her suitcase was full of poppies and post cards from paris

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
- Anais Nin

If you are lucky enough to live in Paris… then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.
- Ernest Hemmingway

All I need in life is a tube of Chanel lipstick, a pair of red shoes and a cobblestone street in Paris.

    oh, thanks so much debra… there was a very nice feeling of paris in my writing room on this sunday afternoon… the colour of the sunlight, the music i was playing, my french vanilla coffee and words of hemmingway… thanks for checking out my work and leaving your words behind.

    My girl of the holly, I cannot wait to sit on that couch and sink into its blissful comfort in a few days….these shoes are sublime and I just know that your lipstick matched perfectly! And one day, we will stride down Parisian cobblestones in our kitten heels and laugh to the high heavens….one day soon. This photo makes me long for it X

  • Holly Ringland replied

    mehehehe… my girl of bells, i was thinking to myself yesterday, how am i going to sell the colour of my velour sofa to her? dusky rose? musk? rouge? but i think you’ll be won over when you do actually sink into the blissful comfort (and i’ll have the camera ready to document the occasion) in a few days. A FEW DAYS! cheshire cat i am. you know me too well, of course it matched… and will still be alive and kicking when we strut arm in arm along some magnificent parisian street – that i actually can’t contemplate too much for fear of spontaneous combustion joy. this comment of yours is the perfect way to start my week, thank you xxx

    just excellent Holly ~ the feeling is all inside the SHOES!! remember to click your heels :) xx

  • Holly Ringland replied

    linda – how perfect your comment is. when i was in grade five, i was dorothy in my school play – defining moment of my childhood that has never lost its lustre… now i just have an obsession with red shoes… red lips and blue dresses… :) but the dress had to be a parisian polka dot for this shot (i can compromise every now and then). thanks so much for your words linda, no matter what piece of work you respond to, finding your comments is always like unwrapping treasure. so i thank you very much xx
