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.

Words to Eat By
"Though never a very good dieter, she'd found a rule of thumb that kept her from blimping out as her metabolism aged - eat what you want, but not all of it. So if she wanted cheesecake, she made cheesecake, had a slice, and took the rest to a friend or someone in her church who needed a pick-me-up."

ReplyDeleteLove the frame:) I must say it does look bare when all comes down..but clean and tidy:)
ReplyDeleteIt's really not the end of the world..it seems overwhelming but once it's done it's done..Guess where I get this coaching from? My ear husband.. I read a quote once about you can tell about a person's qualities when they are untangling Xmas lights..
He loves Christmas.. and is never discouraged..helps w/ it all:)
He is retired though..:) But..he did before too ..I can't remember!
I love the fact that you leave some sparkle out..
It leads to freshening up and adding little touches don't you find?
Welcome back:)
I meant my dear husband:)
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline - can't wait for your tutorial next week!! I love your daughter's idea of playing Christmas music while you put away the decorations - I'm definitely going to remember that from now on.

Love the change out. I always feel bad taking Christmas down. But I sparkled my dining room table!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love all the sparkle too and did a winter mantle vignette for the first time this year. Your candles are so pretty, I love the dangling crystals. They look so wonderful with the purple and the beautiful frame w/the sparkly piece in the center of the bow. Very appealing vignette!
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, thank you for your comment on my post. It is still pretty surreal here in Tucson. I started to just send you an email but decided I wanted to see your blog. It is really lovely, and I love the name.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, lovin' the decanter! Welcome home:@)
ReplyDeleteSo Beautiful! Like what you would see at a Crystal Palace!!! What is the lavender bulb or bottle thingy. I LOVE that??? I LOVE leaving the white wintery scenes out till the end of February. Especially when there's SO MUCH SNOW this year!I LOVE the idea of Christmas music while UNDECORATING! I think I'll burn a CD with all the Snowy, Sleighridey songs JUST for that...Thank you for that idea and Thank you for sharing your Beautiful home with us!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you,
Donna
I love the sparkle and glitter of your winter trayscape! And I CANNOT wait for your picture frame tutorial! It's a beautiful way to display photos of loved ones!
ReplyDeleteSparkle and shine! A beautiful post for a January day!
ReplyDeleteI agree, it looks so bare once the Christmas decor is put up. I've been trying to remedy that with some retail therapy. Your tablescape is really wonderful. the ornament really makes it zing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous trayscape. Love that word.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned your blog in my last post. I received a blog award and I wanted to pass it along to you. Your blog is amazing and I enjoy visiting it so much. It would be a shame not to share it.

It is sad to see the end of the season...I love that idea to keep one or two things out...I do the same..just something small ( a new ornament from someone that has given it to me with all their heart!)
ReplyDeleteGlad you back safe...I hear the weather in the States is aweful!
Blessings Shel x
very nice... so clean, personalized, and dainty.. love it
ReplyDeletehave a great week

Jacqueline,
ReplyDeleteThat tray scape is elegantly exquisite! Not a HUGE fan of purple, but that royal purple votive has stolen my heart! I do use purple hued glass as accents in my bath! Thankl you for this lovely post. I'll be watching for the frame tutorial!
Fondly,
Pat
Very sparkly trayscape. You could always sing the song "I Always Cry When I Take the Tree Down." Yes, there really is a song like that on the "Forgotten Carols" album or you could sing "Undeck the Halls." Ciao, Joni
ReplyDeleteYou really have the best of both worlds:) The photo of your granddaughter is beautiful, as well as the frame!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so sweet, I know what you mean about things being bare after Christmas! I feel the same way, so always buy something after the Holiday (50-75% off) with some sparkle and then when I put it away, it's like a new item next year! anne
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I always keep a few "winter" decorations after I take down Christmas, too. I love changing the look with the seasons.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to play Christmas music while un-decorating. I'm going to try that this weekend when I take down my tree. I love your wintery sparkles!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are just so lovely. That purple is one of my sister's favorite colors.
