If you have not yet seen this incredible film, please do not hesitate. Chronicling the tragically short life of French icon Edith Piaf, it will make you want to travel more, do more, live more because you don't know when life can be cut short. Edith surely fit a large life into her 47 years. You really have no excuse not to indulge yourself, as the film is now on DVD. The story is heartrendingly beautiful, funny and sad. The acting is brilliant. The Music is, well, incomparably and classically French. C'est magnifique!

I just mentioned this on my New Years blog! I absolutely loved this movie and am now an Edith Piaf fanatic. Great movie recommendation.
Thank you for the movie recommendation- sounds like a great film! And I love the images here, particularly the Agostinelli room. One of my favorites!

Gotta see it, Mrs. E is, of course, a big fan after finishing high school in France.
Don't forget the Kay Thompson's "Think Pink" homage .
And, interestingly (to me at least) pink was once thought too strong a colour for women to wear as it derives from red-- Mars, the God of War's color. Pink, was strictly for men...
Hello lisa and alfie! I am so glad you dropped in! I love a good antique blogger.

Hello Mr. E!
Thank you for the visit! And also for the interesting tidbit about pink. Just more ammunition for me to get my husband into a pink oxford. He looks great in pink!
I love these pink rooms (especially that bathtub!!), and will definitely rent the movie. Thanks for the tip.
I love the tufted pink beds! What dreams these would inspire! The chaise draped in gorgeous textiles is also dreamy. Thank you for this pretty pink post.

This movie is gorgeous And to see " la vie en rose " surrounded by rose is the best time in life .
Lovely post
Wonderful film! I have a thing for seeing foreign films alone at this little art house theatre here in Houston. I saw this one and has to take my husband back to see it with me again. Merci!
Hi Jennifer! I love that bathtub too! I can see it filled with rose petals. Sigh.
Hello Melanie! Thanks for the visit! :)
Hello Contessa! I have loved that bedroom for a long time! Can you beleive those beds were from a flea market?! I think I must move to France! :)
Sheri! Thank you so much for the visit! I love your blog and the Edith Piaf music! HEY ALL! GO VISIT SHERI'S BLOG!
Oh, what a beautiful, romantic, inspiring post. I always enjoy a visit here! Piaf's life was (and is) such a gift to us all. And this performance is perfection.
That is a powerful film. Great post!
Hi Katie, Thanks for the recommendation. I'm definitely adding it to my netflix. My jaw dropped when I saw the last photo with the pink, completely tufted head and footboards. Wow!! I am addicted to tufted furniture and I haven't really seen a fully tufted footboard before. Plus it's Pink! Very cool!
Oh Katie ! these are delicious! I especially love the last one!! YUM!!!
I have seen the dvd, I have to go rent it now...I wouldn't have but now I have to! great pink finds too
Oh..its such a beautiful and touching movie! I watched it the first time on a 9hour long flight (of all the places), and then saw it again on DVD at my home!
The image with the large pink Frida Kahlo is one of my favorites. As well the Jacques Grange girls room in quilted pink. Nice blog!
Hello all! Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you all enjoy the film.
I think it may win a few Oscars!
Hi Topsy!

Hi Katie! Hadn't seen a post in a bit so I thought I'd comment anyways! Happy weekend!

Oh no...nuh-uh. Those "PANK" beds look like Frank E. Campbell's Funeral Parlor. Who vacuums those tufts? Love everything else.
Katie - hurry up and come back to us!!
Hi Melissa!
Sorry I've been gone so long. Life has way of getting very hectic around here. I miss ya! Thnaks for the visit. :)
HA! Halcyon, you are crackin' me up! I guess it would be a chore to get the lint balls out of those tufts. I hadn't considered that. :D
