Bonjour Melanie!!!!!
Those are so pretty!!!!!That's interesting because I bought a Madonna for the shop yesterday but I painted her, her face was green, didn't want her to look like the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz!!!!!Now she's a soft grey. and feels much better.MaryanneXO

j'imaginais bien que c'était du goût de Christian Lacroix mais pas de Pierre Bergé :-)
Ton commentaire m'a fait rire et je peux te dire que bof pour un pique nique, le lit c'est pas l'idéal ! J'espère que tu te portes mieux toi aussi et que tu n'as pas chopé un méchant rhume !
ps : je me demande si je n'ai pas des problèmes avec la poste car je n'ai toujours pas reçu ta lettre.je te tiens au courant.

Truly exceptional reflections on the history of a people!
O/T:
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed my first visit to France during my last road trip. I fell head over heel. Loved Lyon (the first picture of yesterday's post, of a fabric and passamenterie store, I took while thinking of you!), loved Evian, I'll have to try to get back there as soon as possible!
