Regrets, I've Had A Few

Was I crazy?
I just can't believe I didn't buy this necklace! I saw it in April of last year but bought others in the display case...now I am regretting not buying this one. I will return to this Paris shop very soon! I think I would have made a mold of the heart. I am smacking myself.

The Cute Vietnam Restaurant

I just love the red and green in this picture. This Vietnamese restaurant in one in a million in Paris. I'll never get tired to photographing them. The overhanging baskets above the sign make me happy. This isn't something I see in my own metropolitan city.

Paris Blues

If I can't be in Paris, I can at least scroll through my thousands of Paris pictures.
I don't recall taking this one.
I am sure though that I was probably attracted to the blue leather elephant.
No that I take a look at the image on my screen I also see that there are some cigarettes you can wear as a brooch. How Paris.

A Good Sale Sign

I wish I could be in Paris for the January sales! I had a really good time last year walking through the stores.

Here is a great example of a sale sign I really liked.

Covered in buttons. So pretty.

Paris in January

I am going down memory lane....and you are coming with me.
Last year at this time I was in Paris.
This is a photo I took of Notre Dame. It was such a gray day, but this burgundy plant interjected all the colour I needed.

What I Am Craving

I could enjoy one of these right now. I only ever see them in bakeries in Paris.
But if I saw one here...I wouldn't get to have one anyway. Post Christmas diet is on.
So I will enjoy this picture instead.

Street Art In Paris

You never know what you will stumble across on the streets of Paris.
There is so much art for sale.

I wonder how these two pieces ended up with this vendor.

Now that I have enlarged the images I wish I had taken a closer look. The unique attachment technique gives me all sorts of inspiration.

Paris Antique Market Photo

Another piece of artwork I would have bought if:
1. It fit in my luggage.
2. I trusted Fed Ex to bring it to Canada safely.
3. My favorite. I would have bought this if I lived in Paris.
