Beyond L'Ecoute

It is really two days until Christmas.

Right this moment,

I am  eating cinnamon sugar toast on Italian bread.

Yesterday I wrapped every  gift in the house.

It took me hours, but it is done.

One more gift to buy. Larry's.

Larry I know that you read the blog every day

 so don't expect me to spill a secret or two.

Libby is still sleeping and is not interested in her food today.

Maybe it is the rain?

I would love to still be in bed too if I could get away with it.

I did not take any photos yesterday.

BUT

I did get hard copies of my France photos and relived our holiday once again
 as I reminisced my way through the images.

Flashback: Paris

November 18th, 2014

I had found my way to La Droguerie.

It is the most amazing yarn shop in Paris. {or anywhere else for that matter}

I went inside and was so overwhelmed and tired,

{i was pre-surgery during the trip and had a few ill moments} 

I needed to go outside. Fresh air.

Luckily, L'Ecoute was right across the courtyard.

I sat and watched people taking pictures with the sculpture

 by Henri de Miller.

Watching people is the best thing in the world.

It reminds me that I am just me.

I can be and do anything I want in this world.

Next year maybe I will have my photo taken with L'Ecoute.

A happy, strange photo that will do the sculpture justice.

After I started feeling better,

 I went back into La Droguerie and bought yarn for Jami.

A beautiful blue wool. I cannot wait to see what she makes out of it.

While checking out, I met the nicest woman.

She spoke very good English and shared her first experience at La Droguerie with me.

It was not unlike mine I am glad to say.

She also told me about a shop in Montmarte that sells one yard cuts of designer fabrics.

Can you imagine Dior fabric for 2e a miter?

I found the shop while on the hill and it is on my list to return to next year.

I am going with projects in mind and ready to create!

It is still pouring.

I better get going and get my errands done.

Have a wonderful day.

Remember, we can be anything we imagine ourselves being.

Love you beyond L'Ecoute.
