the art of doing nothing
bonjour mid august! hard to believe it’s here already. i got sidetracked today somewhere between research and not being able to concentrate on work, i ended up spending the last half hour in a deep but lovely rabbit hole. it started with merely wanting to say hello with a summer illustrations but it’s so easy to get lost isn’t it? well anyway this is a little collection of french fun that spans the 1920s and 30s covers and interior works of the french magazine, la vie parisienne. i hope it’s a petite distraction and a chance to remember why we love and admire the french this time of year: the women, the humor, the timeless style and joie de vie.

not to mention ‘l’art presque perdu de ne rien faire’ (the almost lost art of doing nothing)
contentment avec amis
solitude
pique-niquer et l’amour
le vent soufflait
le voyage
la messagere de l’ete
concert de coquillage
les chiens
le moteur
marriage
bonne copines
bonheur
et la soirée. ok it’s official. i have got to get back to work. enjoy your summer day!

Oh my gosh. I have been smitten by “La Vie Parisienne” for such a long time. This is a very nice rabbit hole in which to spend a hot August afternoon. Lovely.

Enjoyed this sweet past-time so much, so glad you perfected the art of doing nothing for our enjoyment (and yours too)!
