A Wonderful Weekend in Paris..and the Yogurt Cups...

aren't these doors amazing?

are weekend was pretty amazing too.

just like back in the states..

we kick off our weekend

with friday night pizza.

i didn't ship my pizza stone

but a cookie sheet works just fine.

cheese for the little kids

and the works for steve and hannah

and i.

carmelized onions, artichokes, capers

mozzarella and feta.

yum.

saturday i got up early and

went to the flea market 

all by myself.

such a treat.

the porte de vanves

flea market is my favorite.

yes..the one up in clignacourt

is HUGE and has

charming, winding alley's

to walk while you shop..

but this one you can 

find treasures.

there isn't much furniture here..

lots of great little finds..

at decent prices.

look at those lampshades! 

i LOVED this booth.

the owner was so sweet

and spoke english 

quite well.

i'll be back to her booth 

for sure.

any weekend that involves

flea marketing 

is a good one in my book.

sunday morning

steve flew to barcelona

and the kids and

i headed out for a day

in paris.

we started at the museum

of natural history.

we had such a great time here!

it's a beautiful museum

with so much to see.

after a few hours there

we walked to Shakespeare and Co.

we spent an hour here..

sitting upstairs on the little

couch reading books.

(heading upstairs at the bookstore..

forgot that there are no photos here)

we each picked out a book..

for me..

Peter Mayle's 

A Year in Provence.

can't believe i've never read it.

from there we walked

around the latin quarter..

and got some dinner.

after dinner..

we walked along 

the seine

and visited the booksellers.

the  new bells of notre dame

were ringing and 

it was a beautiful evening.

i bought some old sheet music..

and this map of paris..

(the top right one)

heading home on the metro 

after a great day

(although we missed steve

and stephen).

the view out my window.

bonne nuit paris.

it was a great weekend.

****

so i can't sell the yogurt cups

on etsy.

they're not vintage, handmade 

or a craft supply.

i guess if some of you

still really want them

we could work something

out.
