Window shopping in Paris is one of my favorite pastimes , but during the holiday season it's even more spectacular. Even the smallest shops, like this on in Galerie Vivienne, is a delight. My friends Mary and Mary couldn't resist.

Much time wasting has been known to happen as I stand transfixed at this spectacular time of year in Paris!!! Virginia have a wonderful wonderful Christmas with family and friends and lets hope we can catch up in Jan if schedules permit. Carla x
Astrid was a window dresser in her day, Virginia, so when we went to the Christmas market in Düsseldorf a week ago, she just HAD to see the windows on Königsallee, the big shopping street. Very festive, indeed!
Des lumières plein les yeux... En cette période de l'année les vitrines sont tellement féeriques... Une part de rêve dans chacune d'elles... Et du rêve aussi grâce à votre photo ma chère Virginie. Gros bisous

Yes, Virginia, this is a wonderful time of the year for window shopping. Some people even go inside and buy stuff, I have heard! Your photo today is, as always, well done.
"My friends Mary and Mary" This so reminded me of the Bob Newhart Show (maybe before your time) in which one of the characters introduced his brothers as "this is y brother Darrel and this is my other brother, Darrel".
Un petit plaisir qui ne coûte rien.

Oh your making me feel all goosey Virginia!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an art and they do it so well in Paris at Christmas.
I love the flower shops most of all, and especially the fragrance and displays that invite one to step inside out of the cold - sheer magic!
Joyeux Noel to you and your family Virginia at this most wonderful of all seasons.
