You have left me sighing with such happiness. <br /><br />I would really love to crawl up into that big bed and feel the warmth from the fireplace. I could lay there and read for hours I know. <br /><br />And the little narrow streets with all of the shops. My goodness I would be on the same street for a day. I know I would love exploring all the little shops.<br /><br />Who wouldn't want to sit in the sun on the lawn at Mas de Berard? I want to sit in that leopard looking chair. That is definitely the seat for me. Look at all of the beautiful pillows.<br /><br />I am definitely going to Border.com and purchasing a book. I mean a girl can always dream right? Sighhhhh.<br /><br />Have a beautiful day sweetie. I so love this post.
