Strolling Paris..

So...

my dear readers..

yesterday got away from me

so 

thank you 

for your patience..

my travelogue begins in

Paris

we flew in and we stayed very close to the 

Eiffel Tower

and the

Rue Cler..

where we had breakfast and a yummy

Coffee Cream

and then off on our way..

walking an average of 10,000 steps a day..

My friend Paula sent me here..

Au Petite Bonheur La Chance...

Tiny 

and stuffed from floor to ceiling..

with so many different things..

antique school cards, books and papers...

Medicine bottles and small porcelains, dolls, masks..

and tons of fabrics and ribbons..

but only sold by the yard...

unfortunately I am a claustrophobe 

and with 7 other people in the shop...

I had to make my purchases and get out quickly..

I would have loved to peruse it on my own time!!

I could have spent the day in there...

Next on my list was 

Charvin Paris

a manufacturer of paints.. 

this had long been on my list.. 

and I was wanting a tiny travel paint set...

It was so charming and nostalgic, I felt as though

Monet could walk in in any moment..

the smocks were so evocative of times gone past..

I ended up purchasing

a small travel paint box and got to choose my colors..

which was one reason I wanted the box, to have my personalized set..

If you go, make sure to ask..

we ended up strolling

together and I took some shots for you of the beauty of 

Paris..

Notre Dame

and the 

Louvre

below 

and as you can see the weather was moody

and chilly...

but the 

Tuileries 

was still beautiful...

even though so many flowers were spent..

and the cold north wind did blow..

You know me, I can find beauty..

wherever we go..

and if you go,

I know you will find it too...

no matter the season..

See you on Friday

with a new video..

I will be finishing and flipping through my travel journal..

C4N!!
