Have you noticed the countdown button on the sidebar of my blog??
Less then 3 weeks until I am in Paris!
I am all about 'all things Paris' right now.
This is my dining room table...
Simply Paris!
A dollar tree white place mat anchors the place setting. A simple black plate holds these charming 'Paris' plates from Royal Stafford.
A simple black stemmed wine glass on a thrifted Eiffel Tower coaster. My wonderful Eiffel Tower salt & pepper shakers from my sweet friend Sarah.
A black napkin with a white napkin ring and white handled flatware completes the place setting.
A few Paris items to set the mood!
I love my FiFi Flowers print!
Most of this table was thrifted. When I found the Paris plates at TJMaxx/HomeGoods, I was so excited. I had a gift card from my friends D&T and after buying some new shoes (yes, for Paris) I found these adorable plates for a bargain price!
I love the line drawings in black and white!
Just think, it won't be long that I will see these monuments in person!
I hope you will join me in the next few weeks as I enjoy all things Paris during my count down to the trip of a lifetime!
Please join Diann and I at TTF

J'adore Paris,

Wonderful idea to count down to your trip! Your black and white color scheme is great for the lovely plates with drawings of Paris. Your sweet drawing by Fifi is just the right touch. Have a good week and please take photos of Paris to share!

O MY LORD................PARIS !!!!
You must be so excited! I saw those or some similar plates about a year ago and didn't get them. I have wanted to kick myself a dozen times since. They just set the best table.
I love the black and white.
Il est tres jolie!! (Hope I got that right.)
Okay we go way way back and I know you. So I know those plates are you. So out of all the table settings you have ever done and I mean this sincerely - this is my all time favorite. I really do love it. I am so excited for you an your trip too.
