Paris State of Mind

Anyone going to Paris? Care to take Sarah Daffodil with you?

Daffodil's first taste of France came with a song that her piano teacher didn't want to teach her for personal reasons. However, once Daffodil read Les Miserables, her interest in France sparked. This lead to personal studies of French history. Daffodil is even interested in touring sewers in Paris! In March she will see the Les Miserables musical.

She will compete in the Philadelphia Flower Show, which has the theme of "Springtime in Paris." To get the feel for this, Daffodil watched several episodes of Rick Steves' travels to France. Audrey Hepburn movies helped too. Daffodil made a 50s style apron fringed with the Eiffel Tower. She wears this when she is working on her picture and when she makes French bread.
