Pop the Cork... it's time for Fashion...

Ooh la la... this has been a marvelous week... thank you to all my guest bloggers... and now I'm thrilled to be spending a weekend in the Champagne region... Look at the Veuve Clicquot Bentley (nooooo I did not steal it) that took me there...oooooh and the present waiting for moi inside from my dear friend Petunia... Merci beaucoup! C'est magnifique, n' est-ce pas? How do you like my French there... I got an award from my French teacher at A la Parisienne...jumping for joy at the thought of all that Vueve Clicquot... yummm...
The Road to Champagne...Here is the Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Mansion next door to where I am staying...I plan to pop over and sample some of these...Aah... Madame Clicquot... she is FASHIONABLE...A couple outifts for the weekend... loving this look...Not sure about this head pieces but it would be great for conversation... ooops... I do need a top as well...May need an evening gown... to stay at the Manoir de Verzy...it looks like PINK champagne...Loving this sitting room... cozy...
and look at my room... it is ROSY and just perfect...
I can't wait to taste what is going to be served in this dining room...
Look out the window... nothing but champagne grapes... I think I am in heaven!
Ooooh it looks like they are ready to crack open the champagne... I must run and sip the bubbles... Stay if you have time... BUT don't forget to have MORE Friday FUN by visiting... Melissa’s Beautiful Life and Julia's Hooked on Houses and be sure to visit all the PINK participants on Saturday at Beverly's How Sweet the Sound!!!

Petunia said...

Dearest Fifi:

So glad the bubbly was a lovely surprise for you! I find that traveling is so much more fun when it starts with the pop of a cork!

I do love the head wear. I wonder if I can find one in pink! What fun we could have parading around town in them. They are tres chic!

Sincerely,
Petunia who loves to occassionally wear a mop on her head!

Hi Fifi :)

I picked Vueve Clicquot to toast to you yesterday because it's my favorite too, because of the taste and the story of Madame Clicquot. I love things with a history :)

Great post yet again!
