A patisserie close to the Bastille


...a souvenir from a few years ago, I wonder whether this patisserie still exists, what a marvellous alibi to plan a long weekend in Paris!

The things we love to keep...


I seem to remember that this cute paper bag contained a couple of yummy croissants bought in a "boulangerie" in Paris quite a few years ago. I used to keep everything,...these days I am in the middle of a massive de-cluttering and I have become more strict when it comes to decide what I need to let go...

I am in the mood to travel...

I blame these beautiful journals I saw a few days ago at the local Waterstones, they are perfect: old prints of the Eiffel Tower, maps and lovely illustrations of plants and butterflies one can encounter while travelling in warmer climates...

At the tearoom-downtown


Granny, (not my real granny), caught me right when I was about to take a photo of her with my cell phone. Until a nano second before I took the photo, she was looking ahead, a perfect and pensive profile. I still wonder whether it would have been a more poignant shot had she not turned to look at me...
