the timeless energy of a place
hi guys, hope you’re having a good week. i’ve been laying low trying to tie up loose ends before heading back to paris in 5 days. i guess you never really finish tying those ends and it’s really just one of life’s little jokes. everyday there are new strings so it’s sort of pointless and i’m just going to give in to it, otherwise i’ll never get to more creative stuff like writing.
i only realized this just now as i promised to announce a blogger meet up for a very special rendez-vous while en paris.
i’m heading to the maison objet with a couple pals and am really excited to meet fellow bloggers vicki archer of french essence and sande chase of a gift wrapped life. we’ve been trying to get together for years and are finally going to make it happen, and you’re invited too!
the girls have set up a meeting at cafe deux magots:
i have to admit i’ve been there a couple times and always thought it was a bit of a tourist trap but searching for an old photo of it tonight, i realized just how much beauty, history and art has come from these walls.
all of these shots are from the cafe, taken by various photographers in different years, but all with the same outcome. pure magic.
i can’t wait to meet you, ladies, and hope we make some magic of our own! if you’re going to be in paris, or live there (martha, erica, madelyn) i hope you can come!
check out this link for other great old shots of classic paris cafes and have a bonne nuit, cher amis!

I think you found the perfect photo for this trip Claudia……..the one with the ladies all napping sitting up. This may very well happen after walking the Maison et Object all day! See you soon and be ready for a very lovely hug. XO

Anyway, I hope you have a lovely time! I’m getting out of town this weekend for my birthday, but no where as lovely as Paris. But that’s the goal for next year!

Perhaps if this meet up became an annual event, I could come another time. I can only imagine what you three ladies (or more) will have to share over a bistro table and a glass of champagne. Wishing you all safe travels and happy souvenirs of Paris!

I am so bummed! i will be in Paris from thursday leaving Sunday morning for Avignon to work with my manufacturer!! I would have loved to meet you, especially I am staying at l’Hotel which is so close and my hang out is around the corner Cafe Flore! Perhaps we could say a quick Hello at the shows..Are you by any chance a member of Le Club at Maisons et objets , it is a great spot to meet over coffee.
