crayons de couleur
Merci, the very trendy concept store in the Marais, has the most wonderful displays. Maybe it's the former teacher in me, but I wanted one in every color!

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.

Love all these colors:)
Berit.
This is a beautiful find and well composed image !
At first glance I thought that these were rods of glass rather than pencils. This shot makes me want one of the bright vases stuffed with all the colors -- all sharpened of course!

This photo is just plain pleasing to my senses—of order, of color, of aesthetics—and so beautifully composed! Thanks, V (must check out this store).
Moi aussi -- give me one of each! Gorgeous pencil rainbow.
Yes, please! I'll be outside warming up the Fiat while they ring these up for you, V.
I am SO bummed that I never made it to Merci, especially now seeing this fabulously colorful display you captured. I'll meet you there next trip!
That was my reaction ... I want one of each and I am not a former teacher ..
Jolie! (or should this be masculine?)
Hi Virgina,
I've mentioned you in my latest blog post because I really admire your blog and as part of the "One Lovely Blog Award" I thought of your blog. You can read more about it and your blog on mine.
My all time favorite street in Paris is a little one called the rue Pont Louis-Philippe, off the Marais, where many shops specialize in special pens, papers and blank books for writing. Your photo reminds me I'm due for a trip.
Great shot Virginia with " de très belles couleurs" (with a "u" after "o").
Thanks Laurent, i can't seem to get it altogether at the same time. I count on all of you to keep me on my toes!
V
Okay, V—almost said something, so next time I will.
Moi aussi, je veux bien un crayon de chaque couleur!
Je suis aussi un professeur à la retraite! Mes élèves auraient pu faire de beaux dessins avec ces crayons de couleurs!
I love the way that they display in Merci , lovely shop .. had a good stroll around there last year.
Thank you for your comment, another place for me to visit, no I have not been to Malmaison ..
I need new places to go :-)
