For several years I've followed Vicki Archer's blog
French Essence. I also have both of her wonderful books,
My French Life and
French Essence. The photographs are by
Carla Coulson, who I was fortunate to meet in Paris last January. My friend Dinah Toro, owner of
Charlotte Woodson Antiques in Mt. Brook Village is a follower of her blog as well. She fell in love with the candles in Vicki's header so I emailed her and asked for the source. Now Dinah is able to sell these fabulous
Mathias candles from France. As a tribute to Vicki, we decided to photograph them on this exquisite French mirrored coffee table with metal inserts in Dinah's shop. Ohhh la la!

j'aime les bougies , et puis elles doivent sentir bon
And they doubtless smell,too
Les bougies sont une nécessité! But I must say I only choose the ones without scent...
The essence of warmth
Can't wait to come back to BHM to visit Dinah's shop!
Oh lucky you meeting the wonderfully talented Carla. I have two of her fabulous books and also Vicki Archer's lovely book. All so beautifully produced and with mind blowing photography, words and layout.
These candles are gorgeous. Not sure I could deal with figue - I'd be hungry all the time!
Wonderful tribute to Vicki and Carla... I have all the books and love each of them!
Hugs to Dinah as well!
Bises,

Thank you Vicki, and thank you Vee. I LOVE these candles.
I fell i love with Vicki's candle banner!!
Ooh-la-la...you said it.
Quite the elegant look with the creamy white on black. Now we need smell-o-vision.
Oui Bob il nous faut des images odorantes :-)
Quelle délicieuse photo, quel charme.
