Thanksgiving à Musée d'Orsay

 

Last night I went to Musée d’Orsay looking for Degas dancers and found Monet’s turkeys/dinde🦃 You never know what the Impressionnistes will get up to. 

The Information desk (rather curtly) told me I could  Degas’ dancers🩰by taking the escalator all the way in the back 

The White Swan Bendels

Bendels choose not to go with The Black Swan for their Xmas window theme.

Sugar plums and
  The Nutcracker Suite to the rescue

Very old fashioned and delightful

White swan-like ballerinas ride ostriches

Wearing woolen leggings (they were formerly ballerinas of course

A ballerina climbs a ladder to turn on the lights

Multi-ballerinas twirl from the ceiling.

What more could you ask for?

One naughty ballerina takes off her red shoes and goes to bed with the nutcracker.

Macaron Ribbons, watercolor, 9" x 11"

The ribbons were used to tie up this macaron box...

A New York Bendels girl is just in time

To break the piggie bank and buy her pup a doggie snow globe

                         BONJOUR BALLERINAS!
