It was lovely to visit Paris last year with Anita
so I am
delighted to be taking
a trip again this Spring!
Here is my contribution – a chunky
wooden block inspired by both my talented friend and a beautiful city.
I also include one of my favourite ever photographs and the best love story in our family (after mine!);
that
of my Mum and Dad.
They honeymooned in La Ville-Lumiere in 1967, and although no longer with us
he is still the love of her life!
This is them on a boat on La Seine,
Moet on ice!
Thank you Anita…
Love fee x
What a beautiful block and I love the saying on it! I graduated high school in 1967....I'm not far behind them! Lovely picture and what a handsome couple. Have fun in Paris!

Sweet story, and the block is lovely. Your blog is very happy, and it doesn't hurt that you're English because I'm a huge Anglophile and have been there 5 times.
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs,
Meri
I love your art work,so pretty and I bet fun to do.I'm a fan of all types of arts and crafts,but I work mostly with paper.Your tribute to your parents was so touching.See you in Paris!
ReplyDeleteDear Fee - or should I call you Fée (the French word for fairy but I'm sure you already know this) - I have shyly been in love with your beautiful blocks for quite a while now and since you were first on Anita's Paris Party list I popped over to see you last night. Such beauties you have made for this Parisian occasion. Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteI am a little more than fashionably late arriving at the same party but Anita kindly allowed me to post today instead inbetween the usual plethora of ballet performances, guitar exams, etc. we all have to fit into our end of school year lives.
Enough. It was a pleasure to meet you.
Greetings from France,
Stephanie
Beautiful art and beautiful memories.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you as a traveling companion in Anita's Parisian tour.
MUAH!

Precious Fee, I hope you got my email today with the address; I was having some email issues and I fear my message may not have gotten to you. Let me know! HAPPY PARTY TIME! Anita
ReplyDeleteFee, the photo of your parents in Paris is priceless! My mom also infused the love of France by giving me the name of her favorite french singer Sylvie Vartan. Your piece of art is beautiful and romantic as I believe is your soul. Delighted to have enjoyed it through Anita's Parisian celebration.
ReplyDeleteI am head over heels in love with people who love each other. Such a precious nostalgic photo
