i needed that
hi everyone~as promised, we got our correspondent shots from madelyn of paris perfect who made it to the maison objet and took these wonderful photos for us. thank you, madelyn, you are my heroine, i felt like i was there!
this woman is another super power (like erica) living an incredible dream in paris.
and her coverage of the show was superb. she said there was a lot of violet, black and orange.
i feel relieved.
she also mused it was ‘Hard to think of a whole theme – some retro 60’s, but that is a French thing. They grew up with Louis XVI and love the American modern. So you’ll always see some of that in France and Italy’.
she also tells me she’s meeting with erica for coffee this afternoon. i introduced them. (big smile)
we met last spring when i was researching the chicest paris apartments. she’s an american who has two kids and a hubby, and still has time to look at swatches on montmartre, a tour de force you will be very happy to know when you’re in paris.
i feel satisfied now, that was a real treat.
love the tied books
so that’s it pour le moment. mille grazie encora madelyna!
have a great afternoon guys. i’m about to embark on a 90 day adventure at home so i’ll be back soon with the goings on!
ps for a little more on the show, check out la times’ blog:

Thank you Claudia and Madelyn for taking the time to share the fabulous photos with us. I love it all! I can’t even decide which photo is my favorite… There are so many treasures in the first two photos and the lavender rooms are done in a very nice way! Marvelous!

I checked out one of Haven In Paris’ Montmartre rentals and was intrigued by a reference to a neighborhood vineyard! Check out these pix:

After all these years, Paris still surprised me!
