I am her...at least at that place in my mind, heart and soul when I've escaped to the basement for little pieces of peace, silence and solitude. The aroma of freshly baking French Baguette wafts through the air. I imagine that I am 10 again, dashing and dancing my way through the Tuileries Gardens in Paris as it snows. I'm on my way to ice skate with friends and look forward to enjoying a warm baguette of jambon et fromage avec beurre when we've finished our patinage. We love the Louvre in the snow! My ten year old self looks forward to a chocolat chaud. But, my 58 year old self says: "Bring on the Irish Coffee!" Lots of them!
I have my sister Kat and Bath and Body Works to thank for the props that carry me to such a wonderful place. We've been in and out to holiday shop a number of times. Every time, I'd gaze at this gift bag and that little girl wishing I could be where she was. When we opened up a White Barn French Baguette scented candle, we were transported to just that quaint place in Paris! The voila came when Kat handed me the bag with the candle, oh...and my penguin sock slippers the other evening. Wishing y'all a sister like my sister Kat, and a spirit of the holiday season that lasts all year long!
