Picture me doing cartwheels when I reached 10 - and then just imagine what I'm doing now!!!
I literally have to wipe this silly smile off my face as I'm typing this -
And another close friend I've made through this blogging journey is Caroline from Piorra Maison - situated here in Montreal - but she could be in a Southern State with all of her old world charm - it's like visiting a
mini museum when you walk into her haven ( can't call it a store - it's so much more than that - ) it's truly like
entering an oasis. Caroline and her niece Melanie make you feel at home from the moment you walk in.
I'm going to let the photos speak for themselves here ladies ( because even with my horrible photo skills her " candy " store still sparkles and shines ) Her Christmas ornament are exquisite - this is definitely the "go to" place for original charming tree decorating
snow globes - and hot air balloons and owls and birds and much much more |
cute little owl xmas ornaments |
sparkle heaven |
a giant owl for the tree - chippy table perfection ( that color is the original paint ! ) are your eyes darting all over this photo? |
reminiscent of old fashioned decorations - love the diamond pattern! |
and more sparkles! |
up, up and away in my beautiful my beautiful ballon THESE ARE STUNNING IN PERSON |
fly little white dove fly way up high across the universal sky |
jingle "BELLES" !!! |
berry pretty - isn't that chippy mantel gorgeous? |
old world charm - clock faces and " la tour Eiffel " key chains - what beautiful stocking stuffers |

Oh. My. Goodness. Beauty overload! What an amazing place, and those ornaments are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh I am swooning and that's not an easy thing to do this early in the morning!! I'm already a faithful follower and now a hopeful one!! Way to go on 600 girl! I'm almost halfway there.
ReplyDeleteIf I ever make it to Montreal, I will definitely be visiting this store! Lovely giveaway, and I am a follower.
ReplyDeleteI already found Caroline and her blog myself online over a year ago... her stuff is great, like stepping back in time.
ReplyDeleteSuzyq- Wow! What a lot of eye candy. Unbelievable things! Just love it all. Now I have to go find her blog. Congrats on 600 followers. It's all that talking to yourself you do....!;>) Love ya, girl- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI'd love to visit and see all the goodies in person! But, too far, so sad.♥♫
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful place...please enter me in your contest...would love to win!
ReplyDeleteHuh, I can't believe I wasn't following you! Well, not officially that is. I haven't been to Piorra in forever. At worse I can always go buy the ornaments. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou KNOW I follow you like a faithful dog! Such an incredibly gorgeous shop. I am very jealous. Nothing fabulous like that around here. Thankfully, I am headed to the Tidewater area of Virginia for Thanksgiving and will hit every pretty bauble shop I can find. Thanks for the fabulous giveaway. Now...choose me! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to shop and browse! Your friend has some amazing and beautiful stuff!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 600 followers! That is wonderful! And the giveaway is really nice! :)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks, Suzan, now I've got that stupid ♫'follow him wherever he may go'♫ song stuck in my head! lol Thanks to Caroline for the great giveaway- and to you of course. And CONGRATULATIONS on the 600! You know I'm a follower. By the way, I see that Caroline's place is one more reason to visit Montreal. I love the clocks and keys. sigh.
ReplyDeleteI DOOOOOO follow you!!! Beautiful orni's. i love the white birds! Thanks for this chance to win!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful!!! I would love to win this:) Oh yes, I am and will follow you where ever you go. Thanks for sharing this awesome giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThis is the ultimate store. Serio. I believe if I walked into the place my knees would buckle and I'd fall into a heap, becoming an obstacle for the rest of the customers. "Overstimulation!"
ReplyDeleteI have "followed" blogs by putting them in my favorites list and checking them regularly. Now I am added here as a formal follower. Similar to making myself a non-no-reply-blogger after I read the instructions you yelled in the top right corner. You will have me doing everything properly yet.
I'd go crazy in that store!!! I collect vintage looking ornaments--these are so cool! And I also love those plates!! I'm already following you but oh man I'd sure love to win that awesome giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. But I am already a follower!!
ReplyDeleteShe really does have some cute stuff. As a non owl fan, she might just have the only owls that I actually like, those are very nice.
ReplyDeleteBliss
This is a great prize! Of course, you already know I'm a faithful follower. Congrats on hitting 600 fans! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteFirst of all - congrats on hitting 600!! I'm working on 250 on both my blog and my FB page, so I know you must be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteSecondly - this store looks gorgeous. And I know the kind of heaven you talk about - my friend, Michelle at Diamonds & Toads has the same kind of beautiful store. Must be the Annie Sloan stockist gene.
Love your blog! Lots of inspiration and humor.

ReplyDeletePeggy @ The Painted Pear
I've been so busy I missed this post! Thank you for showing us Caroline's shop, I order my paint from her and her service is prompt and courteous. I would love to visit her store in person. I wish I lived closer, you and I could go shopping there, arm in arm, and buy our paint and then go for tea. There is beautiful stuff in that there store, love everything. Those little owls are so cute and I love the Paris keychains. They didn't even have nice stuff like that in Paris, lol! It's a great ladies' shopping destination! Sigh, maybe someday!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on your 600 followers. (I'm nearing 60, lol! Maybe next year...)
Dear Suzan, Thanks for coming by for a Blog Visit and enlightening me about the No Reply Blogger Status. I'm still fairly new to this Blogging thing and Tech Challenged so I'm having my G-Kids mentor me about how to use cyberspace more effectively! *LOL* Yes, it's True, I had a 9 year old set up my Blog initially and be his Apprentice! I'm still slowly learning and enhancing my Space here in this Wonderful Community... one day I might even look like I know what I'm doing?! *Winks*
ReplyDeleteDawn... The Bohemian
Okay... using your Handy "No Reply Blogger Fix" I think I may have actually fixed this!? *LOL*
