Le Petit Parisien...










Even though I did not make any huge changes I am thrilled with how the bedroom came together. The tiny old shelf was a $10 flea market find....I love how soft and pretty it looks with the glass on it! New bedding and a new french pillow cover from Andrea (FADED PLAINS) just soften the whole look of the room....but I have to say my favorite part of the room is my "LE PETIT PARISIEN" a newspaper page from 1914 that John bought me on Sat. it looks like it should have been here all along...don't you think? Thank you all so much for you input on the bed,the more I thought about it the less brave I became,and you know I think leaving it black was for the best.....have a great day my friends..and as always thank you for taking time to stop by and say hello!!! ~Chrissy~

C'est La Vie.....







Out for a country drive on Sat.....when we spotted this charming little store in this grand old house....just look at all her treasures waiting for a new home....eye candy at its best! But alas....she was closed for the day.........heartbreaking!!!! Not much I could do.....except say "C'est La Vie" which just happened to be the name of the shop......how fitting!!! Enjoy your day my friends ~Chrissy~

Quiet afternoons......




Hello!!! I can not thank all of you enough for your well wishes.....I am just fine, Thursday is my last day of radiation ( SAWEEETTTT) ....I have done very little....I must confess I have even had afternoon naps....most of them right here in my favorite room...its quiet and cozy and oh so comfortable! One day I even curled up on the loveseat outside and that was me gone for a good hour! So should be back up and blogging next week....can not wait to catch up on all I have missed....wishing you all a lovely day! x0x0

Away for a bit......







Hello.....hope this finds everyone well!! Not a ruffle to be found in Toronto..can you believe it? Oh well....I did borrow this little shelf from the bedroom, I quite like it here(for now). I thought I should let you know too I may not be around much for the next couple of weeks....I start radiation treatments tomorrow for skin cancer and between that and Jess's graduation(so excited) & work
just not sure I can fit blogging in....so please bare with me & I should be back again in no time! Till then,all the best.....and thanks for coming by!!! x0x0

A Quiet Spot.....




I have found the perfect place.....to sit and read...to have a tea...or chat on the phone....or to do nothing at all ! John made the table from an old barn door and its just right for dining outside too.Oh and I want to thank everyone for all the sweet comments you left on my last post,you guys are amazing! Have a great week! x0x0
