French Pinks

"Bonjour" Pink Saturday friends.
Images taken in the South of France often depict blue, every shade of blue can be seen especially on window shutters, doors etc.
While exploring the winding cobbled back streets of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in Provence recently, I happened upon this storefront which was definitely a change of pace.........................shades of pinky red and pale apricot definitely brought out the beauty of the woodwork.
And the shop......................well, when I peered through the windows it was lovely inside too, and chock-a-block with antiques and vintage treasures. The only disappointment......................it was closed for the usual long afternoon lunch break and I couldn't wait 2 hours for it to reopen!


Here's to a pleasant weekend and, if you have time, do scroll back and view
the blues of France also.

Visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for more Pink Saturday fun.

    I love the detail on that store front! Too bad you were not able to go inside-but a peek is better then not! Thank you for posting pics!

    Happy Pink Saturday, dear Mary.

    I agree that to enter this shop would have been a special treat.

    It is quite wet and mushy over here, too. I've been so busy at work that I am glad to have this day to stay home. I am giving a bridal shower next Saturday, so I will be gathering and organizing my serving pieces this weekend.

    That looks like a storybook shop. Too bad it wasn't open, but then again, maybe not too. You would have been shipping things home. LOL. Have a great Saturday. For us it is a rainy one and soon to be snow we are hearing. Boy, I dread that.
