Thursday Challenge—"bright"

How about a bright-pink tulip
to brighten up a dreary winter day?

Thursday Challenge—"bright colors"

I saw this colorful dishware in the window
of a shop on the rue de Seine, in Paris.
It reminded me of Fiesta ware—only a very
chic French version.  If I had an apartment in Paris,
I'd get some of these for sure (because
if I could afford the apartment, then I could
certainly afford the dishes).  If only.

Thursday Challenge—bright colors

They've now been handed out (and much appreciated
by all).  Sometimes, though, I think the packages are
so pretty, it's almost a shame to open them!
I'm wishing a Happy Boxing Day (read about
it here) to all my pals who are celebrating today.

A chicken in every pot

I don't exactly travel to shop, but on every trip
there's always something I wish I had bought.  This
shop was closed, but I could have gone back.
Assuming they don't cost 10 times more than
an actual poulet, I can think of a few
friends who would love to store their plastic bags
(that's what they're for) in one of these fun, colorful birds!
