Sweet Chateau

I realized while I was in France why I loved castles so much. Aside from the grandness and fairy-tale-like experience, what dawned on me was the wonder of architecture, the dream of hosting friends and family to share in the experience and the 100% character that comes along with each unique piece that makes up a castle....from the stone walls, curved staircases...to the windows opening into wide, refreshing views. I thought about this while I visited castles..sipping on a warm tea cup filled with vervain.....ahhh how wonderful....

Resilience

Ability to weather anything

Strength

Beauty

Simplicity

Longevity

Those words just popped in my head. The Chateau represents something so massive and strong...yet seems almost gently nestled in something so delicate and refined as a tea cup....You can almost see the same qualities in both objects...
