Paris Flea Markets

Headed off to the Porte de Clignancourt flea markets while in Paris. Picked up some items for home and enjoyed looking around at all the vintage and quirky items available.

I leave my husband with the camera and end up with a photo of a planet of the apes chimp in a space suit, next to a large stainless steel shark (you can just see the tail) suspended from the ceiling. Told you there were some quirky items.

That's me shopping for vintage Chanel - lots of bags and jewellery.

Amazing stalls full of beads, trims and tassels.

Wish we had something like this closer to home.

Sweet Tooth

Laduree is a french institution -think of all the glorious cakes from the Marie Antoinette movie and look at the window displays and packaging. Who can resist?

I love macaroons and where better than to fulfill this guilty pleasure than Laduree. To many divine flavours to choose from so we settled for chocolate, lemon, coffee, licorice and orange blossom. They melted in the mouth......

Paris - Lourve

Some snaps inside and outside the Lourve - topped off with dinner at Cafe Marly, with a wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower as the sun set.
