For the Love of Paris




j'taime Paris. Always have! Since my high school French class and upon meeting the French foreign exchange student that stayed with my friend, Beth, for a year! Number 1 on my "bucket list", Paris is the one place I must see before I "kick it". My niece, who is studying to be a criminal law doctor, tells me her first big paycheck is funding our trip... even my daughter tells me she will take me when she's rich & famous!!! For now, I have to just stick with the dream ~ well, and the shrine in my foyer!! lol I'm constantly searching for new pieces for the display, with money tight, I have to get creative. A lot of these little Eiffel Towers were gifts and eventually the bird houses will be replaced with Paris souvenirs!! My mom owns an antique / resale shop & I have her on the lookout for more trinkets!! I made the ATC display last weekend.
