L'artisan Ceinturier - The Workbench


Just inside the doorway, the artisan's workbench. Of course the red bucket of roses was the pièce de résistance!  Only in Paris......

  1. This is just perfect, Virginia, great shot. And the roses... What a nice touch, and an odd number of flowers, of course. As I said, just perfect. I personally miss your "little friend" from last night's picture. What happened to him? ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

  15. This artisan is a man after my own OCD heart—look how neatly everything is arranged, with matching jars of buckles and things! And you're right about the roses. The perfect touch, V.

  19. Oh how fabulous! I laughed out loud when I saw the roses, red too of course! Yes, only, only in Paris. The utilitarian still has to be beautiful!
