That literally translates to I AM FULL BUT, that expression
does not translate in French.
I've made the mistake several times of saying "Je suis plein"
after a full meal only to get strange giggles from my French
friends.
That is a vulgar way for a woman to say she is pregnant
or also slang for I am drunk.
Strange that the phrase does not translate in French or
maybe not, because as many times as I have been there,
I am never full, its just never quite enough !! The more I taste,
the more I want. I am Gourmandise!!
So, I am back and the container is full of Country French Antiques
and I'm a bit more French, but unlike the container, not full. Just
left with the hunger for more.
I had a wonderful trip and took over 600 photographs.
Walked through a lot of new doors
And was left wondering what lie behind others
Found a lot of inspiration
Have a new appreciation for the colors of the earth
Took a trip to Marrakech
Just wanted to do a quick post to say I am back and can't wait to tell you more,

I would love to go back to France, it's been 12 years since I've been! I know what you mean, you can never get enough! Love France and the French style, I would love to come to your store sometime, I'm only about 45 miles away!

YAY Shawn's back!! So glad you made it home safe and well. I've been busting for you to post again. I've missed your inspiring pictures. How exciting you have a container load full of French country treasures...that is like a dream come true lol.
I'm also so excited to hear about your trip to Marrakech. The images of the doors are incredible. Thank you for taking so many pics. Doors are one of my most favourite architectural elements.

Have you heard the expression "j'ai les dents du fond que baignent"? Literally translates to "my back teeth are swimming." It's horrendous but it's definitely French for I'm full. ;- )
je decouvre l'univers superbe,tres belles ambiances
