Rentable: The Valet or La Doublure.

Bonjour!  THE VALET is a fun, frothy rental for the weekend.  A Parisian business tycoon named Pierre is caught in a great predicament.  His image was captured by the paparazzi, while leaving for his love nest with his famous mistress, Elena.  She happens to be a tragically, gorgeous model.  Pierre's wife is both angry and hurt, and gives him an ultimatum; the girl or her.  Pierre knows that divorce would be financial disaster as his wife is primary share holder.  Pierre concocts an elaborate scheme, claiming he doesn't know the woman.  Surely, the other man in the photo must be her lover.  Enter your average Joe, or Jean as it were, Francois.  Pierre finds Francois and hires him to pose as Elena's lover until the heat dies down.  Does it?  Watch this tangled mess erupt into laughter and just desserts.  This movie is in French, so be ready for subtitles if you don't speak the language of love! 

Moment of Silence.

I adore this picture for oodles of reasons....

1. He let me take a photo of him.


2. The Ninja Turtle carving in the works.


3. He's smiling.  


4. He is so darn handsome.  


5. I'm the girl that gets to make out with him.

Rachel's Surprise.

My trick and treat was finding a gorgeous box filled with my favorite French pastries.....macarons!  Rachel tricked me, by leaving them in my fridge to find later.  My favorite?  I think the raspberry was the best!  Thanks Rachel.  That was the best trick and treat....ever.  Aren't they beautiful?  Have you ever had one?

The Pumpkins.

The pumpkin with the stem nose was mine.  Loved the simplicity of it.

Pumpkin Party.

This year's party was such a wondrous success.  The chili was spicy, the company stimulating, and the quality of carvings was top notch {more carving pictures to come}.  Here were some of my favorite details:

1. Rachel and Court's pumpkin cupcakes


2. Soba's squirrel costume


3. Bryan's free hand Ninja Turtle carving


4. Listening to the Monster Mash


5. Fun chili toppings


6. Rousing conversations on artsy stuff


7. Inappropriate round of Scattergories 


8. Being among friends


9. The unequivocal feeling of home and hearth


10. Fall frivolity
