Yesterday 75002

 

Yesterday I had to go to Centre des finances publiques for a copy of my 2023 taxe d’habitation form, which I couldn’t find anywhere at home (same ole, same ole). Turns out we no longer pay the annual 400€ taxe d’habitation 🍾🤸‍♂️

Feeling great relief (and since I was near Galerie Vivienne) I thought I’d take a stroll.

Fete de la Coquille Saint-Jacques à Montmartre 2024

Packaging Paris

 

They were giving away this beautiful bag yesterday. I wish I’d taken one 

At Packaging Paris at Porte de Versailles. Yes, we had light snowflakes ❄️ gone by noon.

Rougier & Plié, materials des beaux arts

Last night I made myself go to the art store, even though it was dark outside. In cold weather, hibernation sets in. Too many Bears 🧸  🐻 hanging around.

Once outside, it feels great. Does that happen to you? Paris at night is well worth exploring.

Tuesday was the 1st day of the big Winter Sales/Soldé.

Snow ❄️

 

We got a little snow last night around 11:00pm Little Bear 🧸 is thrilled
