    I can hear that song as I write. What a precious picture of the dog and the dolls. Looks like he's found some girlfriends. Must have been love at first sight.

    EVERYTHING IS SO BEAUTIFUL! I have missed visiting and what a delight I find upon my return.
    Your taste is the best, be in the kitchen, garden or behind the camera.
    Happy Summer!

    This is such a nostalgic collage. I love tea forte too, and I also wish I had more childhood photos.

    I love those teas too! I think you the first person I knew who drank them.

    Love the photo of the dog with the dolls! He reminds me of our late friend, Kootney :)

    Your favorite things are very special and they all they spell softness, tenderness and love. It must not have been easy to give your dolls away; I collect teddy bears and I have a hard time sharing...they are all full of history.

    I have that tube of hand cream on my bureau and use it every day. You are right it is heavenly.
    Bonne semaine Monique.
