 This was my local watering hole for the year that I spent in Paris, Café du Marché, located on the corner of Rue Cler and Rue du Champ de Mars in the 7th arr.  It is nothing much to write home about but was and remains very popular with the locals.  The food is simple, consistently good […]

For The Record: I Am Not Old Enough To Have Taken These Photos

I’m in the process of weeding things from my surroundings as our family gets ready to pack up the last 12 years of our life and come July, all splitting off in different directions as we go through a monumental shift in how and where we live our lives.  As a result, I have been […]

Café Dimanche

As I sit here with a cup of coffee and various newspapers on a sunny, Sunday morning, not in a hurry to do anything in particular,  I have decided to stick to the little ritual of sending you off to other parts of the web so you can leisurely read through some interesting articles about […]

Decorating with Napoleon

 First off, I just have to say that I could not love this graphic more and would chop it all up and use it a million different ways in crazy collages or decoupaged on a pendent to create a necklace or bracelet charm.  Too much fun.  The guy is Napoleon and Musée des Arts décoratifs […]
