Yes, you have definitely discovered Parisian heaven on earth! That was LITERALLY our room with a view in Paris! At the Lancaster Hotel! I will never forget it! And now my precious parents are there! They are actually in Provence and traveling to Paris in a day or two! I'm envious but happy for them! Much love to you!

I'd love to join you, Karena! Your ensembles are perfect for the trip. Nothing like Paris flea markets...I'm so with you on that. And we MUST have flowers! And macarons!
Musee d'Orsay is my very favorite.
Such fun traveling with you.....
So nice to be traveling to Paris with you and all the other lovely blogs. My favorite picture on here was the flower shop. I adore flowers and can imagine going into a little flower shop in Paris and looking all around. Wouldn't that be nice? I am off to visit a few more lovelies, and wanted to make sure that I stopped by your sweet blog.

Your room with a view reminded me of our room last year. I couldn't get over the gorgeous windows and window dressings! What a fabulous idea for breakfast too - I am going to make mine soon - Definitely a wonderful time in Paris. I love that you are bringing back gifts for friends, Karena, you are sooooo thoughtful!

Bonjour Karena
Awwww Parie. I was there once over 25 yrs. ago. Too young to enjoy it's beauty then. Wrong month too.
Now at 56, I will go back with a different heart.
Everyone's images are stunning.
I know you and Anita would be walking hand in hand down one of those streets together having a macaron and a café.
Lovely.
xoxoxo
Great images, Karena! It has me reminiscing of where hubby and I got engaged. :)
Karena, Beautiful. You captured Paris perfectly!! The Eiffel Tower fabric does come in different colours. Red, Black, Aqua..just to name afew. :-)
Bonjour Karena,
Can I come too? I'll show you my favorite antiques shops. And, I can negotiate prices in French! Merci mon amie!!

oh boy, count me in! all of this sounds wonderful. and that evening dress- - so chic!! happy 4th of july Karena!
I've only been to Paris once, and it was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been! I only saw about half of what I wanted to see, but I always think it is good to leave a few things for the next trip!
- Holly
You captured Paris beautifully. I have visited many times but never tire of this wonderful city and the Musée d'Orsay is amazing. You certainly had a room with a view.
