need...

i have an itch that i needed to scratch..
yes indeed....a need
so i knit a tea cosy and crocheted a few more of my milleflore ..
and all the while thinking of marie-antoinette and her petit trianon ..
gee i must come down to earth ..
tea cosy aka a tad marie-antionettish..me thinks

home...

well hello to one and all...

i am home ...i can now officially say that out loud...home..

i am totally and utterly content to be back in australia..home...

i did have a wonderful ,wonderful time but something unexpected happened while i was in france

all my senses became acute and i knew ...for the first time in 14 years ..why we made the move to australia....everything became so clear and reinforced...

i had come home and i now know i am an australian...both officially and in my phyche....

so on with the adventure..

we had the most lovely apartement above a bakery and every morning buttery waves would waft up and the smell was ...well lets just say you HAD to have a croissant...immediately ...

as you can just makee out in the photo you can see how close the eiffel tower was to us and on a night time we were privvy to a glittering light show...
the first four days were business and to say that was interesting is an understatement..

so we have some beautiful things coming into calicoandivy soon...

let us just say ...i do know what it takes to choose a ribbon!!...and how long!!

so if you can bear with me and my twittering on i shall give you all a run down how my french trip unfolded
until next time ..

gee missing the croissant already...
