Charming

Hello Fabulous Ooh La Frou Frou City Girls!

I hope that all of you had a charming weekend!

The word
CHARMING
is used to describe so many things ...

such as a place (Paris?) ...

an item (an absolutely charming dress!) ...

or a quality in a person (I wish I had her charm!)

What says "charming" to you?

"Charm is a glow within a woman

 that casts a most becoming light on others."

John Mason Brown

~ What is Charming to Me? ~
The quality that either a person, place or thing

possesses that makes me feel
utterly taken, happy, cherished and inspired.
 In a person, it's usually unassuming.
Here is a small handful of some of the things that
I find charming ...

Someone that is witty and makes me laugh

 is absolutely charming.

~

The way a man's eyes crinkle in the corners

when he smiles is deadly charming.

~

Ballet slippers with little perfectly-shaped bows are charming.

~

Orange and pink is such a charming color combination.

You can see that this could go on forever!

I bet you have some fabulous additions .. I'd love to hear them!

My thoughts are of "charm" this week

because a "charming" new Valentine
 has been added to the
Ooh La Frou Frou Collection,
entitled "Charming Valentine."
My Valentine charm bracelet illustration

jewelry-loving girlfriend, a daughter or mom!
