a little French-Ness + GIVEAWAY


Castles Crowns and Cottages

as Anita's blog party 'FRANCE-SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE' is drawing to a close on Friday,
& I've already done a different French post every day which I've enjoyed immensely...
I could not resist sharing with you this post from one of our best friends in blogland,
Tereza & Rita of CasaTresChic from Brazil...
a post about a lovely home in France
as seen below.






I only had to look at the top photo on their blog post to know this home was in France,
and when you see the rest of the interior & exterior shots you will see the essence
of French-Ness at home.

Tereza leaves the lovliest comments for me, and we have become friends,
so I encourage you to hop over to visit them  HERE
to be inspired by the photos of this wonderful home.

Anita & all the other participants of the
FRANCE-SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE
party may be found HERE

    BONJOUR MARSHA!

    Your music, the photos, the subject of your wonderful post all make me feel as if I truly am on the Riviera. I want to thank you (vous remercier!) for making this party so elegant Marsha. Don't you just love the way a French home makes you feel?

    And I want to thank you for wandering over to NOWHERE as well! Ha....that is a sweet place that has been abandoned over the last two years, but about four of us contributed to that blog with our art for memorable laughs; it has been extremely fun. Thank you for going NOWHERE with me in my garden where I made a cut out of one of my characters. My husband and his friend helped me hold up the sheet (you should have seen these two guys from the Bronx out there, playing with me!!!!)

    Have a splendid day my dear. Anita

    That home is stunning and wouldn't it be wonderful to live in France in such a home. This week of French posts have been so much fun to see and read makes me want to jump on a plane. I'm off to see your friends blog.

    I t was great fun looking back on your posts. The Place de Voges is one of my favorites too... something about the brickwork in the arches... even the scent of the place is magic. Thanks to Anita for the introduction... great giveaway too!

Please know how much I value your comments. I read every single one and do hope you will take the time to leave your thoughts. I think InstaGram with the Emojis have taken a lot away from blogging, but I love IG too.
