I have stacks just like this in my garage and studio. I think I bought every old photo and piece of paper ephemera I could find at the flea markets both here and on my first trip to the French countryside. Now to find one in Paris.. like I really need to add more to my piles. Of course "need" has nothing to do with the collecting disease.
Peter, I think she might have "pack rat" issues. Don't let her buy ANYTHING!
Karen, The word "need" is not in my shopping vocabulary either. However, I didn't buy a thing here! Quelle surprise! It was great fun just looking, however.
Adrian, You wouldn't believe the LP's in my basement. I know they are unplayable now, not that I have a turntable any longer, but I can't part with them. They are priceless ones from the 60's!!!! There's a bar here that is covering their tables with the top portion of old LP's then putting a polyurethane coating on them. I'll take pictures when they're done. Neat idea!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

I have a feeling that I will show Karen the way soon! :-)
