because French Essence hasn't won best picture, best director, best screenplay, best music, best actress or even best supporting actress but she is the happiest of happy recipients for some other equally exciting awards.
For my acceptance I would like to be looking as divine as Marion Cotillard
as I thank the following people:
La Belette Rouge for the 'fabulous award'.
Anyone who follows La Bellette knows that she is a truly fabulous writer who so generously makes us feel part of her world - the highs, the lows and the everything in-between. I look forward to reading her dry wit and self deprecating humour as often as she can write it. Thank you LA Belle.
Callie Grayson and Porchlight Interiors for the 'Share the Love' award.
The gorgeous Callie from Chicago and the gals from Porchlight Interiors in Brisbane showcase some of the blog world's best eye candy. There is always something fresh and new to inspire with these girls - so a million thanks.
J... de Santa Fe for the 'Superior Scribbler Award'.
Judith's extraordinary art work is a feast for the eyes - thank you for the exquisite postings that never cease to delight me.
A Thousand Clapping Hands for the 'Excessively Diverting Blog Award'.
Catherine's way with words and beautiful photographs are some that I look forward to every day. Her blog is a gentle, elegant and relaxing place to visit. Many thank you's Catherine.
As you know I am obliged to pass on these awards and in order to do that I would like to slip into something a little more comfortable and look like an award winner should,
As great scribblers, generous people and highly entertaining and truly fabulous boggers I offer you all of the above.
Unlike Phillipe Petit from 'Man on Wire'
please don't turn them upside down and balance them on your noses but feel free to link them, give them and most of all enjoy them as you want. I apologize to the non blogsters for this awards hype and promise French business as usual will follow, xv.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your awards~ very deserving. Love the gowns this year. I would definately vote for FRENCH ESSENSE.
ReplyDeleteI just mentioned to my daughter yesterday that my favorite at the Oscars was the lovely Marion Cotillard!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the award!! I thought the Oscars fashion was pretty good this year. Sadly I don't have sky1 so I didn't get to see the ceremony proper but had the radio on overnight and drifted in and out of who won what!
ReplyDeleteI have taken the next day off before now and stayed up all night with friends in our PJs with champagne and nibbles
How lovely dear Vicki to be included in your stellar cast list! I accept these Awards with great humility & would like to take this opportunity to thank the French Essence Academy & of course my partner-in-crime MOTH. Without him & his many renovating stumbles, fumbles & disasters with power tools, my success would not have been possible!! Merci, merci!
