Oodles of Goodies

Why do things just piled on a table to so inviting?  This booth at our local antique market was great.  I wanted to get everything- aqua glass, rusty and peely perfection.

Tulleries

It was a glorious day strolling in the Tulleries from the Orangerie to the Musee des Arts Decoratifs fabulous restaurant, Le Saut du Loup.  The flowers were at their best and it wasn't muggy, sticky, humid!  Have you dined outdoors there?  It's a fun spot to people watch.

Home Away From Home

Duchess and I try to stay here when we come to Paris for our shopping trips and tours.  It's is a large secluded square in the heart of the city with everything right outside our door.  Some of the shops change hands but the restaurants remain some of the most famous in Paris.  If you follow this down to the end of the square and pass through the large archway you'll find the restaurant made famous by Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson in the movie "Something's Gotta Give".
Do you know this square?

Parc Monceau

After touring a new museum I'll tell you about in another post, we wanderedl through Parc Monceau which was just around the corner.  We had not been there before and it was charming.  It is surround by magnificent mansions and we imagined the lives of these people secluded behind the lace curtains and fabulous passementeries.  After enjoying the sunlight and flowers we decided to find an exit.  Imagine our surprise as we turned a corner to see the Arc de Triompe down the street!

Cat Walk

We were enjoying the magician's show on the bridge behind Notre Dame to the Ile St Louis when I noticed this wowan walking behind him.  The cigarette and all black outfit was so french.  Then I saw she was taking her cat for a stroll on a leash- c'est perfect!
p.s.- It was a very warm late afternoon but she was fully clothed in black ;-)

Altar Piece

By chance we were passing this church when we noticed a sign telling of the Oxford Choir preforming in less than 15 minutes.  We scurried inside and sat to wait for the choir.  We had never stepped inside this austere church but the inside was glorious! The three angels straining to encircle the Madonna looked so real it was hard to believe they were stone.  It was very dynamic and powerful.  The choir was just as heavenly!  Do you know where we were?
