January letter, Paris trash, weather, bears, Wires
This Eiffel tower doodle that got the January letter going. Tuesday I went to rue de Rivoli (take bus 75 these days) to find envelope fillers. I used to collect PARIS TRASH for kicks.
Now its part of my job description.
1st stop browse Angelina. I was thinking the mini galettes would make good painting subject matter, but within 10 minutes gone and a mess of flakey crumbs down my front to prove it. So much for painting subject matter.
Angelina's galette des rois feves are irresistible.
Fortunately I succumbed 2 years ago.
The Laduree Thé et Beauté shop at 232 rue de Rivoli has more than tea and candles.
I succumbed to their washi tape happily sealing January's envelopes.
The weather this week in Paris is mid 40s to mid 50s. Overcast with occasional drizzle and brief intermittent hints of sun. The Greve/strike is still on so to catch a metro join the work crush before 9:30 or jump on a bus (the back door is best entry these days).
There are big bears in Paris windows during the holidays.
Please consider saving the koala bears (really marsupials) and other animals at risk in Australia from the rampant bushfires. For 30 years WIRES the wildlife emergency fund has been training people to go into the field and rescue animals. I'm donating the proceeds from these 2 watercolors on Etsy to WIRES. Praying for Australia 🙏🏻❤️XXX🐻

So much temptation all around you, Carol! Galettes, fèves, Paris “junk”... Hope the grève ends soon.
ReplyDeleteYes I am surroundedand as someone who can not resist eating the marshmallow or anything else left in plain sight its a constant losing, delicious battle.
DeleteOn guard you
Thank you for the WIRES link, Carol.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. WIRES is on the ground saving lives. On the NYTimes aid for Australia list too.
DeleteThank you for info on WIRES. I am deeply disturbed about Australia's animals.
ReplyDeleteAnd you little scavenger, you! Just sayin'-- eating the subject before it is sketched is not productive! Tasty, but not productive!
Oh it happens all the time 😳 malheursement
DeleteThose feves are irresitible and that Washi tape is an asolute necessity -wish I could find it here.
ReplyDeleteYou should be able..its made in Japan by MARK'S Inc.
