We searched high and low for this little shop in the Marais that I read about in Paris: Made By Hand. Well we found it, but it was closed! All was not lost. This cute purple mitten on the yellow wall pleased me very much. Perhaps the wee one that dropped it will claim it.

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.

Closed? What a surprise.....
That lone thread is a treasure.
Love the color combo. Your post and Laurent's Daily Photo in Paris are all about color today.
Sorry the place was closed, but you made the most of the moment with this colorful shot!
Great capture of interest and color, V! (for a moment I thought you had switched allegiance to LSU)
Enjoyed seeing you albeit too briefly, mon amie!

Not mine !
You ladies really must visit my friend Aimee's tea shop in the 13é. http://loisivethe.com/
I've missed so many incredible photos! Really some of your most impressive work, V. I'm sorry I am so out of touch lately. I hope to be a daily visitor once again very soon.
A typical example of what your eyes are able to catch! Bravo, bravo!!!
Peter,
How could I have passed this up! Trés belle n'est-ce pas? :)

Starman,
You've been holding out on us. Of course the next trip we must go there. Love the site.

Sometimes we find something other than what we are looking for... the spice of life... the purple mitten of joy...
