Good morning! It’s Tuesday, and we’re standing in Square Boucicaut, a lovely little park bordered by the grand old department store, Le Bon Marche. (Fun fact, it’s also bordered by Ina Garten’s apartment. No, she wasn’t here.)
Oh I remember seeing that park when I went to Le Bon Marche, I was needing to get back to my MIL so I didn't spend time exploring the area. I really need to get back to Paris.
Imagination and creativity support a full life. So sad if we do only what we must do. Where is the fun in that ? Take a few simple items and create something, get away from the electronics !
You should stay there - it's a mess in America and getting worse by the day. Your posts and pictures do have an immediate calming effect on me though. I need to read them often.

I love the Paris tour.
Cheers to the quote ! I would love to take A ride on that carousel!
It sounds like a delightful ride! I used to get so lost in those books when I was young, and not so young....
Lots more pictures please! We need fun these days.
Loved the merry -go-round !
How fun!
“Ina! You dropped a glove! Come on down!” (Frantically knits a glove)
What a beautiful quote, and what a darling "merry-go-round", as we called them growing up.
I think it is simply wonderful that you are able to be in France. Enjoy Enjoy
You make me smile,wonderful carousel 🎠 💓 enjoy this day

Oh absolutely. I found out recently that several of my cousins children are going to a Waldorf School, where the creed is No Screens.
Oh to be a child on a carousel again rather than living in the US during this dark time in “the land of the free and home of the brave”…
It’s quite a different carousel ride isn’t it.
Thank you for this as it supported my love of imagination and creativity.
