What's Happening Here These Days...

First of all ~ Thank You AND Merci ~ for all
~of your well wishes the last couple of weeks~

Second, it's beginning to actually look like Fall
...Well, Fall in California that is~

The walk really needs to be swept, but there's
a weather warning for winds tomorrow, so I'm putting it off ;)

I found this magazine at our local grocery store
(not the gourmet one)
I usually go to the gourmet one (pretty, pretty!)
and send my hubby to the regular grocery store

Anyway, this is a brand new magazine to me
and there's an article on Leslie Caron's
17th Century Inn located in Burgundy
(can hardly wait to read it!)

Here's a close up with a little Halloween cat
my husband brought home for me last Friday...
I love Halloween decorating and the older
looking decorations, I'm bringing out my collection
this weekend... Looking forward to taking out
items I've forgotten are hidden in the attic
...The attic that's scary in itself!

I'm still enjoying reading the Magnolia Pearl book,
she has such a wonderful philosophy,
decorate the way you want to...
What pleases YOU!

After reading the book and viewing the beautiful photos,
I wanted to show some close-ups of my purse

It is plush and I would so love a couch this cozy
I had a purse on my wish list for four years...

I really think of it as a piece of art.
The way she puts things together is just beautiful!

And when I talked to her on the phone, she was
the sweetest thing that could be...
She just seems like the neighbor down the street
(we even talked about Zeke!)

This is the detail of one of the inside pockets ;)

Speaking of Zeke ~
He's making a fashion statement of his own...
~And taking a brief time off of his own after
being nurse for nearly two weeks...
He is indeed a working dog ;)

Now just have to get him to the beach soon!

Ooh, all this talk of Magnolia Pearl and Zeke...
I haven't visited Polly's blog yet today
to see the post about Marburger...
Gotta go soon!!

Ooh, Tivo alert - Le Ballon Rouge (The Red Balloon)
~ TCM ~
Thursday 1:15 p.m PST

This is the very first French Movie
I saw as a child. It's a true work of art in film~

If you get a chance, you should check it out
...you won't be sorry you did, it's a classic
~ C'est un classique! ~

Zeke and I are off to work triple time
Making up for time lost during the past couple weeks
and will have a couple surprises in store for you
very soon... Better get back to work

So, have you seen Le Ballon Rouge?

Au Revoir for the Moment!
