Window Shopping in Paris


 A little window shopping in Paris.
It's easy to get inspired by all the creative displays and 
pretty baubles.




 Ventured inside Le Printemps  and was serenaded 
by this talented string quartet.





       We needed a sweet break after all that walking!

Trop de neige !!!
Je suis d'autant plus déçue en admirant tes superbes images ...

I am excited for our venture too! Anytime you need someone to come to Paris to help you, you know, clean, cook, or better yet, I can be a great personal shopper! Heehee. I can't even imagine what Christmas is like in Paris!!

GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS MIMI! Thank you for taking the time to come and visit with me; my post was just not what I wanted. I feel overwhelmed and I SO WANT THAT QUIET TIME TO PROPERLY GATHER MY THOUGHTS and not feel as if I have to be perfect all the time. But such is life....thank you anyway for making an effort to visit!

LOVE TO YOU AND YOURS, Anita

Blogging makes the world a very small place. I have just returned from Paris after having 10 weeks there....I saw all the wonderful pictures you have just shown...it is a wonderful place to be, but especially nice at this time of the year.

Bonsoir Mimi, how I wish I could join you, it looks so elegant and somehow very inviting. So much better than Oxford Street - which isn't difficult though. I hope you are well and have a chance to relax now. Have a lovely week, Love from (freezing) London xo
