**warning: the following post contains a shameful overuse of such superlatives as "beautiful", "gorgeous", "stunning" and "lovely". I apologise in advance, but it was truly unavoidable.
This week something very special arrived in the mail. Something that was wrapped up in an envelope almost as beautiful as the gift that lay inside. (I was doing some silent inner squeeling as I opened this!)
I was the lucky recipient of one of Georgianna Lane’s georgeous calendars. She has several new ones ready for 2012 and this one is brimming with 12 stunning photographs that she took this summer in Monet’s Garden near Paris, France.
Oh my goodness, I just love these colours! It’s full of soft pinks and turquoises and roses and poppies and windows with shutters and lace.
These lovely images will be with me throughout 2012 to remind me of summer, and romantic French gardens and beautiful dreams.
And if that wasn’t enough she even included a photograph of a stunning Parisian door…an amazing blue door. Have I ever mentioned how much I love doors? There's so much to wonder about them...what possibilities lie on the other side...what opportunities do they open to? How many people have walked through them and what are their stories?
And the sweetest part of all was the little package of Parisian goodies…a card and napkin from a certain very well known French Patiserrie…Lauduree…they’re famous for their heavenly macarons, and a city guide to find my way there! Oh my goodness…there are just so many things in my life recently, that are pointing me towards Paris.
Do you think that perhaps Georgianna knew about this?
Paris is always a good idea.

Seriously, if you've never visited Georgianna's magical wonderland, you're in for a real treat. Take a few moments to wander through her virtual garden. (and just in case you were thinking about it, I already have first dibs on carrying her camera bags around for her on her next international photography assignment, so don't even think about it!)
Thank you Georgianna!
