You all know my affection for Fifi..I have both her books..Romantic Prairie Style..and her newest..the cookbook:)
Both are favorites of mine.
We have met a few times..and every time I have left feeling enriched..Her special presence is felt immediately.
She is utterly charming..and nice..and kind.
To have visited her beautiful home and enjoyed her warm unpretentious generous company,will always stay etched in my mind.
I was touched a few months back when Fifi asked me if I would like to participate in her first issue.
Honored actually.
The first edition is about to hit the stands and I cannot wait to have my copy(ies).
It will be a treasure for me for sure.
I have not been "disponible" lately..and have no idea how this new Blogger interface works..don't even know where the photos are uploaded and kept anymore..
When I am back in lovely blogland ..I will research and learn..In the interim..I wish you well..and wanted to thank Fifi for everything..in front of all of you.
You can go read more about Fifi's new baby here..
at her own blog Fabulousfifi typepad..Oy..I can't even get the link to work..forgive me.
In the interim,please know that I visit..and peek and wish you all well.I have seen the new baby:) Been to a beautiful wedding..enjoyed recipes and tablescapes and a trip to Paris..All VIRTUALLY.I've read of losses..pets etc..and am sorry for you..I have enjoyed your photos,words,art work,crafting..suggestions,tips and tricks.
Our little ones are well,charming and sprouting.I have seeds germinating..and my daughters are lovely.
Leurs familles respectives vont si bien~I hope you and yours are also~
Take care..
So until next time..
Amitiés..Monique.

Footnote April 24th~
Received my copy from the publisher~
I had tried finding it in stores..here we will be at least one week after..the USA ..if I can get it..
So I am very happy that they sent me a copy.Thank you Harris Publications,Inc,NY.
Fifi's magazine is superb..a keeper..
All my favorite magazines rolled into one.
My VERY favorite.
You will have to pick up a copy and see.It is the type of magazine you can look at over and over again..not like most of my magazines..that head across the street to my daughter and then onto my other daughter.
This one is mine:)
Jacques enjoyed it also.
It reminds me of a beautiful day we had together..
And all the other articles and photos are inspirational..and beautiful.
Fifi nouveau bébé is fabulous..like her.
Again it was an honor to be part of this issue.
Bravo , bravo Fifi.
And I have enjoyed reading your notes..I think of you all.
Take care..Enjoy Spring~

C'est un véritable bonheur que de connaître le monde de Fifi, tout comme cela l'est de te connaître également ma chère Nana...
ReplyDeleteDepuis quelques temps, quelques mois même, je suis très occupée... Je cours, je cours... Aujourd'hui encore c'est le baptême de mon petit-fils donc je suis en Bretagne!! Ensuite direction Honfleur avant de rentrer chez moi...
Je te fais de gros gros bisous et à très bientôt.
My heart jumps for joy with your every entry. I'm just sad to know you'll be gone again :( Wherever the road takes you may you continue to be blessed and be a blessing to others as you have to those of us here in bloggyland. God bless.

Missed you! I'm a bit unsure about the new interface as well. I like the extra-large photo option, but uploading the photos is definitely different.

Cara Monique - So look forward to seeing your work in the magazine! I too struggle with the new Blogger interface. At first I thought it was that I am working on a different laptop. Can't seem to keep up with the ever changing formats. Miss you in BlogLand!
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Welcome back, Monique!
ReplyDeleteI'll check out this magazine...congratulations!
I have been afraid to click on the new blogger interface...I've read about too many problems. Will wait until I'm forced to do it. :)
A big congrats to Fifi and you, Monique!! I can't wait to buy the new publication. It will be so fun to see your creative, romantic and special touch in it.
ReplyDeleteI've so missed coming and visiting you here and am glad for this update. Happy you and the family are doing well. Hope you are having a wonderful spring! xo
Congratulations on your contribution and publication! I will look for the article. Your blog was one of the first that I began following and I am impressed with each post!
ReplyDeleteI have been using the new interface for a little while (I accidentally jumped in before the switch...) There are days when I still can't find the button to get where I want to be. A learning experience, to be sure!
Looking forward to your return!
I'm so happy to see you back on your blog, Monique. I was thinking of you today and hoping that you are well. Learning new ways of doing things on the computer can be downright painful.
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying Spring in your garden....Miss you. Hugs
