Marie Antoinette's

Doing a little bit of travel to London and Edinburgh for the next two weeks.  (vacation...conferencing...pub crawling...etc...)  I was going to try to use the 'blogging' app on my phone (just incase I come across somethign awesome and have to share it!) but I am not sure how well it will work.  I had no luck using the Nike+ app on my phone so I am not feeling too optimistic. I will be updating on twitter though!

Until then!

I am travelling abroad this week & weekend to the exotic soils of Canada! Very exciting as I have not been in years...

I will probably be providing 'trip-updates' on twitter if you want to follow me there.  I just hope I get some fair weather when I get there (packing dresses only!)
Enjoy the week! Be back soon ~L

I will be away from the blog for a little bit because I am moving! Yay, very exciting! But also a lot of work and stress, so for the next few days as I get settled (this has been a long process) I will not be posting. But you can find me on twitter! 

Be back soon!!

I will be out of the salon for the next few days,  making a trip to merry New England!  While I am away, be sure to take part in my poll for this week! Also, let me know of any fun happenings I am missing out on!

Heather and I will be away for the weekend, taking a much needed break in the country!  We have a party of five and will be joining two more at a fabulous early century farmhouse. Posh! See you all on Monday!

I will be out of town and more importantly away from my trusted computer for the rest of the week!  I am sure I will miss a lot of the happenings in blog land so, bear with!  I will do my best to keep up to date on ye olde Twitter, so you can always reach me there!

So a few things before I head out:
Last week we had a poll "Why do you love 18th century France?" and the results are in!

The art	37 (39%)
The fashion	68 (73%)
The political scene	20 (21%)
The music	30 (32%)
The theatre	21 (22%)
The royal court	43 (46%)
The architecture	39 (41%)
The scandals!	33 (35%)

Clearly we are a very fashionable crowd with extensive knowledge of the historical royal court and its colorful inhabitants with an appreciation for architecture and art!

I started to read The Scarlet Pimpernel avec Heather, and I just love it. In fact, it has been the source of my lack of sleep lately! I stay up and say 'just one more chapter' and then of course regret my foolish choice the next morning- but when a book is that good, how can you complain! If anyone else wants to read along I suggest it! We can all discuss SP & the characters within!

Ok, off to bed! *tosses book across the room*

Nicolas Lancret, Winter, 1738. Oil on canvas. Musée du Louvre.

 

Business in London this week! Tea with Mr. Darcy and other related things to do!

I am headed off now, it will be so weird to be away from the blog and everyone for so long!! I am looking forward to all the gossip when we get back!
