My dear and faithful blog friend Véronique, French Girl in Seattle, is my inspiration today. My French Life featured some of my Christmas windows this week, and she commented that tlast year there were some delightful windows at Printemps with little Coco Chanel dolls. As luck would have it.........voilá!!! I'd been saving this adorable window for just the right time. Ma chère Véronique... pour toi!

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.

Wow! They do look amazing!
My gosh they know how to do it, don't they. Both whimsical and elegant. And I can't quite tell if the paper is cut or painted - I'm leaning towards painted - but it's lovely work either way.
Ces poupées sont si ravissantes... J'aimerais bien en avoir une avec moi dans ma dollhouse...
Une très jolie décoration de noël...
Je te fais de gros bisous
Je me suis rendue sur "fille française à Seattle... Les décorations sont très surprenantes et tellement atypiques...
Merci pour ce beau partage.
Bisous
My dear Virginia, merci beaucoup ;-) I just came home and found this post... You made my evening and I can now tuck in for the night, my head full of miniature Mademoiselles ;-) Coco Chanel has her own special category on my blog, as you know, and I am thinking my next dog, a French bulldog, will HAVE to be named
"Coco." See how perfect this post was? Hugs to you! Joyeux Noël! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
I wonder what Coco's reaction to these dolls would be?
I'll try to sew one of those dolls , they're too funny!
J'adore Coco and these dolls are just too adorable! Love this window display and your photo of it.
Just magical and so recognizable.
Happy Christmas and thank you for your support and frendship

It's going to be a great day - I heard ma chere Edith Piaf singing on your blog and saw Coco Chanel through your blog window!
Merci mille fois, chere V de B!
Bon journee 'a toi aussi
So chic .. I would love one of those .. a girl is never too old for a doll .. especially one dressed in Chanel!
The Coco Chanel dolls are too chic for words, how cute are the little hats. Gorgeous window display Virginia.
These dolls are adorable! Printemps and Galeries Lafayette must start working on window displays in January! What talented folks. Perfect photo for the season. And Jaques Brel singing in the background.....Joyeux Noel!
Popped over to see those windows, love them! Christmas windows are so much fun... when i lived in san francisco, i always loved browsing union square during the holidays. Gumps was esp cool. Happy Holidays!
Tres Chic!!!
Trés chic, mais pas de Noël.
This is delightful. All in beige, and interest in the foreground, center and background. Keep on like this and one of these days you will have photography all figured out.
I want one
They had these dolls in the Chanel window in Monte Carlo last year, V. Like you I couldn't resist photographing them.
