The photographic artwork is by the astonishing Japanese artist Mika Ninagawa. If you’re in the UK, she has a beautiful exhibit at the Oxford Ashmoleon museum.
Walk across Place Vendome and you will see more of Ninagawa’s flowers.
In the Van Cleef and Arpels shop windows at #20-22, setting off their famous Alhambra jewelry.
I was inspired to paint some ‘Alhambra’ necklaces in my shop if you are so inclined.
Should you be, by now in the mood for a heist movie (no jewels involved) you can watch ‘How To Steal A Million’ with Audrey and Peter (lurking in the background).
Instead we went to nearby Nina’s Marie-Antoinette the for a cuppa to recover from seeing so much beauty in one afternoon. The exhibit is on till November 14. Remember to reserve ❤️
🌸Bonne/bon Dimanche dear PBers🌸

ReplyDeleteGetting to ogle Van Cleef & Arpels jewels looks like a fabulous Saturday to me! They truly are works of art. Tea on beautiful china at Nina’s was a fitting conclusion to your day. Lovely.

You always share the most delectable exhibitions or places to see in Paris. If I have the time in between 2 meetings tomorrow, I might go for this exhibit. Thanks Carol!

ReplyDeleteCount me in.
Sally…gold-covered chocolates!
ReplyDeleteYou can eat the gold leaf.
We’re talking Marie-Antoinette here!
What a delightful day - beautiful jewelry and pictures and tea with candy & chocolate. I will never get enough of that view of the Seine - it's always so beautiful, nothing compares to the blue skies and white clouds in Paris.
ReplyDeleteThank you Suki. Paris skies are ever changeable
ReplyDeleteYou never know what to expect. Poetry in motion.
The Seine isn't bad either
I inspired by your recent wonderful envelopes ... as my mother use to say "we got good mail today" ... what fun to learn about the special ink Audrey used ... wishing you a good Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWhen the film “How to Steal a Million” was being filmed, I was a child living in Paris with my family. My mother attended a fashion show where Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly sat across from each other. My little sister and I never tired of that story.
ReplyDeleteThe film brings back so many memories of our visits around Paris.
Thank you for you story today.
"How to steal a million" is one of our favourite films - thank you for reminding me of it!
