hi carol... i love bryant park and have never seen it more wonderful... thank you for posting these... happy new year... blessings to you in 2010! x pam
The ice skating looks like so much fun. Have you ever done anything on the TAVERN ON THE GREEN? I saw on GMA this morning that they are closing down for good. How sad. I think it was so beautiful.Seventy five years of history there.
Thanks for posting a photo of that lovely Art Deco gas station. It was much appreciated. I also got a friend to subscribe to your blog after she was lamenting the loss of Christmas windows in the stores of San Francisco. Cheers, Stephan
Cris I hope to go to the auction for TOTG..ahem I have attented events there a long time ago but i don't plan to ring in the new decade at Tavern No way
When I lived in NYC, Bryant Park was another "Needle Park." ... A lot of nodding out on park benches. Since it shares my last name, I'm all the more delighted to note its transformation. And skating mskes it even more terrific!! I love the Paris shots, enjoy the photography and the comments, but this one inspired me to write. J Bryant
Dear Carol, I'm new to your blog, and I ADORE IT. Your watercolours are STUNNING. I have been stalking it all night long lol ...then I went to Paris, yes all by myself lol and stopped for the Macaroons. Now I'm hooked also. Another beautiful indulgence for the palette. I love N.Y. but Paris seems to be calling my name again. We were there in 1988 and again in 90'...so it's been awhile. I will be looking around a little bit more tomorrow. You have some great suggestions. I have "featured" you on my New Year's post, but would love to feature you on Monday on my "favourite of the week. I hope you like it. Happy New Year Carol. Love Claudie xoxoxo P.S. I'm in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada..only a 9 hour car ride to N.Y. That's why we go so often. Oh and our fave eatery "tavern on the green" is now closed... : ( xoxoxox
Bonjour ! I’m Carol Gillott, a former NYer living on Île Saint-Louis in a 21 meter chambre de bonne. As a Paris blogger, travel writer, watercolorist, and photographer, I share my latest escapades so you can walk around the city vicariously in my shoes. To experience even more of the Parisian life, sign up to receive my beautifully Illustrated monthly letters where I paint the Paris your dreams and mail them
to you wherever you are. You can order these letters, along with my art prints, at my Etsy shop.
Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…
Beautiful post!! Happy new year!!
