The Sofa Toters
This is the third photo in what has become a little Toter Series ( and I didn't even try to translate that into French.) The first some of you will remember, were the Toliette Toters, then we had the Mattress Toter.
As Mary and I sat sipping our wine after a very long afternoon at Père Lachaise, these three guys paraded right in front of us. There was a Métro just down the street. SURELY they didn't try that!

Deal
In the warmer months, there are always card and chess games going around the pavilions in Luxembourg Gardens. I love watching the men, of different ages and nationalities, share time together doing what they love to do.

Librairie des Archives
Located in the Marais, the outside caught my eye before the book filled interior! It stocks books dedicated to art and artists of the 20th Century. Maybe one day I'll have more time than I did this day, and can step inside for browse.

Le ciel rose
When I tried to warm up this gray photo, look what happened. I"m not a fan of really souped up images but I thought this brought out the pink in sky at sunset.

Bordure, bordure et plus bordure!
I promised more photos of Ultramod Mercerie. Today a little corner crammed full of trims and fringes. I could have stayed there forever. An amazing little shop.

Grand-père et moi
I think this little girl was lucky enough to have her grand-père join her for a spin around the ice rink at the Hôtel de Ville. From the looks of her coat and pants, I think she might have taken a spill or two!

Sunday Church Series - Église du Royale Val-de-Grâce
Built in the middle of the 17th century by Queen Anne of Austria, the monastery was converted into a military hospital adjoining the church after the Revolution. This beautiful Baroque dome, designed by Jacque Lemercier.
The view from our apartment windows, the summer of 2009. I photographed this church in every light. This was right after an afternoon shower.

Le réflexion
You must first understand the pure joy that Mary and I experienced when we looked up from lunch this Sunday and discovered the rain that was forecasted to last ALL DAY, had lifted and the SUN was actually shining for the first time since we had arrived in Paris!!!! We paid the bill and headed out to photograph everything possible under the blue skies. After the Palais Royal, of course the Louvre. Here puddles provided my inspiration for James' Weekend Reflections!

Ultramod Mercerie
Ahhh, Ultramod Mercerie, a photographer's buffet for sure. Mary took me to this treasure trove late one afternoon after a long day, and I was pretty tired, but took one look at the window and perked right up.
The mercerie has every imaginable ribbon, thread, button, trim, fringe etc. stacked to the ceiling. A step back in time to somewhere between 1860-1880. The family finally sold it in 1990. Today I'm fairly certain that it looks very much as it did when they opened. The old wooden drawers and shelves make it even more charming. Across the street is their vintage hat shop. We'll visit it another day.

La technique
Watching the street crepe vendors is fascinating. They've perfected the technique. I think that little paddle helps! Pass the Nutella svp!
