A Religieuse a' la Rose
from Laduree~
Here is my secret...
Take one to go...
Order tea for two
room service...
Always Earl Grey ...
shhhhhh....
Sometimes this is our dinner~

Last year in Paris
I found Rose Petal tea!
Pure roses!
It is heaven...
Clear hot rose water~

I also just discovered Rose Jam~
Noel brought me a jar~
I can't believe what I have
been missing out on!

There is nothing more
delicate than the flavor of Rose Jam
on a baguette~

My friend Corey from
Tongue & Cheek
makes her own
Rose Jam!
with real Rose petals~
See her recipe
Here~

These are a treat too!
You can buy sugar coated rose
petals to sweeten your tea
or for cooking~
Have a great week!

Where Would You Live?

Photo from Absolutlybeautifulthings

If you HAD to live in a truck...
Would you live in this one,
on the water with a
crystal chandelier?

Or in this Laduree truck,
in Paris?

Just wondering...

Free Bluetooth Net Config v1.0.0

Alhamdullilah. software kecil-kecilan yang aku buat untuk membantu teman teman semua akhirnya selesai juga dibuat..

Taraaa.....
Bluetooth Net Config namanya. Software ini sangat kecil sekali dibanding software lainya, tapi bukan virus lo..Sumpah dech..cos ukuranya kecil banget dibawah 100kb.. Terang aja Fungsi dari software ini juga ga banyak kok..

Software ini aku buat untuk membantu temen temen dalam mensetting komputernya untuk berinternetan menggunakan bluetooth. maksudnya? begini waktu kita internetan menggunakan bluetooth kan biasanya kita diminta untuk memasukan code terlebih dahulu di Settingan Hardware pada device manager. Tul ga?? ya iyalah..

biasanya kan kita diminta untuk memasukan kode berikut :

at+cgdcont,"IP", "APN anda"
betul ga?bagi yang udah tau atau udah biasa sangatlah mudah untuk mensettingnya. tapi bagi teman-teman yang baru newbie dalam mensetting hal ini, pasti sangatlah rumit. yang harus nyari dimana device Manager, Hardware dan bla bla bla... tapi dengan software kecil kecilan ini kamu bisa setting hal tersebut dengan sangat mudah..cukup masukan di Kotak APN(Acsess Point Name) terus pencet Ok..langsung deh kesetting untuk acses point tersebut.
Mudah kan..

Mungkin ada yang kurang paham namanya Acsess point atau APN. Acsses point yang dimaksud disini adalah accses point yang di gunakan sebagai IP Proxy nya kita. Contoh untuk telkomsel adalah internet atau Flash, untuk indosat "www.indosat-m3.net" dan seterusnya yang juga udah di sertakan di dalam program tersebut Silakan unduh ni,,,

I Thank You

I time traveled....
last Wednesday afternoon,
to a place & time
that was innocent
&
when I felt very very loved~

When friends
dressed like twins...
and would stay all night~

When my Mom made a
Holiday
out of any
ordinary day...
because she loved me!

When I could
eat pretty cookies
and they weren't
bad for me~

How did I go here?
Someone took me!
Who took me?
Judith
from Paris Atelier ~
Here's how she did it...
A box arrived at my door
last week~
When I opened it,
I was in complete and utter awe!
I sat.
I looked.
I remembered.
There was a time when I was little,
my Mom
made everything
really special for me...
She left little wrapped presents,
or sometimes pretty candies
on my nightstand when I went to sleep.
When I woke up in the morning
she told me
"the fairy brought them"~
&
I believed her!
My days were full of imagination
&
surprise!
The box at my doorstep was
filled with the most thoughtful
surprises~
Each were wrapped
& tucked so carefully
(like a fairy did it)...
I honestly did not want to open them.
I just wanted to look at them to never forget
the moment of remembering
&
the feeling this box delivered~
I Thank You
Judith
for taking me to a time
that I had almost forgotten~

I was the Lucky winner of the
first giveaway
that launched Judith's new
&
Amazingly Beautiful
Paris Ateliers Boutique!
You must travel there with me now
to a place full of nostalgia & beauty~
I want to show you each detail
of the prizes I won~

First there was this small vintage gift card~

Clouds of white tissue filled the box!
Underneath was this adorable
vintage white wicker basket
with faded blush & creamy velvet millinery flowers
and ribbon... beautifully wrapped prizes
folded in white tissue
with soft pink French ribbon around each one~

One prize was tucked on top of the basket!

A close up of the flowers~

One gift was a white linen handkerchief with a monogram
J
on it for Janet~

Another with a monogrammed N on it for my
Noel~
A pair of ladies white leather gloves,
a small needlepoint handbag
and another all white embroidery
handkerchief~

Omg!!!
No!!
She didn't put something inside the
pink satin pouch that lined the basket too!!!
Oh YES she did!!!

More sweetly wrapped surprises!
(this is when my eyes filled...)
I was overwhelmed by the
Love Judith sent and
how much thought she put into this
&
what it meant to me...
All this in a BOX?
I time traveled
to my days of being little
&
to my Mom
&
feeling very very
loved!
I called my Mom & thanked her
for my world of wonder & make believe~
And for filling my days
with magic...

This
small mother of pearl change purse
was picked out for just for me and
was wrapped in white Italian dupioni silk
with a vintage flower trim.
She knows my love for these pieces
like she has known me forever...
(we have never met in person..
though so close...
see the power of blogging?)

Lastly,
this adorable miniature striped chair!
For what?
What else but for my Marie Antoinette
hairdo!

As much as I adore every single thing Judith
sent me... There is nothing that I can
write or say to you to describe
the magic I felt.
Judith will take you to a place
of the unexpected~
&
She has the eye for amazing vintage pieces!
&
I Thank you
Judith
from
the bottom of my
Heart~

Please Don't forget to visit
Judith's new shop
Here!!


You may be surprised where
or what

you believe in afterall~

Through The Eyes of An Angel

Through the eyes of an

Angel .......

Everything is pure
like living in a white peony~

Since she could walk,
there was something about her...
like a Fairytale~

She painted like Picasso~
She created wildly
&
Loved
to cut
paper!

She can sculpt anything
&
with details
like nothing I have
ever seen before~

She patiently places layers & layers
of french paper...
like rose petals,
one by one to create shoes,
fit for Cinderella's
that live in her
Fairytale~

Most of you already know her...
but just in case you don't,
please let me properly introduce
to you...
My Daughter,
Noel
from
Fanciful Designs.
She is my friend, my partner {in crime},
&
the most beautiful unique Artist
I have ever witnessed~
Above is a note she
wrote to me...
although very personal,
I want to share it
with you~
just because I am even more proud of
who She is~

She made this paper mache'
Angel with white feather wings
&
put it with the note
on my dinner plate
last Christmas...

Noel's art is Miraculous~
It is truly
created
through
the eyes & mind of an
Angel....

To see more
of Noel's paper art
&
other whimsical pieces
please visit

And her precious
blog world
Here~

Noel
&
Prince Charming


As I watch her grow....
I want to slow down time...
I know I can't...
So I hold on to every single moment
with her.
I Honer her.
I Adore her.
&
I Love her~

Photo 4,12 & 13 from such pretty things
Whenever we are together,
we place sparkles
on our
velvety
days
that are
like flowers....

XO's
Mauhhhhhha!

P.S.
There is just one more
thing about Noel...
{I will be in Big trouble after this BUT...}
I am Mom
&
I am So Proud~
Noel has modeled for
magazines & catalogs
in the U.K & U.S.
Below are a few of my favorite
photos of her
