{Chocolates from Ria IT'S ME...}

Sunday was the perfect afternoon for having our chocolates on the balcony because it was such a lovely day. Yes, I am talking about THE chocolates from Ria IT'S ME... Read the earlier post below about Visiting Ria from IT'S ME and Ria's reply to that here>: Bijzonder bezoek in de winkel !!.......Special visit in the shop !!......
 THANKS Ria and Rein for those delicious tulip chocolates from your Bonhof Bloemen store!
Don't they look lovely on the French Gien Rose china and the linen rose damask tablecloth?
With a cup of hot chocolate, they were a perfect match. For me the dark chocolate was my choice...
We even had some fragrant roses from our garden. That is quite a miracle after the very hot and dry summer.
For us on Sunday it was a perfect NAZOMER...
This is the Dutch version of Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine that I received from Ria and Rein.
Or a perfect LATE SUMMER...
The English version of Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine that Ria and Rein do sell from their Bonhof Bloemen store.
You can order now the Kerst or Christmas edition on their website.
Even our grass is green again after the heavy rain last week...
That makes me happy!
There is so much to be grateful for...
Things look really rosy...
This is about the best time of the year for central Georgia.
Rose silverware is seen in my earrings and also my favorite silver Rose Repousse Silver ring that I lost in April of 2019...
Let me stand up for you and go to the gazebo.
This is my silk Marc Cain skirt with Escada twinset and Escada shoes. Wolford individual 10; my favorite hosiery from the Woodbury Common Premium Outlet in NY.
Look how lovely the day was on Sunday the 16th!
Monday was equally lovely...

  4. Hei Mariette,

    Dat ziet er gezellig en stijlvol uit. Rozen zijn er in vele soorten, het zijn prachtige bloemen. Jullie hadden een warme en droge zomer, wij helaas een natte en grijze zomer..

    Groetjes Sandy

  14. Hallo Mariette,

    Wat zie je er weer leuk uit! En altijd die mooie schoentjes, ik ben gek op schoenen, helaas kan ik die hele hoge hakken niet meer dragen, jammerrrr. En een gezellig hoekje heb je gemaakt, ik ben gek op chocola, zoniet verslaafd! Wat een heerlijk weer nog, ja de zon is nu aangenaam en brandt niet zo als in de zomer.

    Fijne dagen,

    Liefs Janny

  16. Dear Mariette:
    What a lovely and sweet gift, and what a beautiful table you have set. Everything look so perfect and cozy. As soon as I saw your hot chocolate cups I had to prepare one for me to stop the cravings.
    And...oh boy! certainly you look so gorgeous and so happy.
    And with your very nice and warm smile it seems like you are welcoming us to your garden of peace.

    By the way, I do know Angela, I'm her follower, that is where I got the idea of the teapots, as I posted in my first teapots I made, I wrote her link, because she has a wonderful tutorial.

    Have a nice day and enjoy your hot chocolate my friend.

    Con cariño,

    Tu amiga

    Laura =)
