I don't know about you, but I need a little virtual vacation! Sooo...today I am taking you to Provence...to be more exact, to the Lubéron...Peter Mayle country! I am revisiting the mas or farmhouse in Provence where I spent a week during my retirement trip to France. And since it's Monday, I'm doing it in the form of two mosaics and joining the crowd at Mary's Little Red House! Could it be any more perfect? I love the faded blue shutters, the oh so frenchy fountain in the courtyard, and the winding stairs by the twisted old fig tree! Now, all I need is...
...cats! lol Ahhhh! One of these days I'm going back...not soon enough! Sigh!!I hope you enjoyed my little mini vacation. Please be sure to visit Mary's beautiful blog to see some more wonderful examples of mosaics. Thanks so much for coming to Provence with me! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm just going to sit here in the courtyard with my glass of wine... Would you like to join me?
Cuckoo, Debbie! Je suis la première! Que j'adore tes photos! Je voudrais quelques copies pour les encadrer - je suis sérieuse! Elles sont magnifiques! à la prochaine..Linda
ReplyDeleteDebbie, that place is just gorgeous. I love the relaxing look of it and it's so pretty. The fountain is gorgeous and the blue shutters are so beautiful. The winding staircase around the tree is so unique and just makes you have to climb them. The kitty is absolutely precious. I am really jealous that he gets to live there. Loved the vacation, but I really would like to stay a while longer. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie! This is so beautiful! I want to go back to France! I'll just go through your eyes! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
beautiful photos... makes me want to take a vacation too!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteI'm recommending you stop in at Across the Pond, if you haven't already. Mary is from England, has lived in US for over 40 years. Her brother has a house in France. Oh my!! She visits there and just returned from a visit to England. I think you might like her beautiful blog. Across the pond is listed on my sidebar.
It's so serene & pretty. Great mosaics Debbie & I LOVE the cats! ☺♥☺ Diane

ReplyDeleteDebbie, this is just the most beautiful spot. I love that staircase and of course, no home away from home would be complete without a cat. Thanks for the bit of relaxation before starting up the week! Hugs, Kat
ReplyDeleteGotta love it. My dear friend lives in a quaint little town and her cottage house is on a cobblestone road.

What a wonderful place for you to visit! I love the fig tree, and those shutters are wonderful! I hope to have some built, along the same line. Now, I know I will love them. Oh, Thank you for the glass a wine, I really needed the wine and the vacation!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, your photos brought back a flood of beautiful memories of our stay at Le Mas des Oliviers in Théoule sur Mer on the Cote d'Azur. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTake me away...I would love to go there!
ReplyDeleteThat was a nice little mental break! Thanks. Love the blue.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie...I always love the visits you grace me with! Thank you for your kind comments!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all...your music...LOVE IT!
I still don't have any...I should I know...someday perhaps. I LOVE music but haven't figured out how to do it..or can I choose tunes.
Yours are so relaxing..and soft! French...I love them..and their music...and their culture...
Thank you for the little pause in life and a lovely break from my everyday world!
Love and hugs~

Thanks for the vacation, and I didn't even get air sick!
ReplyDeleteLovely mosaic...
Don't forget the White party tomorrow!
Debbie, love all the pictures! France so need to send you a big fat check for endorsing all that is beautiful about their culture and architecture! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh Yes! I'd love to join you! Maybe you should really do that Debbie - get a group of bloggers together to take a trip to France! I'll start saving my dimes so I'll be able to go! I'd love to go with someone like you, who obviously knows all of the best places to stay, eat, and visit! Lovely mosaics. laurie
