275 ....The last time I saw Paris.....


.....was   November 2011 and my next visit will  be in May 2012   soooooo long .

As always it was " a melange "of  wonderful things to see and enjoy.
A visit to Aurelian Delouze  is essential 

and it was also the Bastille Antiques fair ,full of enchanting objects.


  all the usual culprits !!!



 My new 18th century lampbase with an 18th century document as shade
more 18th century treasures   chez Aurelien.....


enjoying every moment of history and every stitch
painted onto paper - exceptionally rare

my favourite blue


fascinating workmanship
a rather more modern French design!!!
the pockets are lined with white kid and the roses are embroidered perfectly-   HEAVEN pour moi !




exquisite stockings
 a little dolci !
and always time for coffee.



  and wonderful shapes to enjoy.


 this sweet 1930 table was a birthday gift
and this rock crystal  chandelier was made by Alexandre Vossion




one of my passions........



the Marquise dEpigny (1792)and his wife  came to live safely  with me and added to my collection of miniatures

its always possible to find lalique.

who cares if it rains ?

19th century kitchenalia  to display some of my rings
friends at home
back at home and settled in .





Paris in November is beautiful



Clemonceau

something for a gruffalo???

a new Rick Owens jacket !!   beyond my control !

Art is everywhere
Preparing to fly



Vivienne and Merlin

for Merlin xxx
