Sunday in the Park, Luxembourg Chairs

 

Luxembourg Chairs

Alison of Glasgow asked, 

“Could you please do more maps with Luxembourg garden chairs besides Paris Parcs map? I tried to take one home last visit but they are too heavy for the plane”.

Next day as I went to buy letter paper..et voila. The Fermob shop was next door. Alison’s chair was in the window. My life is one karmic destiny after another.

Still obsessed with Georgianna Lane's divine book, PARIS IN BLOOM. This time her selection of Paris parks made the June map. 

I took a page out of her book so to speak for the Tuileries gardens.

These 19th century Gibson girls almost made it onto the June map but in the end kids with red balloons made the cut. Maybe next time Gibson girls.

Of course iconic green Parisien garden chairs had to be there.

Hanging around in parks I discovered I'm a Paris garden person, not a cafe ☕️ person. The calm. The greens. Playful kids sailing their boats ⛵️ to the hubbub of Parisian street life. This lush park, Square Jean XXIII, is behind Notre Dame and one of Georgianna's favorites.

Yesterday I went back to the Tuileries JARDINS JARDIN searching for June map envelope stuffers and discovered wild garden houses.

A better view of the 3-story garden house.

Don't you love this guy watering his garden house? I'm going to insist my landlord let me have this green retreat in our tiny patch out back.

Or perhaps this lavender haven

So French these modern garden chairs non?

What we all need now - cascading fountains in our back yards. Very Monsieur Hulot's holiday is it not?

A medieval jardin model.

The prize winner of garden retreats, this match stick affair. Not really my cup of tea but you might love it. Do tell.

Who needs to go to Provence? Grow your own lavender why not?

Truffaut, the big French garden suppliers had this amusing chaise.

Who doesn't love ❤️ Ligne Roset's bunny chairs? You'll be seeing this bunny, while I go off to draw castles in Carcassonne today. The June map 🗺️ will go out next week.
