Those of you that know me well, or just know my chat noir Meeps, will know why I stopped here and took a lot of shots. As a matter of fact, I have this very poster!
"The green fairy" is back! One day you should tell about this drink, forbidden because it was making people mad.But all that goes with it (bottles, posters, glasses ..) is very special and beautiful!
Absinthe—better than catnip! And did dear Meeps miss you while you were away? (Believe I will have to do the same, V—what a shame that the stupid spammers make it necessary.)
Your cat and I have something in common...Meeps has been my nickname since I was 2 yrs old! I came across your blog the other day and was amazed to see the name actually in print. My entire family plus some, have called me this for the past 50 plus years. Please give your Meeps a pat on the head for me.
Maryanne, How great! I'll tell Meeps right away. Actually I got her name from Shell Sherree's blog:http://www.shellsherree.com/ A commenter on her blog used that term and I loved it. When I adopted her, I knew it was meant to be her name.
THanks for commenting and I hope you will be back often. If you are on Facebook, I have a photography page and post her photos from time to time. V
There is no way on earth that you could have walked past this poster without snapping it Virginia, I bet Meeps loves it also and thinks it's all about her!
Aaah, it pays to have good bloggers' on the mailing list! Found this on Sherree's blog and noticed that I was abroad when you posted this delightful capture - so double BRAVOS for you and your friend with her lovely water paintings - feel like a Pastis now! (not Absinthe...) bisous, Kiki xoxoxoxo
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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.

DUE TO SPAMMING ON BOTH BLOGS, I REGRET THAT I WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE ANONYMOUS FEATURE FROM MY COMMENTS AGAIN.

Looks like you smuggled dear Meeps to Paris with you for the photo shoot for this poster!
I would have bought that poster too, V. :-)

I believe the thinking is "most people who would drink absinthe are already mad, so what the hell?".
I love the poster! It's quite special. And great shot too. :)
What's a little madness with a sip of Absinthe???
Meeps would prefer catnip...
LOVE this, dear V!! {For all the obvious reasons.} I really would love to try some of the green fairy someday {but will lock it away from Ella}.
Well I never knew it was called the Green Fairy! Meeps and I will stay away from it. I think I"m "mad" enough as it is!

It is a charming poster, Virginia. It probably fits your home just great.

J'adore cette affiche!!!
Gros bisous

I love all this green and that fabulous poster. A Perfect Meep!
Does Meeps like red wine or white? (or only absinthe?)
