My first journal page, along with my traveling art supplies...
Ah... What a lovely month to be in France.
This was the little sitting area outside of our bedrooms with lovely french doors leading out to a balcony which I drew the first morning, (on my last post). The hat is one I bought at market. I loved the lacy effect
on the rim.
The chandelier over the table in our sitting room.
Entretemps was the name of a restaurant that we ate at in Bordeaux at the train station. We missed many trains on this trip, ( took us a while to get the hang of watching the "board" and running to the correct "voie").
Sunday Market
A beautiful sign at the train station.
Spices and Sunday market at Issigeac.
A very delicious quiche.
and one more shot of my flowers and paint supplies...
Lastly, I have received two new awards from Marina the lovely decorator and TV host from Argentina.
I am so excited and proud to share these awards with:
and River Bend Ranch
These blogs are incredible and a constant inspiration to me.

Thank you so much, I'm very flattered that you'd pass this award on to me! Sorry I haven't been round to comment lately, circumstances beyond my control!
Very much enjoyed your windows and doorways, I gravitate to portals in photos myself.

Roxanne,
your photographs make me want to hop on the next plane to Paris. My husband and I visited Paris in 2002. It was a trip that I will never forget. I have so many similar photos. Thank you for your kind comments on my blog. I purchased a speech dictation program for my computer today. I can now blog, e-mail, and type practically anything by just speaking into a microphone. It is such a joy to be able to do these things pain free.
I hope you have a super weekend.
Warmly,
Susan
