It’s not every week you meet up with 2 princes 👑
Le Petit Prince Paris letter was sent out 📮 last weekend.
I drew a ‘Thank you’ drawing for attending le Festival de la Tomate 🍅
And he was a postman 📪 in fact.
La Musée Postal is having an exhibition
On workman’s clothing
With an emphasis
On French 🇫🇷 Postal workers.
I went yesterday.
The museum gift shop on the 1st floor, sells classic blue workman’s jackets (45€).
And very nice Postman’s bags in 3 sizes. Pas cher👍
When visiting his publishers in New York
“Why don’t you write a children’s 📕 “
the above sketch,
Everything is connected.
Meanwhile, Last week Solli
They did not.
And a tiny pin.
I left them at the rubber stamp station 🤷♀️
Have you listened to Le Petit Prince?
in case you were wondering 😊
Wonderful, as always. Don’t forget famous French postman, Ferdinand Cheval of Hauterives. He built the fantastical Palais Idéal du Facteur Cheval. He walked his 20 mile mail route for 33 years collecting interesting looking stones as he went. When he got home he built a castle! It is a magnificent testimony to French resilience and creativity. A must see when visiting the Drôme.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Like an Indian Temple!! Amazing..in the Dromes.

Thanks to you're went to the postal museum for the clothing exhibit. the whole museum was (surprisingly) fascinating. And the gift shop was great! The smallest postal bag is perfect for a small purse, and I couldn't resist the stuffed pigeon. And you can mail postcard stateside directly from the museum
ReplyDeleteI am so happy 😃 you went! Musee Postal is a too well-kept secret.
DeleteGreat stuff on every floor - very witty too.

St Ex was flying a reconnaissance mission near Corsica for the Free French Air Force in 1944. He never returned from his mission. The speculation is that the Germans shot down his P-38 Lightning. He was an impressive character.
ReplyDeleteI just read his plane remains was found off Marseilles.
DeleteA fascinating, talented man.
Magnificent drawings, looking forward to more!
