Le lit du roi

The king's bed. Crimson velvet and golden brocade.

Velours cramoisi et brocart d'or.

  4. Very fancy indeed. Regarding your question about the August date on the truck, it's the Gay Rodeo here in Santa Fe.

  5. Oh my, that is......claustrophobic but beautiful---I think.

    Oh us Amuricans!

    Love the flowers in the church garden. How funny to have to step out to text. MB

  16. I think that with so many colours (and bright ones...) I'd have a hard time to shut my eyes...
    God bless you!

  17. I remember that. I think we also saw the queen's bed and heard the stories how everyone gathered around to watch her give birth. What fun that must have been!

    Personally, this would be a depressing place to sleep. And if I was the king, I'd worry about cutthroats sneaking around all the golden brocade trying to slash my throat as I was dreaming of an even bigger empire!

  18. Not for a claustrophobic guy like me! :-) It's beautiful, of course.
