Other People's Printemps

Printemp Paris Rose Teapot, watercolor, 9" x 11"

Some people are madly searching for signs of Spring.

Some people have had to look in other people's backyards since Spring is rather reluctant to show up on the East Coast.

I got this glass teapot in Paris at Les Comptoirs Richard and it makes an awfully nice vase in a pinch don't ya think?

Do you know Manon 21?
Well you should! Even though this is an older photo, Manon does divinely poetic French posts.
SVP do drop in.
Heather lives in Paris and has lots of 'Paris Secrets' to tell.
Including that the daffs are out in the parc! Fancy that. Wonder what the French word for daffodil can be?

Watercolorist Sue of A Brush With Color does the best arrangements and these are from her garden. Who is not jealouse?

So far Vienna is neck-in-neck with NYC hanging back in the race to Printemps, but Merisi of Vienna has found flowers on teacups which is nearly as good, well almost.

Yellow roses of Ireland are featured at Harpist Amy and you can hear her play exquisitely to bouquets of roses. *Not to be missed!

Walzing around the Marais (in the days when I could walz) I discovered Vertige on 11, rue de Sevigne 75004.

They specialize in featuring mainly greens.

Don't miss their galerie of greenie photos - simply lush.

Meanwhile artist Ian Sidaway is out sketching in his allotment - Lucky Ian!

Here's what I'd like to be wearing if is were Spring/Printemps.

 Here's what I'd eat whilst wearing the above pink pull - all springie colored macarons.

MIAM!

BONJOUR Other People's SPRING!
