Hello and happy Sunday to you. Have houseguests which has been very nice but had a rough weekend with Teddy whose arthritis has been hindering his ability\u00a0 to enjoy life. So hard to see him grow old. Just trying to keep him really comfortable and pain free topped with lots of love. First order of business is to announce the winner of the Blue White Love Contest! It was close but after over 2000 votes in yesterdays rounds, we have a winner. Congratulations to-<\/p>\n

Hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend.\u00a0 Have house guests this weekend and it is one hot weekend, due to get rain today which hopefully will cool things off a bit. Summer is suddenly going by fast, anyone else feel that way? Hope you are taking full advantage of each and every summer day. I am craving a day at the beach topped off with a lobster roll..yum and have that on my schedule within the week! Anyway, here we go with my Seven on Sunday-<\/p>\n

1 THE ICONIC HOTEL DE CRILLON HOTEL REOPEN<\/strong>S. This amazing hotel, one of Paris’s finest has just reopened after a very long, very expensive facelift. This was the second hotel we ever stayed in and it is as opulent as it is luxurious and quintessentially Parisian. Take a look and click here if you want to learn more-<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

This courtyard is a dream!<\/p>\n

2. IF YOU LIVE IN BIRMINGHAM AREA<\/strong>. There are two really wonderful upcoming events sponsored by\u00a0 Dixie Design, stationers extraordinaire that\u00a0 you won’t want to miss.\u00a0 Both of these sounds so wonderful, and I just know this is going to be first rate all the way. If it was any closer I would drive down there in a heartbeat! The invitations are below……sounds like so much fun! Click here for more information.<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

3. LEMON CHICKEN. <\/strong>I actually love this dish and often order it in restaurants. Ever since discovering this recipe however I like mine better than anywhere I have had it! If served with vegetables and a salad, it is totally “diet friendly” but very satisfying. Thing is it calls for more cream than I would like, so I tried first without then with just 2-3 tablespoons and it really made the difference, just adding a tiny bit. This is really really tasty and I highly recommend it. Found over at\u00a0 Little Spice Jar, click here for recipe.<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

5. INA GARTEN’S BEAUTIFUL HOME.<\/strong> I have been a long time fan of Ina, except when I heard about that incident with To Make A Wish, but as I do not know for sure if that is true, I am going to hold onto hope that it’s not. I watch her show and instantly want to be in my kitchen cooking with ingredients just picked from my teeny garden. Really like her aesthetic a lot, came across this video featuring areas of her home\/converted barn most probably have not seen (including myself) and really enjoyed it, thought you might too. Something very calming and peaceful about it-<\/p>\n

(you may want to turn down the volume , the music is an odd choice, sounds more appropriate for a surfing video and kind of a distraction)<\/p>\n
