Dance With Me
Through the City of Lights
-
We shall leap with joy
as we take in the sights
-
Of elegant cafes, flea markets and shops
-
Where girlfriends visit
And share their deep thoughts
(..."I wonder where she got those shoes?"...)
( ... "I really need some chocolate ..." )
-
We'll dance back in time
With some pirouette twirls
-
To vintage fashions and hats-
-
-
-
~ And wearing our pearls! ~
--
So reach for your heels,
(or boots, slippers or shoes)
And join in the dance
With some Fred Astaire moves!
Grand Jete'-ing through Paris
With Anita, you know...
( ... or is that Audrey? ... )
We'll sprinkle some glitter wherever we go!
We'll continue our journey
Long into the night
-
As we dance through Paris,
With hearts of delight!

Isn't that Anita just the dearest chickie....to put this wonderful party together... :-)

How timely! Just a couple days ago I dreamt I was a ballerina, but first I had to take a test. I'm taking that as a sign that I'm supposed to win this beautiful picture, lol! I have a hand-dyed silk scarf in the exact same colors - another sign! Anyway, just wanted to say again how much I enjoy your blog. All the best - MG
So much fun! I'm mad for the hats....and, of course, Fred Astaire.
Anita throws the best parties. And I get to meet talented people like you!
Absolutely lovely! I would start to follow you...if I wasn't already doing so! :)
