I’ve been online trying to decide what cd to buy next and in a round about way came across Melody Gardot’s music video La Vie en Rose which was sponsored by Piaget. Um can I just say I am drooling over the diamonds and gold and while I’m not really a fancy jewelry person nor a big fan of designs in jewelry I am in LOVE with the rose collection, particularly the Piaget rose gold rose ring, pictured directly below.
I’ll definitely have to keep my eyes open for something similar that could actually fit into my budget. Anyone have suggestions on where to look?
{Happy 2013 by the way! I’m way behind on postings, weeks of sickness on top of holiday craziness really slowed me down and I plan on catching up very soon!}
I heard this song on tv today thought it was perfect for todays post. Alrighty, I have some catching up to do. I can’t believe it’s already May!! 2012 is going by quickly. Since I already posted about my trip to the aquarium I thought I would focus my photos on my weekend getaway to the lovely Madison, Georgia historically known as ‘the city Sherman refused to burn.’ Learn more about the history of Madison here. April photo a day challenge~The End #photoadayapril 25} Looking Down~Checking out the lovely Dovecote House in downtown Madison, Georgia. Standing on the carriage stone. 26} Black & White~Resident Pug, Sophie, at the beautiful Madison Oaks Inn & Gardens. She is quite the character! 27} Somewhere you went~Le Petit Jardin in Madison, Georgia. Lovely garden and décor inspiration plus I love the smell of growing things. 28} 1pm~My colorful ensemble en route. We took the back roads through town for a few hours Saturday looking at all the beautiful homes. *sigh* Madison’s tour of homes is this weekend, we’ll probably be back to see inside the lovelies! 29} Circle~Blue Willow plates on the walls downstairs at home, what used to be the dining room has now become a sitting area for tea and such. I got pretty inspired and motivated from just a few days away from home. Rearranged three rooms of furniture, etc. Your welcome mother! Luv ya! Before After 30} Something that makes you sad~Saying goodbye to Madison & the end of my four day weekend=sad times. But hey Friday isn’t that far off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mini Break to Madison, Georgia The small town of Madison, Georgia is only an hour and a half from metro Atlanta but once you get there you feel hundreds of miles away especially at the beautiful Madison Oaks Inn & Gardens. My mother and I had a girls weekend of tea, antiquing, dining out, and enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Antebellum homes and small town atmosphere.
Trying on chapeaux, what lovely ladies!
We had a great time at The Madison Tea Room. Jane loves a good tea!
Admiring the Dovecote House right off Main Street. Jane is just getting off her carriage for a visit.
Shopping around town looking at fun things and getting inspiration. Love the idea of a few antique bells in a kitchen and vintage shaving mugs are a fun idea for your powder room. After a bit of vino, touring the grounds of the Madison Oaks.
Sophie is a show stealer. So funny! “Be a dear and drop a chop for me” :)
Peek-a-boo! I see you! Breakfast was delicious!
Some shots in front of the Madison Oaks Inn & Gardens with, of course, Miss. Sophie. So sad to say goodbye but we’ll definitely be back!
Made a pit stop at the local market, farm fresh tomatoes for dinner.
My treasures from the trip. Vintage shaving mug, pretty colors and design, and an antique Waterford crystal perfume bottle. Both were very reasonably priced and they look lovely on my vanity! #photoadaymay
Day 1} Peace~After my weekend away it was nice coming back to work and seeing the kids. Before I could even say ‘hello!’ and ‘could I have a hug?’ I was immediately greeted by smiling faces and pleads to be picked up. It was a good day. We had a great time on our trip! We plan on going back this weekend for the tour of homes, so stay tuned much more to come! Up next ASO Designer Showcase House 2012 + May photo a day! Have a bright day and happy may day:) Bright Girl
