunning!

  29. I would say you've done a terrific job creating Paris in your own back yard. I'm glad you mentioned that you bought the macaroons because for a split second I was even more impressed! (:

  30. Hi Jacqueline, I was starting to feel sad that you could not go to Paris for your anniversary and then I remembered those fabulous pictures of Cabo !!!! and I wasn't feeling so sorry anymore! :) Just kidding. I would love to have you go to Paris again and show us more wonderful places there. I don't know what is the matter with me today. When I saw that rose I actually inhaled thinking I would enjoy the delightful aroma that only those full red roses have. Your photos and the table setting are beautiful and the macaroons look so delish! Have a wonderful day. Linda
