sunday, sunny sunday
happy easter, or passover or just plain sunday everyone! it’s early here and i’m about to make my first move. i’m thrilled to be working with HiP (Haven in Paris), a wonderful company run by an incredibly efficient team and headed up by owner Erica Berman. (more on her dream story later). she put together a fantasy itinerary for me where i’ll be changing apartments every few days, starting with this gorgeous flat:
haveninparis.com/rental/Rameau.php
it’s in the 2e so that’s exciting cause i’ve never stayed there and am looking forward to exploring the nooks and crannies this week. it’s the first on my series for the new book and i’ll be interviewing the owners who put it all together, and taking lots of photos. anyway i’ve got to get going cause i’m meeting laurence there to introduce me to the place. enjoy your day and i’ll be back once i’m settled in!

What a beautiful site! Am putting you on my list of fav blogs! I am another Aries woman (All-Starter-but-not-quite-finisher-of-all-projects!) who spends a great deal of time in Paris. Hope the beauty of the place and your love of the city helps overcome the lonliness of being away from family on a holiday.
Many fuzzy feelings and good wishes to you!
(And to feel a little better, watch the short video I posted on my blog. You’ll feel happy in no time!)
Happy Easter (and dance a little)!
Kirsten

Hi Claudia,
I just caught up with your blog and I am inspired and even more excited to go to Paris. The apartments you posted gave me butterflies. They do have a certain je ne sais quoi, your book idea sounds wonderful! I can’t wait to read it. I am so sad that we will be missing each other. I wish you the best trip and can’t wait to see more. Happy belated birthday!
Bon nuit,
Casey
