OK
Here's a photo of my "stuff"


The scarves are from Paris, Avignon, and Barcelona, the shirt was from Avignon.
After I took this and put everything away, I realized I'd forgotten 3 mini Eiffel Towers, my little bag of France's Mediterranean beach sand & shells, (gathered while on a walk) and another bottle of wine (that had to come back in someone else's suitcase)

I know it's not a huge amount, but I didn't have a lot of space...

Here's a couple of close ups:


The brown glob beside the black scarf is driftwood.
I'm going to try to make some hair sticks from the drift wood sticks in the jar.
Behind the sticks is another scarf.
The blue and clear jars had yogurt in them.
One of my gargoyles is looking at the assorted key chains and Euros
And that's a (copy of) Gaudi's lizard beside him (in front of the Eiffel Tower)
The amber hair stick in the carafe beside the blue jar came from a little shop in Carcassonne
That's dark chocolate with sea salt behind the Eiffel Tower



The tall weird looking hand blown glass is a porron from Barcelona
There is a snake bracelet from Barcelona wrapped around it (for the photo)
Behind the porron spout is a bag of Herbes de Provence from Avignon
The two jars stacked beside the Eiffel tower sea salt shaker are chestnut cream and apricot jam
A pair of Eiffel tower earrings are hanging between the jars
the wooden "soap" has a hole (with a plug) for dried lavender and little scent holes in top
There's a olive oil pour spout and a wooden handled spreading knife
The other gargoyle is in front of two jars of garlic and thyme olive oil and a small jar of lavender essential oil
There is a bottle of balsamic reduction
6 mini jars of vinaigrette, 2 plain, 2 balsamic and 2 citrus
Everything is laying on a table cloth made in Provence
There are 7 scarves in total
And of course the boots!


I think that's everything...

That's quite a haul. Love the shirt, drooling over cooking ingredients.

You did good! No, GREAT! I love everything. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! (Yes, I am picturing myself in the shirt, boots, and scarves.)

Saw this on Facebook:

A couple of days ago, when my math teacher asked, "Any questions?" I asked "What is the meaning of life?" She simply replied, "The meaning of life is math." Today we realized that, in the alphabet, M is the 13th letter, A is the 1st letter, T is the 20th letter, and H is the 8th letter. 13 + 1 + 20 + 8 = 42

mind blown

In the afternoon my energy level slowly died. A lot of time was spent on the couch.

My fingers are still swollen from the flight...

Sunday

Last night I was in bed by 9:45!

I was awake at 6 and laid there till 8 before getting up. (I'm still on Paris time)
I did some paperwork. Boring.

We cleared a space in my office and moved a twin bed in, preparing for Daughter's ACL surgery on Wednesday. My office is on the main floor, next to the bathroom, She'll be there for a few days, until she can handle stairs again.

Slow day. I start out with energy in the morning, and by late afternoon I'm dragging.
I should create my Home Instruction lesson for tomorrow morning.
I should try to organize my photos

I think I'll have another bite of my sea salt dark chocolate bar...

Foods
Chai
1/2 a frittata: eggs, cheese, bacon, onion, green pepper (my Farmer made it)
MCT oil shot
small salad: cauliflower, blue, bree, bacon, carrot, cranberry, mango, mushroom salad with one of my mini olive oil & basalmic vinaigrettes from France
red wine, pistachios, brazil nuts
roast chicken, cauliflower, carrots, brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, olives, shaved parmesan cheese, frozen cherries and whipping cream, small piece of my sea salt & dark chocolate bar

Welcome home .

Impressive shopping haul. Much more than I brought back when I was there. Next time, I'll aim to match you! We're aiming for Italy next year.

You haven't spoken yet of the food...I'm waiting...
