I have made a note.<br /><br />Please also add me to the list of folks who've got some vintage J Peterman stuff still operational. I also have some friends who worked for the company when they had a brief stay in NYC. It's grand to know that the website still breathes, with wit, too.<br /><br />Your prior post's evening video walk exploring intriguing Parisian rues was quite good. I hope that you will be including more of these quick views.<br /><br />Before this comment gets too much longer, I'd also like to compliment your latest drawing and painting. Wonderful to know that you are finding time to create these witty beauties.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-39131599989281361882013-05-08T19:33:26.210-04:002013-05-08T19:33:26.210-04:00I love your sketches and photos.

Makes me want to pack my bags right now & get on a plane. :D I'll be adding Vivian's books to my Kindle pronto, They'll be joining the Cara Black's "Aimee Leduc" books that I'm working my way through! Like Merisi, I nearly fell off my chair when I saw that J.Peterman tunic! I was like "Wow" that IS a vintage blouse because I thought Peterman's went out of business long ago. I did a little research to find them and while I had their website up on my laptop, the DH saw it & asked the same question, "J.Peterman's? I thought they were out of business!" He still has the baseball jacket we bought from them in the late 80s!<br />OFD: excellent rule to live by! :DRoxanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13172195986690716353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-90858268474693340322013-05-08T09:47:37.013-04:002013-05-08T09:47:37.013-04:00Tell me a out it!

A...That sounds fabulous, you and Viviane in Paris! <br />And your little aside of "J. Peterman" almost made me fall off the chair!. Here I am, somehow left in the believe that the company has gone under years ago! How could that ever happen? Peterman's was one of the few catalogues I actually leafed through as soon as I found it in my mailbox!<br />So, thank you for the good news. :-)<br /><br />Those little Belgian-type spice cookies wrapped in cellophane are also often on Viennese coffee trays, just like the complementary glass of water. Sometimes instead of the cookie a small piece of foil-wrapped chocolate accompanies the coffee. I used to appreciate the offering when i lusted after something sweet yet did not want to eat a whole pastry. Generally, I adhere to the "OFD" - Only Fabulous Desserts - principle. <br /><br /> Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-7261465725112008952013-05-08T01:31:28.341-04:002013-05-08T01:31:28.341-04:00Absolutely!
