From the Words of Miss Audrey

 

I wanted to share a few beautiful quotes from a beautiful lady.  I almost named my daughter Audrey, but like a good Southern momma, I gave her a family name.   

We certainly need these examples of a true lady today. 

"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe that loving is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

 

" For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."

 "If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy tales and I like them best of all."

 

~Audrey Hepburn

My Front Porch

I love to spray paint anything, and now there are so many colors and textures, you can update anything easily. For some time, I have wanted to replace my front porch light fixtures. They are a sort of golden color that looks old and dated.  Since I do like the design but not the color, I decided to spray paint them.

Here are the before pictures.  The fixtures are dull and disappear into the brick.  

My husband took the fixtures down for me. I simply cleaned the glass and fixtures and applied two coats of black Rustoleum spray paint.  The whole project took less than an hour, and they look brand new.  I like the black against the brick. The front door is next.  The big "G" is not working!

Europe Trip

My daughter recently took a trip to Europe and was able to visit Paris, Barcelona, and a few small towns along the way.  She had a wonderful time. She took over 500 pictures - I'm not exaggerating. Here are just couple of her pics.

YUM. . .Crepes

 

A French Dining Experience

This was not her first experience eating snails. We had them on a cruise and loved them.  On our cruise; however, the snails were not served in shells.  Instead, they were served in a cute tray with a lemony olive oil.   The shells are a nice little reminder that you are, in fact, eating snails.
