Yesterday was major. I got my walking papers to venture back into the Big Apple (with a cane but I'm now allowed to climb up the stairs alternate steps instead of one-step-at-a-time!) YAHOO
A chance to return to the Pastry Sketch Crawl begun in late January...
With some reservations bien sur...
NO sitting for hours on end (that upended me into a sciatica episode)...
Back to tres chic Cafe Petrossian.
Though Lord knows why I picked out exactly the SAME tarte as last fateful visit...
I must have a deep hidden attraction to strawberries...
If not to pate brisee crust. I only stayed a half hour and sketched a bit. No point tempting the Gods of Sciatica again.
I returned home to paint in bed...
This seems to be a lucky painting spot for me along with Nom de la Rose teas...
Au Nom de la Rose Teas, watercolor on Etsy, 9" x 11"

I could not resist a quick look in Bergdorf Goodman's windows...
At some 'tartie' shoes I may never venture out in again (not that I did in the past...ahem) Farewell M. Louboutin :(

I was captured by this toy carousel in cafe Petrossians' window...
It reminded me of the carrousel at Hotel de Ville...
Surely you've passed by at one time or another...
And given it a passing glance...
The end of the year made me pause...
To think about 2010...
The choices I made...
Whether to ride the rocking horse or sit on the stationary lion...
Some people are still trying to decide and checking the map one last time...
Did you remember to look up so you didn't miss all the glorious details?
Did you catch the 'brass ring' in 2010? 'The brass rings that were on the horses on the older carousels were present so that people could try to grab in order to get a free ride...Keep in mind that the best carousels were found in America, not Europe. The immigrant craftsmen wanted to make sure that their work reflected their dreams of what coming to America meant'. Who knew?
'Remembering the days of those incredible and decorative carousels, our minds revert back to our wonderful childhood memories.'
Of course there are no free rides... Did you see the Mad Men clip on the carousel?
Don't miss it!
Don't miss it!
Sometimes I feel like this pupI'm not ready for 2011!
STOP!
Sometimes you're up and sometimes you're down
and sometimes you just go round and round.
Just remember to enjoy the ride!
All aboard!
BONJOUR CARROUSELS!
