Paris duo!

Krumpet & I dream of returning soon to Paris. Just had new passport pics taken, the 1st step correct?

Do you find that you did not like your current passport photo until you get a new one, then you want the old one back?

Well, Krumpet did not really accompany me when I have visited France,

 but this time, he will!

Cafes galore on the schedule, a bowl of water for le chein, merci.

Naturally we will EAT CAKE!

and wear scarves!

thanks for visiting!

Paris Views

Can you see it, yes that tall thing?

Can you see it again? Right there above !

ummm..

Friends, I have to say how fortunate I am that have viewed

The Eiffel Tower in Paris

from below looking up

(pics from my Paris trip)

from the middle-

had this taken of me while going up the tower,

here almost midway...

and shot breathtaking views from

from the VERY TOP
of the Tower!

in all four directions...

I have even viewed it
lit up on a Saturday night from the balcony of my rented

PARIS APARTMENT!

but was I surprised when I saw it in
MY TEA CUP!

While sipping the last drop of my Earl Grey,
leisurely enjoying a pot of tea in the local cafe
I noticed
the tea leaves had formed the shape of the
Eiffel Tower
Can you see it?

Oh, good!

Merci

Linking up to White Wednesday at Faded Charm

enjoy...

Paris Flea Market Visit

Oh, she sighs, what decisions. Shall she purchase the Victorian passementerie or the vintage vegetable garden print? Hungry after her excursion at the Paris Flea Market on such a lovely Saturday in Paris she must have a bite to eat in order to forge on to more antique stalls.

Café Paul Bert, conveniently located near her favorite market Marche Serpette, will do quite nicely. She cannot help but think how wonderful the red and tan bistro chairs would look in her homestead kitchen. Yes, a bowl of hot onion soup will be perfect , then more shopping. Please enjoy pictures from my Paris trip, I would love to be there now…..

Angelina in Paris

Missing Paris.
Strolling along the streets of Paris, it draws you in.

The awning the color of rich chocolate, the diamond shaped insignia in the marbled tile entrance way announces "ANGELINA".

A peak in the window provides a glimpse of the glorious cafe' and chocolate shop. Could you have resisted? The food, the aromas and the decor did not disappoint. Enjoy the view from my gold gilded chocolate brown leather chair...

Cafe in Paris

As spring approaches I cannot help reminiscing about my trip to Paris. Oh, the cafes, the art, the food! Can you imagine dining in this Parisian café? It was as charming as it appears. I can still taste the escargot, more wine please!
