Fresh and French

Just a seductive shot of some French tulips, my favorite kind, in front of a recent purchase; a fantastically faded beauty which I guess is French.
And, yes, my post about the fair IS coming soon, I just have some problems with my photo archive...

Chinoiserie...

..is something I really have a weak spot for.
These two ladies easily found there way into my home where they hang on opposite walls always looking at me in a slightly puzzling way..
