Jump into a painting!

You may remember a while back me posting about my friend who got engaged under the Eiffel Tower!
It sounded so perfect and fun that I wanted to combine that into what I would get them for an engagement present, I decided on maybe a canvas of the Eiffel Tower.

After looking around and feeling mostly uninspired by what I found I decided to commission a local artist to do the job properly!

Just a few days later I had this:

I love just about every little piece of it. The incredible detail of the structure must have had to have been done with the steadiest hand in the whole world!
Plus, the lush green lawn and blue skies make it seem like such a perfect, quiet place.

I want to be sitting between those neat hedges with you! We could be eating french pastry with the rumble of Paris traffic in the background while the sun shines on us!

Dreaming of Paris

One of my closest friends got engaged around christmas underneth the Eiffel Tower, it sounded so beautiful and picturesque that she's let me share some special photos with you of what the tower looked like at the time. I've been lucky enough to travel all over different parts of France at various points in my life but I never really loved Paris like I felt I should, everytime I went it felt like a glamourised London with more erratic traffic. But seeing these pictures reminds me of what a wonderful place it is, and that perhaps I was looking at it before through juvenile eyes without appreciating what makes Paris so special.
I want to eat macaroons at the top of the tower overlooking all the twinkly lights below, waving to everyone at the bottom!
