Lola aime Paris
(Lola loves Paris)

Teryl aime Paris too and your pictures make me die to go back! I was last there in 1992!

peggy aplSEEDS said...

how about "oh là là, Lola!"

Jill La Fleur said...

Just discovered your blog and love it! So charming and right up my alley. I have to say, the contest idea is so sweet...just love your writing style and photos and look forward to continuing to follow your blog.
Okay, so the simple idea I came up with for you is
Paris...La Vie En Rose
I've always been drawn to Paris myself (yes, La Fleur is my real name!) and would love to live there someday for even a very short while. Okay, I would take just a vacation..who are we kidding!
Someday...
La Vie En Rose always struck me as a great way to see/live life...it essentially means "life in pink" (or living/seeing life through rose colored glasses). Sounds like a nice way to live each day!

Hope you make it back again soon!
Oh, I also like
Paris..à la prochaine! (Until we meet again!)

carol in ca said...

how about:
le fait de faire trébucher autour de Paris? (tripping around Paris)

Rebecca said...

Okay...how about...'SECRETS OF A GIRL IN PARIS....'...that's all i got!

pam said...

I already submitted a couple suggestions, but this one came to me while I was at the kitchen sink, so it must be brilliant; "2010, a Paris Odessey." Like I said, brilliant, non? I seriouly want to win, so I'm still keeping my thinking cap on!

Candace said...

Okay so...

I really, REALLY, really...
desperately want to win this giveaway. And because I'm totally shameless, I'll use this opportunity to say that I've never, ever won anything before.

Like.Ever.

This would be a magical first for me-- kinda like your Jean-Pierre.

Um.. hows about

"Cigies and Snails and Smokin' Hot Males"

Ended up painting my home your "faded silk" and I'm in love with it. Thanks for your endless inspiration. Luvs!

Mary Jane said...

Delicious JOY! your gifts are Delicious Joy! your blog is Delicious Joy! your trip was Delicious Joy! Thanks for sharing with us all!

dimestorepretty said...

My wonderful husband has no urge what-so-ever to see Paris. I have been troubled by this, feeling that someday if I were to make it across the pond, It would be taking my love kicking and groaning. That was until I read your post and immediately made pact with my very best girlfriend that we would one day share an innocent kiss between friends at the top of the Sacre-Cour. Thank you for sharing.

imagine my delight and surprise as i happened upon your blog for the first time!
imagine my delight and surprise in finding that there is another woman out there who is as fond of the eifel tower as i!!
you see, the eifel tower symbolizes something very vital in my life...dreams.
happy dreams. perfect dreams.
so no matter what my life may hold at the time, way deep down in the corner of my heart, i still have the eifel tower and my dreams!
i have started a small collection of eifel tower "treasures" to keep the dreams alive. what would we be without our dreams?
whether or not i ever get to paris to behold the tower with my very own eyes remains uncertain...
but one this is certain.
reading your story is like living my dream. it's perfect.
so my entry for the title is-
"a pocketful of paris."

I have to apologize for not being up to the task of naming your trip. I can barely come up with my kids names, today! But, I have so enjoyed reading about your adventures and hope that one day I, too, am able to adventure like this!

ode to madeleine peyroux : call it:

Blissful Blisters :)

SusanD said...

Oh what a fun and exciting trip. I'm not very creative but what about: Belles and Beaux. I know. Lame. I'd still love the chance to win. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, SusanD

Jenna Ables said...

First off, I am sooo jealous of your trip! I dream of going to Paris some day and looking at your gorgeous photos has just increased my longing. And this giveaway is so great! Such pretty things :)

As far as a name all I can think of is "Paris in the Springtime"...it's simple but chic (at least I think so :))...And the song "I Love Paris" from Ella Fitzgerald talks about loving Paris in the Springtime so I thought it could be the theme song :)

Decor To Adore said...

Remember in 101 Dalmations when Cruella screeches out: "Oh, it's too easy..."
Yeah, doesn't apply here but I need that ring. Need it.

I am scrolling through the comments and I don't see it.

So here it is: Ménage à trois. The literal translation is "A household of three". Get your minds out of the gutter people.

Kim Hansen said...

I am freaking out! I have been consumed for two days trying to think of something! I am a photographer and want those actions:)

I think it should be "My French Fairytale" But written in French? Hmmm. Simple but cute!

Marla said...

I am so jealous of your adventure in Paris. What a dream come true for you! I'm not so creative with titles, but dreaming in Paris sounds good, however you say that in French. I would adore the necklace and dream of Paris as long as I was wearing it. Thanks for the chance to win. Marla

Marla said...

I just bragged about you and your giveaway on my blog. Sevenpalms.blogspot.com Marla

Trina said...

I commented awhile ago, but I don't see it here. Sorry if you get this twice.

Here is the best name my tired, uncreative brain could come up with: Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Paris Style!

I love the way you blog and I adore your photos! Thanks for the chance to win.

Unknown said...

It's difficult to think on the spot -- but I've been out of town, and upon my return I am seeing this post just minutes before it ends!!! ... hmmm ...

... what about ...
"La Vie Promise"

... or ...
"voyage de Paris: la nourriture, l'amusement, et les amis dans les chaussures fabuleuses"

Regardless, I LOVE reading about your adventures (Paris or America) and think this is a FAB give-away!!!

Thanx

Lisa said...

I am going to Paris in June with two girl friends and am loving your photos and commentary.

I am currently at a loss for a trip title but thinking I will need to come up with one for mine as well...dbl drats as I can't think of anything clever at the moment and I am not sure more time will help.

Laura King said...

I feel so happy when I read your blog.
I admire your creativity and photography!
Thanks for the opportunity to win your amazing goodies!
Hmmm.....
I don't speak French, so I can't think of a catchy title with French words but her is my try,
Simply Paris.
You did so much, but all in all it was Paris!
