Hmmm. Today’s post is just a little thing, a mere will o’ the wisp. But I wanted to share some things that have been making me happy lately:
That the flower guy threw in a big bouquet of flowers with my roses. Just because. What are those flowers called anyway? My Mom and I both thought of “anemones” and then said at the same time “but wait, aren’t those sea creatures?”–we crack ourselves up.
That we finally hung up the Gobelin panel and it looks great. And that it was worth the carry-on back pain to haul back the cream cable throw and pillow (I suppose I am officially off my pillow detox now) from the Ralph Lauren outlet in the States (and no I didn’t use them on the flight back. No bedroom pillows onboard!).
Due to the generosity of my florist, who may or may not have a crush on me, we even have flowers in the bathroom, where Remi thought to put out the maritime watercolor that he found in a tiny shop in New Brunswick.
That my dog makes me laugh every…single…day. Hard.
That, upon hearing joyful shrieks outside of my window, I looked out and watched a waddling parade of mini-pirates, princesses and geishas stroll by, all dolled up for Carnival.
That freesias smell like the clouds of Heaven.
There you have it! And you? Anything making your heart go “hip, hip, hooray” today?
Beautiful roses and beautiful ranunculus! I cut my first bouquet of roses from my garden today. The are so beautiful, the fragrance divine! The ranunculus seeds I planted are sprouting and the David Austin Roses are bounding! Spring rains have arrived here in SoCal. Nature's tears feed the garden as nothing else!
Fun post!
Bisous, Chris
My spelling is awful, so I will leave the name of those gorgeous flowers to your other adoring readers.
Flowers bring life to every room! I adore your bathroom vignette… flowers and vintage boat paintings = perfection.
Oh, and that miniature parade… The children looked like they were having a grand time! I only wish adults could do the same! Why not?
Thank you for sharing such a glorious day with us.

Happy Days!! You made me smile today – so thanks for sharing they are all fantastic – especially your Gobelin panel! Cheers – here's ot another good one for you!!
And ps. do we have to ask ourselves so many questions when we can appreciate so many great things?
I should have known that I would have had some good answers here! Hope all is well with you, V, and your chubby cheeked grandchild too!
This is why we get along so well Elizabeth!
Gros bisous à toi aussi.
I so love that Jennifer. Why wait?
Oh gosh, I am scared to think. My Moms most wonderful rescue just had a bit of the big D and the price was a gobsmacking 200 dollars! Ouch! Sending so, so much love to you and to your pupperoonie.
Ah, you are missing nothing Angela! Who knows what kinds of characters are parading below your window, in costumes designed by you!! Provence will be here all too willingly, when you can. Bisous.
So do you Gina! Keep going girl!
