As the afternoon slides towards night, I will look forward to saying hello 2012! And also, goodbye Pentax. You see, Santa was kind to me, so I am going to have a brand new camera to discover and more photographs to share with you of my corner of the world.
Wherever you are and whomever you are with, please know that I am sending my heartfelt wishes for the year ahead. May we all have good health, feel the warmth of love and the prickly sensation of adventure! As always, may hope lift you and guide you onwards.
With much gratitude and happiness in my heart…
Thanks Marie, you too! Your blog is gorgeous!
that great news a New camera :),,,have a lovlely week
Elizabeth, I think that I WROTE about the Pentax letting me down so much here that he felt obligated to give me a new one! Heehee. Try it, it just might work!
Thanks for your wonderful wishes as always Virginia. I haven't posted yet about our first meal–insanity! As I am superstitious I take these things quite seriously..Bisous!
I left a comment here the other day – but it seems to have evaporated into cyberspace….anyway, just wanted to pop in to say hope that the year is a fab one for you and Remi. Certainly sounds like it is starting on a rather lovely foot, mimosas and all, so I hope it continues into a year of magic & laughter & lovely surprises. Virginia xx
ps – jealous of the new camera…but delighted that you have it because we get to see the fruits of it! So all is good!
Thank you for your lovely thoughts and wishes.
A new camera …. I think Remi needs to chat to my husband! Despite my hints – with diminishing subtleness as Christmas drew closer – there was no camera under the tree. However, I did receive a lens hood to replace the one I lost last year!! Right theme, wrong item!
Bisous.
Yes, Karena! I will continue sending good energy for health, happiness and creativity for the year ahead. And I will enter your giveaway but it seems very, very greedy to do so! I have my prize. 🙂
V, oh no–we wouldn't want that happen. Certainly as the Seine is not exactly as clean as it used to be. But yes, I am one happy girl.
What could be better than l iving in France with a brand new camera! I think every trip to Paris my Canon is going to lay down and die on me and I'd have to then throw myself off the Pont Neuf!

Heather Thank you for your friendship and encouragement, which I know will be enduring!
Happy New Year to you & Ben!
I hope you will enter my Giveaway from Serena & Lily!
