  5. Monique I always love seeing a photo of your favorite things. You make all your things look so lovely. Seeing your flower frogs I must find mine for Christmas floral decorating( I've only just learnt that's what you call them.) I know them as 'floral pin holder.'

  7. What a pretty collection of lovelies Monique, especially the Parisian towel. I have a special bone china coffee cup with a dolphin on it that I adore. It's funny how much the little things can make one's life richer.

  23. Humm ! Que de bonnes et belles choses !
    J'aime particulièrement la confiture d'orange... Avant de partir chez ma fille j'en ai fait de nombreux pots... Et quel régal !
    Je te remercie pour ton gentil mot.

    Je ne suis pas très présente en ce moment, je reviendrai te visiter plus régulièrement dès mon retour à la maison, dans une dizaine de jours.

    Gros bisous à toi ma chère Nana.

  25. Nielsen Massey Vanilla Bean Paste is also one of my favorite things, and (surprise) I have a collection of flower frogs. But, I'll need to 'borrow' everything else in your wonderful collage.

  27. I lead a very quiet life:)
    I think I do these because I like making collages ..and give the spotlight to little incidentals..bunched up..they seem a bit more interesting..for a post.
    I love taking pictures..of anything.
    So thi little fun thing encourages me to see a bottle of vanilla differently:)
    The taste of course is sublime.
    Have a great Sunday.
