Left Bank Style......more pink

I know you are probably pinked out on these blog posts too but hey.........it's a pink world over here no matter how I look at it. I promise to switch over to some other colours next week so be patient if you think I have a one track mind. When it came time to gift wrap the final Charlotte Moss giveaway gift for fellow blogger Terri ( I simply adore that girl) at La Dolfino I thought it would be stylishly suitable to use a gift wrap that shows the Left Bank streets in Paris. Yes, this is the gift wrap that everyone frames as a poster. In fact, I think I might just do one up for that Chic Room of mine. I rarely use wired ribbon in a shipped gift as it tends to flatten out in transit but couldn't resist on this one as it just jumped into my hand. I love wired ribbon but only if I can fuss with it before handing it over, give it one last fluff as it tends to have a mind of it's own even just sitting there. Hopefully Terri will enjoy her Charlotte Moss ~ Left Bank Votive Set this weekend as UPS tells me it should show up in California today. Enjoy the fragrance Terri.

Suitcase Tissue
Something about tissue paper I forgot to mention the other day. A nice side benefit to having a ream of tissue is that you have plenty on hand to use for suitcase packing. I use it between layers to keep everything folded nice and reduce wrinkling. Especially good for shirts, linen and lingerie. I know how retro this sounds but it does work and is a much better packing choice than dry cleaner plastic with it's chemical risk. Call me crazy but a tissue wrapped and layer lined suitcase is a organized and wrinkle-free sight to behold. Even the custom inspector will be impressed.

A gorgeous bit of Pink Paris from Broomhill Pictures on Etsy. Both images are available for framing and run $15-20.00. Shipping from Canada.

A deliciously sweet welcome to new readers and followers.
