inspired: france

france cafe

french baguette

tara, over at scoutie girl, asked us to share about our European inspiration. so here goes…

it has been over a decade since i have visited france. a lot of the memories and nuances have faded, but i still recall walking the gorgeous streets of bordeaux. the buildings themselves were a piece of art with their beautiful windows and flowers spilling out of the balconies. every brick was a stoke of a paintbrush in a painting.  on every corner there was a little cafe where you could order a cafe au lait with a baguette or croissant. it was more than a cup of coffee, it was an experience… one that i will not easily forget. sigh! can i go back? somehow the simplest things were such pleasure.
