I had the honor of meeting these two lovely ladies, Claudia and Claudia!
Multi-talented Claudia on the left of The Paris Apartment website
Her friend Claudia 2 is equally delightful
These two are a whirlwind of energy.
They make a fabulous team as they steer clients through the flea markets and brocantes of Paris.
As soon as you meet them it’s like you’ve known them forever - lots of laughter!
We took in the Yves Saint Laurent exhibit at Le Petit Palais.
It was a gorgeous day, look at that blue sky.
Hard to believe last week we were trudging around in coats and rainhats
The interior is covered with intricate decoration
enormous ceiling paintings
YSL fashion career spanned from 1958 – 2002
Sketches were highlighted onto arched windows
Just a few samples, no photos were allowed inside the exhibit…
Circa 1958
Circa 1983
Merci pour un bon après-midi Claudia & Claudia!
Put a Little Ooh La La in Your Life!

Ciao Mimi,
Wow how spectacular! It sounds like such a wonderful day with wonderful ladies. The building and displays are just amazing, how lucky you are. :) It looks like such a gorgeous day, I can't even imagine how lovely Paris is in the Springtime! :)
It certainly does feel strange to be back here in the States, and feels so odd to have other speaking English to us! ;)

Hello sweet friend...
What a pleasant surprise...to find such a sweet note from you on my Faeries tablescape! Thank you so much for coming by, my friend!
Ohhh my, it does look like you have been having fun! Getting to meet the two Claudias and to visit Le Petit Palais...totally awesome! I remember walking by Le Petit Palais in June of 2005...it was closed due to construction. It truly is a beautiful place...thank you for sharing your photos with us!!!
Well my friend, how have you been and what have you been up to lately? I am getting to ready to redo my master bedroom for the summer season. I am just now in the planning stages...hopefully I will get a post out about it this week. Mimi, it was so nice to see you and to get your sweet note! Thank you, my sweet friend!
Have a wonderful week...

Bonjour Mimi!
It has been too long :(
My apologies!!
How wonderful! You got to play with Claudia of The Paris Apartment. What a special and wonderful treat. I can only imagine how much fun you had. It's so wonderful to actually spend time with a fellow blogger. Isn't it wonderful to cultivate such great friendships like this? There's no better place to do that in either...than PARIS!!
