That tour of Paris is getting me so excited for my trip in November! I may have to post this on my blog too!

Karen said...

I was very excited to be able to tell you the flowers (and get a high five) but someone beat me to it! Also called Billy Balls, but Billy Buttons is a safer google search ;)

Jackie said...

Oh man, I too was all excited to reveal the mystery of the yellow balls, but lucky Lisa and Karen beat me to it. I found out their name when I posted about this wedding that used them: http://sweetiepiepumpkinnoodle.blogspot.com/2009/05/you-had-me-at-yellow-zig-zags-and.html LOVE them!

Emilia Jane said...

I call them Billy balls too...but I guess Billy buttons is a little classier

olivia rae said...

Although, I would LOVE to take credit for something so gorgeous. ;)

I'm really loving your blog, by the way.
