Hi Everyone
Happy Wednesday

Happy to be back from a
world wind trip to Texas 
What fun !!
Texas is filled with wonderful people and fabulous treasures

First stop is hugs and kisses from wonderful Husband and Son
then to the garden to see the roses 
and unpack 



A few wonderful finds to show you
these vintage cake stands
I could not resist 
and a new obsession vintage
~Cake Covers~
 Its confession time...
This may shock a few of you but
I do not own any Tupperware Not one piece of plastic to save food in
I save all leftovers in glass containers
I learned this while vacationing in France for a month.
We have friends who own a home in Semur en Auxois and we lived there for a month
It was wonderful

Here is a picture of the house
Semur en Auxois is about 3 hours outside of Paris
We were immersed in a culture that began each morning with
freshly baked croissants from the bakery in town near the local castle
Learned to traverse the roads which are narrow and mostly unpaved
Tasted the most amazing wine in Burgundy and the best mustard in Dijon
In France you buy most food products in glass containers
Milk, mustard, yogurt, jam,even lemonade almost everything is in the cutest glass bottles and jars

Here is my favorite little mustard jar
we use these for orange juice glasses now
its wonderful to eat the delicious mustard and then enjoy the jar for years after


We Learned to enjoy the taste of fresh food picked the morning of the meal
and enjoyed no television or
radio, no cell phone coverage
evenings were filled with card games and family story telling and reading books
Our children learned to speak a little French and by the end of the trip were making friends
  even swimming in the aqueduct with all of the town children


We learned to save food in recycled glass 
and now I try to buy food here in the States that
come in glass too
So no Tupperware for me
That is why I am so happy to have
found these cake covers


a great way to transport a cake, keep it fresh and its cute too
of coarse I am in
{Love}
with the vintage white enamelware
cake cover

More about A Month in France to come
 the amazing brocantes,
the wonderful treasures

romantic saying for today
"Love lets us see the ordinary in an extraordinary way"
