Loving France

Oh how funny! My foot ended up in the photo!
I have this thing for France...and have for a very long time.
I think the intrigue started with some watery panel type glimpses of Paris on the wall of my parents' bedroom on my mom's side. They were beautiful black and white fine ink sketches with water color of the Seine, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triumphe etc. I have had an affinity for anything French for a very long time! Anyway, the deal is, for the past few summers, I've been satisifying this interest with a few good reads about France. This year my new one is Ina's book (thanks Christina Pendleton Miller for the suggestion -- she used it as a guide for her trip to France and went to every place in the book!) Today I was out hunting down Euro sham inserts, curtains, a lamp and a bulletin board and happened upon a copy at TJMaxx for $19.99 (much better than the $35.99 suggested retail) I'm excited for my "trip" again this summer to France -- Paris this time!
