Just a quickie....

to say I've just had the most wonderful time in Paris ......................





virtually, that is.



I came across this wonderful blog this evening whilst waiting for the dinner to cook, and it reminded me what a magical city Paris is, an exciting feast for the senses, and made me yearn to visit again 









and, like Heather, with my daughter this time


and when I go I shall be sure to spend some time on this website and blog before I go, to get the low down on where to go and what to see.


My last trip there was before Bella was born, and I went with my husband one cold November.



We had a wonderful time seeing some of the sights - the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Musee d' Orsay, Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur and many other wonderful sights, but my outstanding memory of our last visit was of seeing Paris by night, sitting on the open deck of a bateau mouche whilst soft flakes of snow gently fell


it was magic.

    Lovely images, Gill. I love Paris too, and have been a few times...the last was to celebrate an anniversary and a street artist in Montmartre drew my portrait in pastels, whcih is now on our wall and makes a wonderful keepsake (it was a flattering one fortunately!) I hope you have a lovely time when you go to Paris, and thank your for sharing these evocative images.
    Have a great week.

    Thanks for visiting my blog! I just love your blog and all the beautiful things you are making! I also buy lots of old/used/vintage textiles from flea markets and then use them to make new things. Though, the last months I haven't been sewing anything, I have only been knitting...

    Oh that's really made me want to go to Paris. I went about 15 years ago with uni friends and had an amazing time. I'd love to go back again. Cities are just so expensive to visit though.
