right up the street
from my flat
is the diptyque store.
dangerous.
this is my latest..
freesia.
my sister in law
bought it for me when she
was here visiting.
it's the perfect
hostess gift.
maybe along with
a box of macaroons.
speaking of hostess gifts..
stephen is flying to vienna
tomorrow with his baseball
team to play against
many different countries.
he'll be gone for 3 nights.

a gift for his host family.

Hannah is adorable Pam and you are so right..a trooper! Griff is so sweet and..all boy! I hope Hannah is recovering well. Your travels sound like mine..books and movies. I like your selection and am always up for a book by Doris Kearns Goodwin..she is a quintessential American storyteller in my books. I recently finished Serena by Ron Rash..and really enjoyed it. I left a message for you on my post...thx so much for your comment.. xx
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear Hannah will be coming home soon!
ReplyDeleteI have many book suggestions to send you.......
Wonderful news regarding Hannah.Love the shot of her with the service dog.
ReplyDeleteI just finished The American Heiress.....a good read about a Newport socialite going to England in the late 19th century ....her Mother's idea....to find a man with a title to marry.
So happy to know Hannah will be home soon...I always love your book suggestions...I'm reading The Great Gatsby right now!! I need to finish watching Cheerful Weather for the Wedding..I started it. Ok..and I spy the Louis V everfull..you did NOT??? You did??? I'm sooo jealous!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove visiting your blog. So glad that Hannah is doing better. I agree there is nothing better than a dyptique candle as a gift. You have reminded me that I have not treated myself to one recently and I must get on that. I may give Fresia a try - what is your favourite scent? I have had Baie and Cannelle and loved both. We share many of the same perfumes - i bought myself coco mademoiselle on my whirlwind one day trip to Paris. We quickly went into Gallery Lafayette and since I had some birthday money I made a quick decision (did not want to waste the day shopping) to purchase it. Now when I put it on and smell coco mademoiselle I think of Paris. Griff dressed like a little french boy is adorable.
ReplyDeleteDiptyque is my weakness and temptation too... I adore the candles! xv
ReplyDeleteThe best exotic marigold hotel is a sweet enjoyable movie... always love your book recommendations. Good luck to Hannah
ReplyDeleteHow in the world have I missed all of your recents posts?! Just now catching up.... I'm so glad that Hannah's better. She's so beautiful, Pam. And such a sweet and loving girl. And Griffy's petit garçon francais look is adorable!
