In the Passage des Panoramas...
Or would you rather have a plate of charcuterie at Da Rosa on rue de Seine?
Chocolat chaud anyone?
A kir at Cafe Indiana..?

farther than if you had not of tried at all".
Keep painting, photoing(?) laughing . . . just be YOU. Your are special.

I call it winter-funk. I spend my time thinking about all the places I'd rather be! Your blog helps me get "my head outa town"!! (to sunnier places!!) :-D
ReplyDeleteI can dream I am at that
ReplyDeletedelecatessen, and people watching. I remember beautifully dressed women. (none FAT)
Strolling the sidewalk with a
bunch of flowers with heads
facing down. French bread
under the arm.
The Art Nouveau street lamps.
Wish I was with you.

waaay too early for winter doldrums. hold it together, find some sunshine - like paris breakfasts......
ReplyDeleteOn your blog today, you should never let people think they can say "garcon." It is totally not done today. Just thought you should know....since you are always telling people how to act in Paris, dress, etc.
ReplyDeleteRick
garcon is old fashion,
ReplyDeletenow is Monsieur
or s'il vous plait ...

Vicki, one of your many ParisBreakfasts followers
I received the two watercolors I purchased from you TODAY! That cured my WD's for now and for the future. Thank you so much and dear readers, if you haven't purchased one of your own, do it now!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your blog.
ReplyDeleteIt brightens up my day and puts me in a good mood no matter what has been going on.
PB relieves the WDs.
I agree with everyone, Paris Breakfasts takes care of my WDs too. I'm and American living in Paris and I think you have a fantastic grasp of how things are done here - I still get confused!
ReplyDeleteI have found that if you are polite when trying to get your point across the French are very patient and kind.
Happy painting Carol!
There is nothing like a "blow your brains out grey" day in Providence :)
ReplyDeleteI love your red arrows (one especially - thanks :)
I've yet to see Glee, but I loved the music....
Carol, you know the Passage des Panoramas!!! (Not that I should be surprised...!). Isn't it a dreamy place? Love those Paris arcades.
ReplyDeleteXO
Michael
PS: I gave you a "Beautiful Blog Award" on my own blog the other day, but then it occurred to me that you've probably received DOZENS of Beautiful Blog Awards already. But enjoy all the same; you deserve it!
Dear Carolg:
ReplyDeleteI am going to Paris next month for two short days and googled: "What should I wear in Paris in winter?" and found your wonderful Blog!!!
Thank you- thank you- MERCI!!!
Sandra
Oh. I can't? *long silence*

How about just plain "Winner"!
And like most Winners, dear Carol,
PB is just that, and an inspiration to so many (obviously) who glong on every day.
Like me.

So, please, please tell us more about the girl in the white dress with the white poodle! Did you just happen upon her? Is she a model taking a break? Is she really French? That picture is priceless -- I'd think you could sell that one (if you know where to find her and gain her permission.) I love your blog, your photos and your paintings.
ReplyDeleteLibbie
OMGosh, I sing this to my kids ALL the time!
