Thank you for visiting The French Elements blog where French is a state of mind. If I can't be in France, at least my mind can spend some time there. Won't you join me?
My name is Barb and I am the woman behind the online boutique THE FRENCH ELEMENTS. While I will always keep The French Elements blog (so many memories), I have started a new one and I hope you will visit.
CHASING THE NEXT CHAPTER is about change. The past few months I have been thinking about writing a new blog. My youngest son passed away 7/1/2015 and life will never be the same for us. He entered Heaven and we entered a new chapter in our lives. A very different chapter that is still unfolding.
We have always talked about moving back to Europe (or elsewhere). The talk continues but we are planning on making the dream our reality.
He would be pleased.
Know who you are, accept who you are, be who you are.
Tres chic!
When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

The most powerful thing you can do to change the world, is to change your own beliefs about the nature of life, people, reality, to something more positive.

If the chapeau fits......
Jayde, Hailey, and Annika.
They love hats so I know that mine will be in good hands (in the future).
Can you tell that Annika loves to have her picture taken?
Look at those darling ladies in their chapeaux! What big eyes and smiles! You are so blessed, Barb! Yes, isn't Carmel a fun get-away? We must do tea again. Love and blessings your way, Anita P.S. Thank you so much for your comments my friend!

Oh My Goodness, how adorable.
Sooo sweet Barb, it does not get any better than that does it? All the best, Chrissy
I'm so glad you are not getting rid of the hats. The girls are so sweet and they look so happy and fun. Hats are so fun!
What little darlings! They look so cute in your hats! :)
They are all adorable girls, Barb! Your cup runneth over :-)
I loved the French antique and decorating books you showed in the ohter post too!
