PRINTEMPS ~~ SPRINGTIME IN PARIS

LE MOIS DE LES FLEURS

2011 PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL FLOWER SHOW~SPRINGTIME IN PARIS 

The magnificent entrance to the 2011 Philadelphia International Flower Show.

Valley Forge Flowers did all of the magical topiary carousel animals.

Attending the Preview Party helps PHS feed more than 1,000 families a week through the City Harvest Program!!

Some of the miniatures are so amazing that you do not realize that they really are miniatures in a photograph.

Attending the Preview Party also helps support Plant One Million, the nation's first multi-state mass scale tree planting in the Greater Philadelphia Region to restore the tree canopy.

The pressed flowers are also amazing every year.

One of the themes for the year was Fleur de Lis and done by Eighth and Ninth Grade students.

And the perfect pochette for the Flower Show entitled Summer Dance by Constance Muller!  I found this wonderful evening bag at http://www.boutiquerochambeau.com/. 

I am also very happy to say that I was the Very Lucky Winner this month of Suzanne MacCrone's {Italian Girl in Georgia} beautiful and artful photograph entitled "Paris Rose"!  What appropriate timing and Thank You So Much Bella Suzanne!  Please check out her wonderful blog and Etsy shop.

From Maleka in Suburban Square, Ardmore, this is the most unbelievably deliciously scented velvet rose sachet by Irene Hirose.

And a precious Daisy.

Bonsoir and Fais de Beau Reves!  {Sweet Dreams!}
