It's Pink, It's Pretty and It's Perfect!

That's what I thought
when I found
this absolutely beautiful blog!I just became so at peace
and happy
to be in this world
I floated off in the dreaminess
and pure joy
I was feeling



I knew I'd found a blog
I'd follow forever

My favourite designer Caroline Quartermaine
was showcased beautifully

With just more and more images
that celebrate life


And she is obviously soo talented,
even with her cupcakes

And then one of my favourite things,
hearts and english china


(I so want this!)


She introduced me to the fun of Marie Antoinette


And all the gorgeousness that goes with it


And of course to herself

The beautiful Frances,
MA the2nd
of

And more recently to her new website


As for her home.....


I think it's exquisite




Pure magic




The stuff that dreams are made of

Can you blame me for going off to dreamland?


Everything so perfect

Love these shutters

So elegant


Even has some whimsy



A very lucky daughter

I love the attention to detail
(Bobble trim on the curtains)
My magical blue


But the magic never ends!

The kitchen of my dreams


French furniture

Even a workspace you'd never want to leave


Except maybe to enjoy this poolhouse






Who needs resorts if you've got this!

This is my kind of resort
I looovvveee these cushions
Wish I was there!


but more than her glorious blog and home
is
the lovely friendship
and encouragement
she has given me
So I offer her these flowers
as a token of my gratitude
for the joy she gives me in so many ways

And these balloons
as a tribute
to the kindred spirits and soul mates
we have the pleasure of meeting through blogs




And finally this award to Frances
for her truly beautiful blog

That I can only describe as elegance
and luxury
with a warm, loving heart.
Many thanks Frances
for sharing your beautiful blog with us.
