I was so excited to go to Round Top and as expected, was overwhelmed by the magnitude of the selection of antiques and embellishments! My head was spinning with the possibilities! Wish I had a bigger house and more craft space...
Round Top: table after table
of endless embellishments...

Round Top--Longing to buy these French chairs...

These are a couple of French recipes I framed and have in my kitchen. One is in my grandmother's (memere's) handwriting and the other is in my mother's handwriting. I had the recipes translated so they can be passed down to my daughters.

I made these pillows from needlework done by my French cousin, Bernadette.

I found these great old French postcards at our local Antique Mall this past weekend. I also found a beautiful pink glass eiffel tower for my daughter's vanity. Score!

After dinner, we went to this little French cafe for pastries...yum...
My daughter, Nathalie (the French spelling--"H" is silent), took us to this great French restaurant when we went to visit her in New York this past weekend. That's her with my other daughter, Noelle. The restaurant was so quaint and the food was wonderful!
