Jacqueline
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."

ReplyDeleteI gave a white bridal shower for my cousin a few years ago. I loved the pure elegance. I had eight dozen white roses scattered about our home.
What a wonderful idea for the tulle. I think I'll look for some to have on hand. Hancock's is near where I work.

ReplyDeleteJacqueline -- that is the prettiest shower ever. Don't think I had one like that....:). Love the parasols, the initials and all the little touches that made it special. Of course I love your silverplate. Think I saw the crystal ball at Tai Pan this summer. Your peach pie is stunning too -- I love fresh peach pie. Joni
ReplyDeleteFirst, I almost sucked my tongue down my throat when I saw that Horchow flatware!!! Holy Moly!!! That is F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!! Geez Louise...I can't get over it! It is just exquisite! I want it! I gotta get it!! I MUST have it!!!!! Uh oh....hyperventilating! OK...I'm back. That was a close call! Moving on......What a beautiful gesture for you to open your home and put out such lovely things for your niece! Her Mom is quiet the talented crafter, isn't she? Wow! She must have had a LOT of patience to complete all of those projects!!! It all came together beautifully in the end, and I'm sure she will long remember it. Just as I will long remember that flatware! :-) Have a good week, Jacqueline!
