I have to say of the three days I spent in Paris, the last was my favorite! I am not sure if it was the shopping, great food, or the non stop joy and laughter while experiencing all that Paris has to offer. Shopping on the Avenue des Champs Elysées Day 3 in Paris.

May Day, May Day Day 2 in Paris
Our apartment was located in a section of Paris often referred to as “La Jungle”. It was disheartening to see the gang activity of tagging (spray painted markings) appearing on several lovely old buildings.

The constant stream of unmuffled motorcycles right outside my window however had other ideas. I did ... View the Post
April in Paris Day 1
April in Paris Day 1. While it’s true that I arrived in the City of Light on the last day of the month, I still feel I can claim this joy. Ah, a moment to reflect~ followed by happy sighs.

A Great Find For My French Chairs and More
I have been looking for some new chair pads for my antique French bentwood café chairs for awhile. Most cushions left me feeling a bit like Goldilocks~too large, too hard, too thin, too something…. Then finally A Great Find For My French Chairs and More. I finally found some linen pads from Wisteria that work fairly well. When I purchased them they were on sale for $13. (A steal!) I see they are now back to $19. Compared to other companies that is still a good price. A Great Find For My French ... View the Post
