I'm still recovering from New Years...
All that celebrating...
And 2011 has rolled into town so FAST!
I admit I have still not bought my new week-at-a-glance journal.I'm in denial...ahem
I'm trying to get a grip on the new year, but it feels rather tenuous like this high wire act.
These adorable miniature tableaux are from a tiny shop on a side street in the 6th arrondissement...
I was passing by with M. after an Italian dinner and a date with George Clooney at the cinema...
You know how it is...

You know how it is... I was lucky to get these shots to show you.
I am wondering if Balenciaga passed by too at one time...
And was inspired to create his bolero jackets by the above mini tableau. You never know...
I don't seem to have ever painted these little figurines...
Though I certainly have painted many miniature petite dejeuners...
And lots of small wind-up birdies...
Next trip I will stop in and see what I can paint here if I can find it again $#@!
While we're on the circus theme and while the weather is still beastly out, there's nothing like curling up with a good book and a nice hot bowl of butternut squash soup. I recently discovered Water For Elephants and loved every thrilling page of it. Who never dreamt of running off to join the circus raise your hand? It's set during the Great Depression, so full of details that one can relate to a bit today non?
Another 'circus' book, believe it or not, is this tale of the great couture designers, YSL and Karl Lagerfeld in The Beautiful Fall. Also full of thrilling details of the Paris 3-ring fashion circus in the wild 70's. What a naughty boy was Yves! And didn't he make his staff and everyone else jump through hoops! A must read if you Love Paris and Fashion.
