Hello ~ bonjour ~ ciao!
And happy Bastille Day to you, my sweethearts.
You had a feeling I'd surface today like a pastel-tinted, ruffled submarine from the depths of my dark chocolate/latte/bubbly-{but-only-after-6:00pm}-fuelled sabbatical, didn't you? I sure hope so! And I will be back more regularly forthwith. Thank you for being so patient and sticking with me.
The inspiration for today's illustration has been sitting on my desktop ~ the photo, that is, not the exquisite creature in it ~ for a long time. Ever since our Paris compatriot Katie sent it to me. {Thanks, dear Katie. I love it, as you know!}
Let us seek out some pink éclairs as appetisers, and if our champagne flows too freely, there's always this option for a nap. And on that note ...
Happy Belated Francophile Friday to you!
{I'm sorry for the grey tone to the background - somehow I've found my illos are now showing that way here even though they are scanning cleanly. I'll be doing some site renovations very soon so I hope to resolve that issue then...}
