Paris is on my mind because I have two friends in Paris right now and have been receiving emails and photos on a daily basis. Admittedly, I am a little jealous. I would love to be there seeing the sights and eating wonderful food.
But, I have Paris all around me...I am a gatherer..... I gather things as I travel and fill my home with memories of my journeys.
My Murano chandelier purchased at the Marche Puces (flea market) that I held through three flights to keep it safe....
Even the "kitschy" things , like the reproduction clocks I bought in a tourist shop...
Paris is all around me...in the sepia engravings I purchased at the Louvre...
and even the small sugar collection in my kitchen! I will board a flight ...in time...to go back, but for now, I am content to stay home and enjoy my part of Paris.
I have never been to Paris but judging from the pictures here, I think I ought to! XO

ReplyDeleteLovely treasures Theresa. I used to collect those Paul sugar lumps to bring home for my hairdresser.
Theresa, a cruise on the Seine sounds nice right now...sigh. In the first posted pic., is everyone wearing coats? Sept. might be one of the best times to be in Paris. Now I am jealous along with you.
ReplyDeleteAll the pictures posted are mine. The first shot was taken in Feb. sorry, just need a sweater ths week in Paris!
ReplyDeleteSorry Helen....had to post your comment through me. was on my iPad and hit the delete button instead of post.
ReplyDeleteDear Theresa, These are such lovely vignettes and wonderful photographs. Wish I could take you with me...will be in Paris in two weeks.
ReplyDeleteNo worries Gina....I will find my way back ...in time!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the photographs and having a peek at your wonderful surroundings. Do I detect some items from Il Papiro, too?
ReplyDeleteGood eye Mark! Yes, that would be another post to touch on all of the things I have from Italy!
ReplyDeleteI too would always rather be in Paris! I keep a clock in my studio set to Paris time just so every now and then I can look up and remind myself what I would be doing at that moment if I was there. lol
ReplyDeleteThank you for the little tour!
