    Hi Vicki,

    Nothing quite like a little tulle and sparkle to kick off the weekend. I'm looking forward to catching up with you here, next week. LOVE your blog.

    So very pretty Vicki - a touch of tulle - a touch of soft pink! Must remember to buy myself a pair of white converse - they look so very comfortable!
    Take care. xx

    Love this, especially the coat or dress at the back, reminds me of something Meg Ryan would wear together with the Converse, when she was in, 'You've Got Mail'!
    Hope you have a great week-end.

    My first reaction to the photo was "Oh that is so perfect, so French!" and then I couldn't help but smile when I scrolled down to the photo credit. :) Bravo for you both--I can't wait to see more of what you are creating together.

    Bon WE!

    Perfect Vicki a little casual and a little dressy or a combination of both makes me happy.

    Wishing you the joys of Autumn

    Lovely how you've used many different textures & patterns, & it all came together perfectly. Houston has finally reached our Fall, and everyone is outside, romping & running & smiling. I can feel the holidays coming on.....

    I need to display my several pairs of Converse just like that - it's an art installation!

    ..............and what a beautiful bed - I want that one and the damask coverlet!

    Thanks for the pretty Vicki, and have a fun weekend.

    I just wrote a comment and it wouldn't post, so here I am trying again.
    I've been enjoying all your posts while I've been away from my desk. (via subscrip) Your creative teamwork with Carla is beautiful and so satisfying I'm sure. So good for the soul! On your 'blogging' posts - I think I began just after you. I now refer to those early years as 'the golden age of blogging'. There was such an energy back then, everyone seemed so invigorated and excited. I do think its fizzled somewhat, but posts such as those will reignite the old blog fires. I'm happy to join in in that regard, too. This is a wonderful platform for so many reasons that you stated.
    I adore this flowered wardrobe. It reminds me of a portantina. Have a gorgeous weekend, Vicki.
    Catherine

    Very pretty indeed, dear Vicki. As always, you've captured that French chemistry -- tulle and sparkle with Converse.

    I suppose it's as beautiful in your corner of the world as it is in ours. I love autumn.

    Yes, we should have a date -- you, Sharon and moi.

    xoxo,
    Tish

    Those Converse sneakers keep it real. I was just reading a scholarly analysis of Sophia Coppola's move Marie Antoinette and it mentioned the pink Converse sneakers in one of the scenes. I now have to watch the movie one more time so I can find that scene.
