Potted Paris, original art, 9" x 11"Time to focus on flowers while we're inundated with snow...
Parisiens are mad for their small potted plants to line their balcons. How could I not cross the street (23 Rue des Saint-Pères) for a peek inside Olivier Pitou.
A treasure chest of fabulous fleurs inside this closet-sized boutique. 
Can you smell the flowers?
And why not a giant dramatic polar bear to jazz things up?
They were very sweet and let me shoot, though I didn't buy a blossom...
Heavens!
Miam! as good as macarons framboises non? 
Glorious bouquets and arrangements...
But their specialty must be these perfect potted plants...
For your terrasse bien sur.
Dear USA Customs please let me bring some of these home?
Olivier Pitou is in the 6th arrondissement too.
Other Parisien Fleuristes:Do you have a favorite fleuriste in Paris?
Tell me about them S.V.P.
BONNE JOURNEE!

Do you believe in synchronicity?Or "meaningful coincidences," as Jung calls it...
Just before I left for Paris I was rushing to finish a menu illustration full of bears...
The apartment I rented in the Marais was on rue aux Ours (BEAR street), pronounced, ru Oh-Zores... I still can't pronounce it! 
My first day in Paris I met Jette from Denmark in the street...
And don't you know she's writing and illustrating a book about Polar bears! So naturally I kept seeing more BEARS EVERYWHERE!
This poster in the Metro was unavoidable.
And a 5-minute walk from my apartment was this wonderful specialty boutique, L'Ours du Marais on 18, rue Pavee, 75004. They sell ONLY BEARS of course.
They have tons of these Russian carved wooden bears from the town of Bogorodskoye.
Plus all manner of silly out-fitted teddy bears or nounours....
Bear stamps, bear tins, bear T-shirts...it goes on and on.
Plenty of bear china too. I was looking for a GREEN bear for my cousin Louise, but that was the ONE bear they didn't have...
Today I found among my photos these marshmallow bears or les nounours a la guimauve from La Mere du Famille.

Hi Jette!
How are your bears doing? :)
