Fetish Ispahan!

Pierre Herme's Pink Ispahan, Watercolor, 9" x 11"
THANK YOU for all the well-wishes To Get In The Pink of Health. I've got PINK on the brain.
So much 'pink' to taste. Herme even has miniature pink gateaux. Along with le monstre Ispahan.


Et bien sur les individuals.
Beaucoup du individuals.
But it only takes one.
This Ispahan verrine is toooo pretty!
Paris taught me to love roses. They're on almost every street corner. Merci au Nom de la Rose. Paris Breakfast at EtsyFrench Pink Tea, watercolor 9" x 11"
One visit I went wild and bought everything rose in sight. The In The Pink Report:
My MRI says I have quite a few herniated disks but,  no surgery required.
GRAND MERCI!
I am crazy for my new physical therapist - he gave me ultra-sound/accupressure/massage + heat yesterday.
I feel newborn.
I'm feeling much better thanks to all your kind words.
BONJOUR FETISH ISPAHAN!

    I'm another faithful reader of your blog.
    I'm so glad that the MRI results ruled out surgery.
    Hope the PT helps relieve the pain and helps restore balance.
    All the best,

  10. THANKS Daffodil!
    It does takes time to get better.
    Rome wasn't built in a day...

    JENNY- I set these up in my room at hotel La Louisiane (great light)
    The 'pink' tea is really Permanent Rose watercolor - no way to boil up the rose petal tea in ma chambre..

  11. An ultra-massage is so much better than surgery. I'm so glad to hear your good news! Here's to good tingles as you get back on your feet.

    Did you buy the rose water / syrup from au Nom de la Rose? I didn't, and regret it.

  17. love your post today with all the pink roses and the rose items. I grow a few roses mainly I am a pink peony person but I do like rose tea and rose jam etc. In the photo today I see the rose tea and it looks like a bunch of tiny rosebuds bunched together. Is it one of those flower teas or is it actually roses that open to make the tea?
    I went on Au Nom de la Rose website but they just show the silver bag of tea not a picture of the buds/or loose tea etc.
    Did it come from them? I have had the flower teas before but not roses.

  20. Carol I'm so pleased that you are in good hands and require no surgery. Herniated discs and several as you know are big deal, just impressed with your positive outlook. My oldest brother in a physical therapist, good person to have in the family. Sending you lots more pink wishes for good days with much progress ahead.

  21. Mo surgery needed. Those are magical words, aren't they, Carol.

    Your tribute to Pink is also quite magical to see.

    Hoping that your ph. therapy sessions will continue to give you relief from pain and also help to strengthen that backbone.

  22. Some things are just too beautiful to eat. No wonder poets and artists find them inspiring. For the rest of us mere mortals, they remain divinely delicious! (Love the watercolours by the way!)
    Stay cool,Carol. Therese

  24. I was so glad to read about your MRI and 'no surgery' prognosis!
    I am sure your PT will be of great help and you'll be your old self soon! The ultrasound treatments are heaven as I recall.

    I am so impressed you have kept up your blog!

    Best wishes for continued recovery!

    So glad you didn't need surgery - when I had a herniated disc the doctor said it was either surgery or shoot me to put me out of my misery...love the pink...are they as tasty as they are beautiful? Cindy

  28. I heart my Paris Breakfast ISPAHAN & VERRINE watercolors. Thanks again Carol!

    I cut all my roses back but when they bloom again, next month, I must send you a photo of my "April In Paris" hybrid tea rose, it is planted next to my Key Lime tree.

    Sorry to hear you're having back troubles.
