What a fun package!
ReplyDeleteI loved your Paris blues. Blue has always been my favourite colour. I remember being shocked, at about 12 years of age, when a teacher told me that blue was 'a cold colour'. Not to me!
beautiful series! your photos remind me of my short visit to Paris a few years ago--i hope to go back one day. i love your header photo.:p
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun gift! Your blues are gorgeous. What a fun way to visit Paris through a color. Makes me want to return just to photograph it through a blue lens!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeletejust wonderful impressions of Paris. Blue but not making Blues. Congratulations to the giveaway. I think, you are just the right one for this wonderful things.
Best greetings, Johanna
Oh Sarah I am so sorry...our house in deepest darkest Cornwall is so remote we have no internet or signal of any kind...part of its appeal! And so I have only just seen your message.Of course you may share Mils sampler and any other images...thank you very much for asking and I am only sorry I didn't get back to you.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile...Paris, such a bonne idee!

ReplyDeleteI loved seeing your Paris photos. It reminded me of my trip there a few years ago.
Ah Paris, what a great selection of photos.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, Your Paris blues are beautiful. My daughter often wears her hair in a French braid. When she was a little girl she wore it in braids almost every day and still does the French braid often for work days. Those pictures of the street signs are making me long for Paris. I haven't been for many years. And I love the piece of pottery. Ooh la la ! Linda

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the paris blues. Such beautiful pictures of Paris, we visited years ago and have such wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteann
Beautiful, beautiful photos! I have a "thing" for doors so I really loved the ones you showed ... and that sweet plate with the gardener!
ReplyDeleteYou are correct...no words are needed for those gorgeous pictures....ooohhh, it makes me want to go there so bad.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Post Sarah. I love all those "French Blues". My Favorite picture is the one of the three pretty ladies smiling, BUT what captured my attention IS the "Man in the background that is wishfully thinking about the chair, in front of ANTIQUITES DECOR". Can we read his mind? I think so!hehe
ReplyDeleteWhat a FUN win you had!!! I've entered her new giveaway, LOVE the little door knocker...Thank you for telling us about it...
Have a wonderful week,
Big Hugs,
Donna
Delightful post, dear Sarah.
ReplyDeleteMade me quite nostalgic, might just have to jump on a train some day soon and head up to the City of Light for some retail therapy.
Love the doors & door knockers, & what a treat to see Mr H there amongst the blues!
Magnificent Paris blues. I had iris bloom in my new yard this year that were that exact color. I love blue, it is such fresh color. thanx!
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteLovely blues! When touring Paris, I had to stay with "the group" and missed some of the everday sights I'd like to have experienced! Thank you for this post!
Fondly,
Pat
What gorgeous photos you have of Paris! I have yet to make all my rounds for this party...but I'm so enjoying it. I've noticed a theme perhaps in so many of the blogs...the GORGEOUS doors and windows and signs in the decor over there. WOW...Wish we had that here in the States.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your post. Have a lovely week!
Heidi (hi-d)

All of those Paris pictures brought back memories. Except the blue skies... we had grey skies. November is like that :/

Sweet Mister and I agreed many many years ago that the color we both live the best with is blue...any shade of blue. I've always referred to myself as a "blue girl." Love the angles taken around marvelous Paris...I also love Paris. Congratulations on that lovely give away. Cherry Kay

ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, What great photographs of people and places in Paris. Love your beautiful random blues. I also have a collection of door pics. Of course the French Faience plate is one of my favorite photos along with the dutch (I think) charger. Great snap of you enjoying Monet (your hair is gorgeous), and what a great shot of your husband in front of the romantic Seine! It must have been such a special trip! Congratulations on winning the brocante giveaway. Such pretty items.

Awesome images Sarah. I love the folky plate and bright painting especially. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, beautiful blues! My favorite color for eyes!
ReplyDeletewhat beautiful pictures! Makes me want to go. Ah, those blue doors....
ReplyDeleteI am trying to catch up with all your posts. I loved the package of party goods. Whatever celebration...you always have all the makings and talent for a great party.
And then I visited your garden. I am in awe. It is simply BEAUTIFUL.
Mine is still a mess in some places. We have too much rain. Plants are being drowned, poor things.
Wishing you wonderful warm days,
Evi
Sarah, now I want to paint my door that French blue color! Those are all beautiful, and of course, I love the French pottery you showed. I'm pinning that first set of French doors. I'm trying to imagine what my house would look like with a door that color. I'm not sure I have a good enough imagination, but I sure am loving that color. laurie
ReplyDeleteYou have combined two things I dearly love -- Paris and Blue. And you couldn't have done it better! Gorgeous photos -- it is indeed the Paris I love.
ReplyDeleteWhat a divine post about Paris! You have made me even more excited than I already am about our trip to Paris this Christmas! I love this post Sarah-thanks so much for sharing these beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Natasha in Oz
