Thank you!<br />I appreciate your words so much...I feel that I am a work in process...<br />I do not lie awake at night and think French Chic...I merely try to adopt ideas and ways of living that reflect the woman that I want to become, an improved one at 55...I may never get to Paris...just like I will probably never own a Chanel or Hermes handbag...but a gal can dream...like Fiona says!hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-74152037516275110422010-08-19T12:43:43.003-07:002010-08-19T12:43:43.003-07:00I adore this post Hostess!

Of course I want to visit again one day, but in the meantime I can create my own Paris movie in my head and I am its chic star, as you are in yours. Why not elevate our life a little and enjoy the gentle silliness that French dreaming brings.Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-59646208433097046492010-08-19T03:49:24.165-07:002010-08-19T03:49:24.165-07:00I have never visited Paris.

I have surly missed something. I agree with Edith Hope. You are so sweet being just you!mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-73624678649870367052010-08-18T18:42:43.948-07:002010-08-18T18:42:43.948-07:00I always enjoy seeing a reading list from bloggers...I always enjoy seeing a reading list from bloggers I follow.

HOWEVER, Paris is crowded, often dirty, expensive and the food is not always as good as one would believe it should be. In the short time I have been following your weblog I have already reached the conclusion that you are very chic and have no need for all things french to make improvements. They are not necessary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-58569842292343788662010-08-18T10:35:32.443-07:002010-08-18T10:35:32.443-07:00I use Ina's Paris book a lot - and Laura Calde...I use Ina's Paris book a lot - and Laura Calder's French Food at Home book - lots of very simple but yummy meals.<br /><br />Ina is on the food channel on Sunday mornings at 9am.<br /><br />I am chuckling because I have a lot of the same books!Suburban Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229769705478339351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-57316171967118166882010-08-18T10:24:07.351-07:002010-08-18T10:24:07.351-07:00Oh you'll have to go to Paris.
