Off to Paris

I dream of going to Paris...
I would pack my prettiest dresses in a dreamy suitcase...
I see myself scouring Paris flea markets for the prettiest vintage goodies and stopping to smell the roses...
 Maybe I would sip coffee and wear red lipstick...
A mom can dream can't she?

  One day I will go, I just know it...for now I am content with painting old suitcases and dreaming of fabulous trips!

This week I will be sharing with

    Olivia, it is on my bucket list! I am saving all of my earnings from my antiques booth this year and plan on going early next year, Just crossing my fingers that I can make it happen.

    Hi Olivia! Oh my...your suitcases are gorgeous! I love the Marilyn tag with the burlap tie...how chic! Wait till you see my latest post - I think we were on the same brain wave with the "dreaming of Paris" theme! I've never been either but yes, a mom can dream! Have you seen Coco Before Chanel? Oooh, it was so good! I highly recommend it! The story was intriguing but the images were gorgeous and inspirational as well! Definitely a good movie to watch when you're dreaming of Paris!
    Best Wishes and Blessings my friend!
