More Paris Pretties

Here are some random pics I took in Paris.

Enjoy the eye candy..............................

Wasn't that sweet?

Paris Flea Markets.........SWEET

I knew the Paris Flea Markets would be sweet...........................


Just didn't realize how totally sweet!

As soon as I started to focus my camera on this beautiful shop with ivy, this lady came out and stood for the picture.

Can you believe all this?!?!

My dream job would be a decorator that shops the Paris fleas to find the perfect treasures to display and use.

The first market we went to was Clignancourt, which is on the north side of Paris. Luckily the subway got us there just fine.

.....no getting lost on this day!

There is all kinds of stuff there and thank goodness it didn't take us long to find the vintage/antique stuff. OMG..........this is such amazing stuff

........the most amazing stuff you've ever seen!
The other flea market we went to was Porte de Vanves. I highly recommend this one too. Very friendly vendors and lots of nice items.

The Marche aux Puces is a definite on any Paris itinerary.

French Lavender

We loved taking the TGV (fast train) from Paris to Avignon for a day excursion to see the lavender fields in Provence.

The sunflower fields were still in bloom also so that was an added bonus.

As soon as the door to our tour van opened we could smell the lovely fresh Lavender...............We could hear the bees buzzing too.......................such happy bees I'm sure!A natural French quilt of lavender and green.

France has been experiencing the cooler temps this summer just as we have here in Indiana so that has extended their growing season a little. Lucky for us to see the sunflowers too!

This Lavender field has just been harvested the day before we arrived. They leave the bundles in the field to dry. Would have loved to see the harvesters in action.

The Lavender fields in France are a must see. I'm so happy to have experienced the sight and being surrounded by the frangrance of my favorite herb.

Next see the amazing Paris Flea Markets.
