i was looking for guimauve marias all morning yesterday, but {running up to saint nicholas} not one shop stocked them. i had a plan, a plan that failed through lack of marias. so i got myself a time out instead. {funnily enough, maria is also plural form to the lunar mare, or the dark regions on the moon. i could have done something lunatic ☻!} patrice, in full admiration of all of the venetian marias around {yep-i-know-that-feeling}, on her blog this weekend.

    I LOVE this one! This is so typically you finding a totally different and witty solution for the theme. TERRIFIC! I will be thrilled by this for the rest of this day. Thank you!

    ha-ha! but don't ask me what i thought they were at first! (hint:the second idea was that they were balloons). you do keep us guessing.

    is this a rude comment to leave?

    Ha Ha, I must admit that I did not know what it Guimauve means. I thought "she looked Marias painted by Cimabue, and did not find any" then I searched in Google.
    Ok. Guimauve Marias exist? :O
    ;)))

    that's the right Maria attitude, always look for a (funny) solution, it's sometimes closer than one would expect, perfect sweetie, xx

    Haha, it seems it's no Maria season right now! They're back again for Christmas or whatever holy event there might come...still in their holidays, taking their time-out! Haha! Reminds me of a children's book I once had which asked what father christmas does during the rest of the year. Of course he was on vacations, having a good time at the beach. Maybe with a bus full of Guimauve Marias? Who knows...Big hugs for this (and even more) and sorry I haven't been around last time...time-out, you know? ;o))
