wouldn't it make you so happy everytime you came home?
miss my cute bina :( i will share some more pics later of her gorgeous town in the south of france, i was so lucky to get to spend a few days there after the teaching!
something i adore about this girl is her complete natural beauty. i have never seen her wear makeup or blowdry her hair...she is just her, natural and beautiful. i noticed so many naturally beautiful women in my classes and in paris...i love that! maybe it was more obvious to me than normal after a year of living in LA?!! hooray for no shaved armpits or waxed eyebrows!!! ;)trying desparately to catch up since getting home. my souvenir from the trip was a nice little case of bronchitis, so its been fun.
i am excited to look through everyones card for this week's challenge! i'm sorry i didn't explain 'ephemera' properly in my post...i was really tired and also had about 5 mins to use the internet...so i apologise!
happy weekend!
...you girls both look so beautiful ! miss you both...the door is amazing...maybe mine needs a paint job..oh & a fancy pillar or two ! glad to have you back on blog - missed you heaps xxx

That door is ACE!! What a cool find. HOpe you are on the mend soon Emily, take care and don't let that bronchitis take hold, I was sick with baxter and it was horrid as I couldn't take any "real" medication that would have cleared it up quick.
Hope you are on the mend soon,
Cheers,
Lee :)

Although I don't agree with you about the non shaved armpits (LOL), I know what you mean by the natural beauty of french woman...When we drive from Holland .... going south on holiday you see the changing faces...The French are really beautiful!
And about the beautiful doors... I imagine finding this behind them:
