finally!

I'm finally back to blogging! Two trips back to back was a little busy.

I felt that all I did was pack, unpack, reorganize...and repeat.

Now I'm home and happy for the summer.

My daughter & I were in Paris for two incredible weeks.  We had the most wonderful time!

I'd like to share our visit to the Marché aux Puces  (the Paris Flea Market!).

The flea market had everything, from sea shells

to bathtubs,

and bouquets (gorgeous peonies!)

to birdcages.

An architect's table

and an artist's box, stuffed with a well used palette &

stacks of old letters and pictures.

I would have loved that but it was $$$!

Something for everyone

...well, maybe not!

Beautiful produce

antique luggage,

and beautiful couture!

An abundance of mirrors!

Here I am taking one of my 2200 photos (really..2200!)

The shop owners set up early and then played cards.

Look at that red hair!!!

A giant rooster

and a little bull dog!

Piles & piles of books!

My daughter got some wonderful old books for just a few Euros.

I bought a silver ladle, a toast rack & a silver cup.

and, last of all, my mosaic for

Mosaic Monday @ the Little Red House

"chiens at the flea market"

Come visit me again for more Paris pictures to come!

Happy Monday everyone!
