TRAVEL MEMORIES: ROOSTERS IN PARIS

While shopping during my last trip to Paris

I took this shot from outside a chocolate shop...

upon entering what I can only describe as chocolate heaven,

I spotted the pigeons outside and remember thinking all the birds

looked like friends. Thought these pics would be perfect for the

 Roosters and Chicks Party and A Stroll Through Life.

There are roosters in the yard at the  homestead,

looking quite French to me

check out French Country Cottage...

and roosters on my handpainted kitchen floor

(my back still aches)

Thanks for visiting.

summer

The palest of blush pink walls create a feel of a summer retreat . Sisal carpet underfoot provokes images of a sandy beach while white trim work and a large pale coffee table balance the chocolate brown accents, so sweet. enjoy...

Red White Blue and charming

Hoping your holiday is everything you want it to be. For me that includes a family cookout followed by relaxing with a stack of books and magazines....
or maybe in my yard at the Brayton Homestead, circa 1796, getting ready for its 213th Fourth of July....
or eating strawberries and cream (vintage needlepoint)...

but it is not a holiday until I bake Mom's famous chocolate pudding cake (shown above)! Have a wonderful holiday....

Angelina in Paris

Missing Paris.
Strolling along the streets of Paris, it draws you in.

The awning the color of rich chocolate, the diamond shaped insignia in the marbled tile entrance way announces "ANGELINA".

A peak in the window provides a glimpse of the glorious cafe' and chocolate shop. Could you have resisted? The food, the aromas and the decor did not disappoint. Enjoy the view from my gold gilded chocolate brown leather chair...
