I had no idea that there was a vineyard in Paris. This fete looks like marvelous fun...particularly when the weather is also fine. Just a nip in the air to increase the visitors' appetites!<br /><br />Is it always held on the last October weekend? Maybe I could go next year. I'll be sure to pack my red cashmere scarf!<br /><br />Lovely, lovely watercolors. Your opening collage is so witty.

Your phot shoot was great loved seeing the Brotherhood in their regalia. I've now learned to follow which stalls the French choose to eat from, as over the years I've made many mistakes. Lovely to see your opening sketch & also the last one, which from the style I think is one you might have done awhile ago. ?
