Fontainbleau

on sunday we decided to get

out of the city for the day.

we drove out to fontainebleau

to visit the chateau.

before we even got to the chateau,

we (ok me) got distracted by

the brocante that was being held

right in the village center.

the kids rode the carousel

twice while i shopped.

oh i wanted those HEAVY urns.

but a few of the kids would

have had to walk home.

the wooden box with the leather

handles..

that came home with me. :)

and maybe one of those

wire egg baskets.

the village streets were lined

with these fabulously decorated

street lamps.

after a delicious lunch

of croque monsieur's,

cote's de provence 

and hot dogs and frites for 

the kids..

we finally made it over to the chateau.

it was a lovely way to spend

our sunday.

i love my new egg basket..

and my wine crate..

(although i just might take

a bit of sandpaper to the 

lettering.)

dinner last night.

chicken tarragon.

i will post the recipe

on my other blog

SO GOOD!

and easy.

neighbors across the street..

paris rooftops at dusk.

a year later and i'm still

in awe.
