I do love <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/104-4486386-0330354?url=search-alias%3Dmagazines&amp;field-keywords=marie+claire+idees&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">Marie Claire Idees</a>!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_B4cqIWkgkGw/R8LSkWNnTbI/AAAAAAAAAog/idJicwTcdGk/s1600-h/MC+candlabra.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_B4cqIWkgkGw/R8LSkWNnTbI/AAAAAAAAAog/idJicwTcdGk/s400/MC+candlabra.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170926844054556082" border="0" /></a>It's very french and very girlie...which is not how I would ever describe myself, but the projects and photography are so inspiring. It's just a favorite of mine. Check out this candelabra. Tea cups and plants and fruit...oh my! On another page is a floor lamp made entirely of tea pots and tea cups stacked one on top of the other...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_B4cqIWkgkGw/R8LSkmNnTcI/AAAAAAAAAoo/ew4_aJP0QgI/s1600-h/MC+dishcloth.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_B4cqIWkgkGw/R8LSkmNnTcI/AAAAAAAAAoo/ew4_aJP0QgI/s400/MC+dishcloth.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170926848349523394" border="0" /></a>And Hey, <a href="http://rosylittlethings.typepad.com/posie_gets_cozy/2008/02/pleasant-kitche.html">Alicia</a>, look at these fab-oo kitchenware dishtowels. Do you have a french twin? :) If the rest of you haven't checked out the Posie's free <a href="http://rosylittlethings.typepad.com/posie_gets_cozy/2008/02/pleasant-kitche.html">Pleasant Kitchen Dishtowel </a>patterns, walk..don't run! (oh wait...I thought I was yelling at the boys. I meant RUN don't walk...heh)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_B4cqIWkgkGw/R8LSk2NnTdI/AAAAAAAAAow/BDNrNQVvsrc/s1600-h/MC+plates.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_B4cqIWkgkGw/R8LSk2NnTdI/AAAAAAAAAow/BDNrNQVvsrc/s400/MC+plates.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170926852644490706" border="0" /></a>Hanging beautiful china patterns on the wall is one thing, but these are made of fabric! Sweet! Somehow this whole issue reminds me of a french flea market. I went to one in Paris about 10 years ago for "work". I just searched it and it's still <a href="http://www.parisperfect.com/paris-flea-markets/text/paris-flea-markets.html">there</a>! I'd sure love to go back...<br /><br />Hope this provided a little perk for your Monday morning. One of my <a href="http://blog.betzwhite.com/2008/02/rituals.html">cocoa drinkers</a> was sick all weekend with a fever. Back at school today but I feel as though the phone could ring any minute beckoning me to retrieve him.<br /><br />In other news, more stuff in the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=42819">shop</a> today. I had best intentions to provide some new items and some old favorites, but I have been derailed once again! Oh well...I'll get there eventually.<br /><br />au revoir!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">(update here...I purchased a subscription to the magazine through Amazon...see 2nd link above)</span>Betz Whitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07462296992185760050noreply@blogger.com
