Sometimes when I'm in Paris, the very special places I like to haunt for photos, often surprise me. It's no secret that le Marais is one of my favorite places to visit, eat, photograph.... even stay. Last January Mary and I took a spin through the Villages St. Paul and found an added delight......a brocante! These linens caught my eye......but not my pocketbook. I''m having second thoughts!

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.

When Vicki had that lovely giveaway recently, provenance must have known you were having second thoughts. I was so happy you won the linen!
Oh, I am drooling all over these. Wish that I was strolling through here today!
Oh my, the linens are gorgeous! I would be having second thoughts too!
Those linens are gorgeous. It depends on how expensive they were to give it second thoughts.
Hard to resist to those linen..The kind of place i love!
One doesn't encounter much lace these days.
Just gorgeous, V! I'll have to come here when I have that apartment in Paris—if I can ever afford the apt., I can probably afford some of this. :~}
The city of eternal temptations !
Now, was there some arsenic nearby ?
What a great photo. I can really get a sense of how delicate the linens are!
So many gorgeous linens, not enough tables! ;-)
Your banner photo is just tremendous, Virginia.
Love love French linens!!!
They are pretty, Virginia. But, a manly guy like me finds it hard working lace into the decor . . .
Beautiful handiwork, Virginia. Wow.
The Marais is also one of my favourite places in Paris. Beautiful linens and I also love the basket/coffer.
Beautiful linens V!!! Lovely shot!
Beautiful, I can't get enough of brocantes and old linens. So full of character.
