Paris en deux parties (Paris in two parts)

Today I wanted to capture two sides of Paris... sadly not from personal experience, but how I imagine it to be.  See, ever since I can remember I've dreamed of traveling to Paris, France and living there for a year or more.  My daughter has picked up the dream and we often talk about riding Vespas along the streets; a baguette, croissants and sketchbooks tucked in our knapsacks.  Someday I hope we will make it there together and live our dream, but for today these inspirations will do.

Yes, all the pictures and stories of France do sound like a wonderful dream. I hope you will be able to live out that dream someday soon. I would really like to read that book "Paris made by hand" since seeing it on Holly's blog also.

I dream to go to Paris as well, some day for all of us. :>)

I think you captured the French style quite well...and I have found some new favorites in your links. Hope you get your chance to see Paris. I am a confessed Francophile, and last spring was able to visit France for the first time. Loved it, and would go back again.

I was lucky enough to go to Paris many years ago. It was amazing, I've been trying to get back ever since. Thank you for the beautiful inspiration.

Thank you so much for including my photo in this lovely group!(After a few days in Paris, I think I could not imagine going back for less than a year. There is just so much to experience, and leaving is so hard.)May all your dreams come true!

I absolutely love the things you put together for your collages, Ez! Very inspiring and feminine. Thanks. :)

[Susan]

Oh this page was Oh So Fab! Thank you for the Parisian Pick Me Up. Does anyone know how much the Breakfast at Tiffany's frock sales for?

Besos!

Hi there. Just stumbled across your blog... This is such a lovely post. I've been to Paris a few times but I think (whisper it) I prefer your interpretation of Paris (it's like just all the good bits!). Hope you get there one day x

[Liberty Post Editor]

I just can't find the words to express my gratitude...so I will simply say..Thank You..for featuring my Sensual Paris Dream III.

[Amy Nieto]

AH. My dream as well. Or at least 3 months in Paris... 3 more months in barcelona, 3 more in NYC, 3 somewhere in Scandinavia, 3 more in Tokyo... you get the jist. :) I hope you and your little darling achieve this dream (maybe we'll be flat neighbors, yay!)
