Live. Laugh. Love

Dance, as though no one is watching you.
Love, as though you have never been hurt before.
Sing, as though no one can hear you.
Live, as though Heaven is on earth.

Green Olive $12

Swarovski crystals and pearl in different shades of green... just like an olive ripen through time.

Macarons

My hubby and I first seen this pretty, cute, little thing in Paris. They come in many different colours. We didn't know what they were. FH told us it's call "Macaron".

A macaron is a traditional French pastry, dating back to the 18th centuy. We bought one to try. It's slightly bigger than the size of a small "tau sa bian" and cost more than $2 Euro!!

Really sweet and filling, good for cold weather. Made of egg white of an egg only, maybe that explained the high price.

I tried baking them! :)

Reflections $25 (one pair only)


Today is the last day of year 2006. It's time to do some reflections!
A grateful heart is what I have asked for...

Rivoli $18

'Rivoli' came to my mind when thinking of a name for this piece. Wondered where did I first hear this word from and found out that it's in Paris... : )


"Rue de Rivoli is one of the most famous streets of Paris, a commercial street whose shops include the most fashionable names in the world. The rue de Rivoli marked a transitional compromise between an urbanism of prestige monuments and aristocratic squares, and the forms of modern town planning by official regulation." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rue_de_Rivoli)

I remembered my hubby telling me that this street is the Paris '5th Avenue'! Styles!

Perhaps Love

I have been sick for the past 5 days, struck by nasty flu, which developed itself into horrible viral infection in me.

This song is dedicated to the one who took care of me during the moments of fainting spells and throwing ups...


Perhaps Love
-- John Denver --

Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
and don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you thru

O love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
Some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
A thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
Some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
A thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
