Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…

Rain or shine, if you are going to rub shoulders with the famous Annie Leibovitz one must go! I loved looking at the way lives are lived in homes across the world🌎. Bon Marche being a favorite of mine did not disappoint with its collaboration. I would buy a literary carry all sac and those cute yellow library card socks. As always, thank you Carol for taking us along. 🗼❤️
ReplyDeleteYes, the individual backstories are fascinating Daina.
DeleteI think the project was an eye 👁️ opener for her as well.
Leibovitz was not on sight to greet us 👋
Nice post
ReplyDeleteWhat a bizarre and unique spin from ikea. Kudos to you for finding and reporting on the creative corners of our croissant .. I mean world
ReplyDelete👍😀 my job description
DeleteLibrary card nostalgia. I give it 5 stars!
ReplyDeleteI noticed she was absent.. She has been offering masterclass phtography classes in the past on social media.Extremely talented eye for photography:)
ReplyDeleteShe has big bills
DeleteWell, Annie Leibovitz is phenomenal, but I do like your photography very much too. Even though you are taking shots on the fly, your angles and compositions are always very pleasing, and you often manage to capture very interesting people too. I particularly like your photo of the pedestrian street with all the red storefronts at the top of the post. Is that a portion of rue de Lappe as well?
ReplyDeleteI agree! I also love your photography Carol. You capture the feel of daily life in Paris, as magnificent as the city is, your depictions of people and daily activities are unique, informative, and always so much fun!
DeleteHi Carol ❤️. It’s Suzy, from very French Grosse Pointe, Michigan. YOUR home in Paris would have been the most interesting place of all for Annie L. to photograph! Totally authentic, and you manage to create so many beautiful things in a small space 👍👍. Always love, love your posts, and your paintings are all over our home!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!
DeleteNo way José 😵💫 chaos reigns supreme here 🙄
DeleteI totally agree! I'm so jealous of your space. It's YOURS!
DeleteHow fun, on a rainy day or any day, to see an Annie Leibovitz exhibit. Yay on IKEA for sponsoring it. Such an interesting topic…people at home. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove your rainy-day-in-Paris watercolor…and as always your interesting, informative photos.
Well IKEA is all about homes. Who doesn’t have something from IKEA in their home? Rich folks.
DeleteI love those columns with the books on them. That would be a great idea for a home that is stuck having big support beams like that! The exhibit looks fabulous. I sure haven't seen those great blue bottles and pots at my IKEA -- maybe time for another visit!
ReplyDeleteA Dutch design group did them so you maynot see them at yr local Ikea…
DeleteLoved this post Carol. Fascinating exhibits. I agree with so many others that your photography is wonderful. You do capture Paris so well. I appreciate your sharing it with us and of course your paintings are so special. I would have loved going to both these exhibits.
ReplyDeleteThank you Suzanne P. ❤️

ReplyDeleteLove the fun of the Bon Marche/Jean Jullien collaboration - those tables and chairs are great. The Seine looks exceptionally high.
ReplyDeleteThe Seine is high and muddy after days of rain & drizzle ☔️
DeleteAMEN, about not letting rain stop you from doing what you want to do....I GREW UP IN Rainy PACIFIC NORTHWEST, SO THE RAIN WE GET HERE IN BAY AREA...NO BIG DEAL....GET OUT THE BOOTS ETC, AND GO----IF YOU REALLY WANT TO.
ReplyDeleteWHAT I DO UNDERSTAND, is that having as much sunshine as we do, folks don't always recognize, when they NEED TO REST? SO BURN OUT CAN BE VERY BIG AND REAL AROUND HERE !
OH, WELL, WE LIVE AND LEARN.
