Have recently been to Paris for a few days for shopping and inspiration ! Join me as we walk around window shopping ... this was a lovely vintage shop with old dolls and the silk flowers in the foreground are an old hat.
These are some delightful hanging fabric babies on ribbons - the smaller ones are in walnut shells.
Two old signs found in a traditional pharmacy.
This was a great bead shop in the Marais district just behind the Pompidou Centre. They take a long lunch hour so go early morning or after 3 !
Had to buy some patisserie of course ...
which is also in the Marais at 8, Rue des Francs Bourgeois. It is just full of the most beautiful things ; kits, ribbons , off cuts, needlework boxes, scissors and tools and the best selection of buttons I've seen for a long time - take your credit card !
This bundle will be worked into some of my garden embroideries I think ...
These fine trimmings will make some fairy very happy ...
Will be making more of these little ladies with my finds ! If anyone has any interesting cotton reels to give away there is a free fairy to be posted ...
