Fabulous quotes Simone ~ loving all the flowers especially that last bouquet and save me a seat at that table please. Have a fantabulous week-end girlie. xo
ReplyDeleteLoved the quotes. And what a great gig for SJP. How impressive is that? Love that people are starting to talk about Spring...could it be that it's just around the corner??:)
ReplyDeleteDeep sigh, Simone...your Friday posts always seem to centre me for the weekend ahead and make me forget about the worries of the past week....no matter how weird it has been. If I could send you those flowers in the birdsnest, I would my friend.
ReplyDeleteYou're like an exquisite magpie or bowerbird, collecting only the most eyecatching, soul-affirming and mood-lifting treasures to decorate your blog and our lives. I love that about you. I'm sure it's just a reflection of your generosity of spirit. Oh to be able to sit at that table under the fairy lights with you and our other mutual blogging pals!
I hope the weekend ahead with your lovely ones is filled with lots of happy moments. Meredy xo.
Love the inspirational quotes! Stunning eye candy as usual..~lulu
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always! I just love all your pictures! They always evoke so many beautiful wonderful emotions!
ReplyDeleteSimone,
ReplyDeleteI'm going to shut the computer down now after seeing such beautiful splendor! Hoping to drift off to sleep with the vision of those sweet couples in love with the bon voyage kisses!
Happy weekend to you~

ReplyDeleteWow - its getting to the point where I am waiting for Friday Fabulousness each week. The responsibility you have to inject some loveliness into our days! Looking forward to your handbag post - I am envisaging something Italian, elegant, understated? Or pared down, slouchy, completely at ease? x
ReplyDeleteWishing you a fab Friday too. Love all the pictures. A little glamour on a Friday morning whilst I am planning my day is a great uplift.

Hello Simone - I found your delightful blog via Pamela at The House of Edward. Enjoying scrolling though so much loveliness AND, guess what, I know Muswell Hill very well as my brother and his family lived on Cecil Road for many years before moving to the South of France. I stayed in Muswell Hill annually. My niece and her cousins attended St. James school. We bought cheese at that fabulous tiny cheese shop, had lunch at the Crocodile and several suppers at Charlie's Pizza. Just bet you know those places. I miss my family being in London - now when going home to Devon (Torquay) I really have no reason to go to the city. It's a wonderful experience to be raising your children there - still one of the best cities in the world.
ReplyDeletePlease stop by if you have a minute - would love to hear from you.

I love the happiness saying!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your weekend Simone :)

Love this..and Tom Ford is one of the hottest men on earth.
ReplyDeleteack! sjp's coat is *fabulous*!!
ReplyDeleteSimone I hope your weekend with your family was a great one? I loved the quote & something very similar rang true to me. In fact has been much on my mind. The line about loving those who treat you right & forget others, finally has set in after all these years.I love this post.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jenny - Tom Ford is divine.

Oooh Colin Firth, yum!!! and the romantic train photo I love too. Simone I love that you always have the inspirational (and wise) little quotes. Happy week to you. xx
ReplyDeleteBonjour Simone,
ReplyDeleteOh I really, really love that sweet train scene with all those romantic couples, and the maison with those periwinkle shutters is just what I'm looking for. 40 days and counting till your Paris trip!
Just wondering if you received my email, I wanted to touch base with you. Just if you have a chance my friend.
Here's to a fabulous week!
Simone!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know I have already commented... but you deserve another comment... the new layout is Beautiful!!!
