………………
On Sunday, after painting blue & yellows all week, I took a break at Montmartre annual Fete de la Coquille St.Jacques festival at Abbesses. No, I did not climb up 144 metro steps. Instead I got off at Pigalle and climbed up the big hill.
And a bowl of soupe de poisson (2,50€) as always/comme d’habitude.
Yes, when I see vanilla anything, I have to try it
Les Primeurs (fruit & veg stands) have extra special displays in Montmartre - berry boxes stacked on bottles!?
I kept seeing blue + yellow in the windows, on streetwear, on Christophe RousselMacarons…is it me?
I painted more blue n’ yellows in case you missed out first round. 50% goes to WHO (until March 31). 🌻Happy Printemps dear PBers🌻
A fantastic blog, and full of so much delicious looking food, as well as fun. Congrats to you, Carol, for your ongoing creativity and reliable Paris source. Wish I was there!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful Sunday for sure. Sun, food, families . Love the photo of Mom & daughter with coordinating colors.

My kind of Sunday - eating oysters, lobster bisque, vanilla ice cream and those beautiful looking strawberries. Thank you, Carol, for adding a bright spot in my day.
ReplyDeleteThat's fabulous, Carol. I went to the etsy site -- not a blue or yellow to be found. Teach me not to read things early enough! That was lovely and generous. And all that blue and yellow in Paris makes me smile. Big.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to help the people of Ukraine, Carol! Your blue & yellow watercolors are gorgeous. I loved seeing your pics of the Montmartre Coquille Festival remembering the time years ago that we went to that festival at your urging. Looks like you are enjoying fabulous spring weather in Paris…wish I was there!
ReplyDeleteLove your street posts, etc. I just rubber stamped 7 royal blue & yellow cards.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your blog by the way! xo
ReplyDeleteIn your photo of the doggie carrier I was fascinated by the young woman with the big hair and white cat-eye glasses. I couldn’t help but notice her. Quite eye catching.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Great way to support Ukraine.❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteBobbye…I noticed her too. There is a famous fashion editor with big hair..Julie Jamois-Sarr.
ReplyDeleteIt could be her or a copy-cat
Are the trays of cream colored ribbons of edible ? Ice cream? Whatever it is looks sweet and refreshing.. Oh, you must get even a petite vanilla something when you spend the day far away, when you have oysters, or paint blues and yellows all day.
ReplyDeleteThat’s how the Italians pile up their gelato 😊
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely time to visit Montmarte again, thank you. ( I can't seem to stop using 'lovely' to describe responses to your paintings.. it's just that 'lovely' somehow encompasses leisurely, breezy, relaxing, entertaining,, clever.)
ReplyDeleteI applaud your generosity Carol! You're a great artist..and this is just heartwarming.♥
ReplyDeleteThat mom and daughter:)Chic chic..
And Montmartre♥
Thank you Monique,
ReplyDeleteIts a small way to help
❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful Carol
ReplyDeleteYour Montmartre pics make me yearn for Paris. ❤️❤️❤️
