A Little Ooh La La






palomasea












It's getting closer ...



 via















Can you sense it?


 via















The sun feels a little warmer...


 via
 













Birdsong becomes more symphonic....


 via














For many of us, Spring is right around the corner....


 via










via














One can't help feeling 
a little lighter,
a little happier,
perhaps even a little flirtier?

via













Budding branches....



 via














Bursting Spring blossoms...

Thoughts of April in PARIS!


 via












Whether Springtime in Paris is a reality or not, adding a little more 
"Ooh La La" to our lives can be a great way to begin the season of renewal, non?

  1. BONJOUR LES PETITS LAPINS! Oh, how bunnies are so French, at least on the dinner table! YIKES! But Paris is a dream anytime of the year, but most of all now, as spring is stepping forward, every day.

    That pink sheer skirt...Oh là! J'ai envie d'en porter une telle jupe! Et danser!

    Well my dear, we shall have to celebrate the joie de vivre en printemps, maintenant, dans la même ville. Quand et OÙ? Je suis prête!

    BISOUS! Anita

    Oh....je vais aller chez cette femme et me présenter! Anita

    Thank you for your lovely visits and sweet words...I have been away at a Carerfest and have so much to catch up on...it's amazing what days without the internet can do in the way of putting one behind with everybody!

    Wishing you a beautiful Sunday dear Irina....Much Love from an Autumnal Beach....Dzintra xo

  8. Ciao, scusami se ti scrivo in italiano, ma ho alcune difficoltà con l'inglese, e spesso mi sono fermata nello scriverti per questo, perchè, ultimamente mi sembra sempre di non avere tempo...e sono sempre di corsa (nonostante dovrei trovarlo il tempo)! :)
    E' bellissimo e delicato questo post sulla primavera...è vero, comincia a farsi sentire :))!
    Grazie per tutti i messaggi bellissimi che lasci sul mio blog, mi fanno molto piacere oltre ad essere di incoraggiamento :))
    Un caro saluto e un abbraccio pieno di affetto :)
    a presto, virginia

  12. Dearest Irina,
    It can't come soon enough now. I am a tad sick of endless grey days. You have brought the sunshine with this post. Thank you my dear. We are off to France for a week in May, the Champagne region, with no doubt, a little trip to Paris :-)
    Much love.

  14. As I was driving this
    morning, I had the
    thought that 25 degrees
    in March feels MUCH
    different than 25 degrees
    in December! The sun
    is closer to the earth,
    and all feels warmer
    and certainly more bathed
    in light.

    Here's to spring, sweet
    friend!
