The RICH.....

No, I didn't mean I am rich, I wish, however!! 



Today, hubby suggested that we should visit Fililo Garden again and to see those beautiful flowers at their full blossom. Again, it is not just a garden, it is a big mansion.....hence, a big house belongs to a once RICH family!!


You almost can see resemblance of those furniture in Versailles!!

This fire place belongs to a ball room which used for entertaining and parties!

It has been almost a year and half since the last time we visited Pairs. I bought this Chanel crown brooch in 31 Rue Cambon, Chanel boutique.  It is love at first sight!!! I will keep this brooch forever.....and give it to one of my girls. :)

Make a Wish w/ Russia Babushka doll!!

My friend, Michelle asked me about my opinion of Chanel Babushka doll's necklace once and I said "Not worth getting it"!! Now I am not so sure if I would say the same thing to this adorable babushka doll clutch!! lol However, even I want to find it, this doll clutch is probably long gone by now!! I have a real Russia Babushka doll made in Russia which is a gift from 10 years ago! I couldn't find the same one in USA since this set of 15 nesting dolls are truly intricate!! This is the biggest one which has the most exquisite engraving. Total 15 of them! (2 are missing from the pic.) I heard that you can make a wish w/ these nesting dolls. If your wish comes true, you can open one until all 15 are all open!! I never made any wish w/ them, guess I was too realistic of a person myself. I don't know if each engraved temple/castle on the dolls represents something. You can't open the smallest one which is only the size of the little finger nail. I adore those golde
