About Me

- 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.
Paris je t'aime
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.

Virginia! How did I not go there? Perhaps it was for the best, in light of my bead obsession! The second photo is my fave.
I really like the second image of all the glass bottles... well seen and clean shot.
Happy Sunday to you.
Thank you, V! What great photos. My next trip to Paris will be with my brother and sister-in-law (bead aficionado extraordinaire)—I just can't wait to take her to this inspiring shop. (And I'll bet Genie will be dreaming of this place until she gets back to Paris!)
Delicious photos! (At first I thought they were candy.)
Oh my word..I adore all the fittings in the shop, all those little cubes in wood. Your second photograph reminds me of the Sweetie shops we had when we were children.
I love shops like this one
Darling shot!!! Made me smile...instantly!!!!
I'm always looking for accessories to make jewelry. I think I'll need to visit this place - it looks as though it contains everything I'll ever need.
