Making me happy......blog links this week

Paris Boutique Hotel ~ Parasol Bar Wynn Hotel Las Vegas

One of the advantages of following wonderful blogs is that you get a steady stream of gorgeousness at any given time and this week was no exception. You blogger gals have been working the blogs the past few weeks and I noticed! I thought it the perfect time to share these gorgeous, fabulous, and sophisticated photos from a number of blogs I follow on a daily basis. If you don't know them, get over there and take a look and introduce yourself. A talented group of ladies. I hope to make this a monthly post so if you weren't mentioned, you will be. For many of us, it is cold and gray, so the burst of colour seen in these photos is meant to perk you up and brighten your day. Enjoy your weekend and go visit these blogs.

    Good morning, dearest Sande,

    You are right these bright images are much needed for this gloomy, cloudy day here in Texas! I love those parasols, the window treatments, and those Fauchon boxes! Bold and beautiful. And Mimi's necklace is so pretty and sweet. Thank you for including my image with these lovely images. You know, you are the reason that I am so interested with beautiful gift wrapping!
    Have a great day,
    Mandy

    I would have never thought of parasol chandelier shades. But now I feel like I need to figure out something similar.
