French Decor is Everywhere!

I love all the French decor that keeps popping up all over Blogland.
I just can't seem to get enough french ribbon, french tags, french linens, french writing, french architecture, and french pillows.

Like this french inspired burlap pillow with rosettes.  I made it yesterday and was tickled pink that the image turned out good.

These two burlap pillows are still waiting for a home.
They are in my etsy shop.

Suddenly I'm hungry for french toast....

Your Paris Flea Market pillow is great! You are so talented!

Now THAT ended on an unexpectedly yummy note. And here it is, morning.....hmmmmmmmmmmm.......

I love the French stuff too, ESPECIALLY when it's done by people who pull it together and display with a bit of flair, like you.

Chani said...

Hi Sissie, I'm really excited about this too, I love the French style, both Vintage Paris and Countryside! I'm working at the moment on some typical French things that I'm going to sell in a new webshop soon, maybe you would like to stop by when I open.
A bientôt, Chani from Paris

Hi Sissie:I'm a new blogger and came across your blog. It is so beautiful to look at. I love your kitties, too. My love for cats turned into a business near Ottawa, Canada. I've been in-home cat-sitting for 15 years and I love it. Your burlap pillows are gorgeous. I'm your new follower. Take care, Deb

Then you can contact them and start comparing selection and pricing. The addition of a version of each song that doesn't include a piano accompaniment is simply amazing because it allows you to play along with the band if you want to. What I like to do is pretend I am actually sitting for the exam. how to play piano man on piano piano playing dog 2010
