Ginger Jar at Vaux le Vicomte,watercolor on Etsy, sold 5.5" x 7.5"
Gathering my birds together for the trip to Paris has been somewhat helter skelter..
While Yellow Bird has been very busy making dessert decisions -what to bring and what to leave behind (someone said that dessert spelled backwards = de-stress..do you get that?)
There is a new bird in the joint and he has been very busy looking for...
Long lost Bluebird - No where to be seen for 6 weeks! 
We even went back to Tiny Doll House to see if they had another! They did, but he was rather scruffy - not suitable at all to take to Paris! HUMPH
At last Bluebird was found. YAY He was busily perusing the Paris map, the Eiffel Tower in fact was his objet de desire...
He was conveniently hiding in the teapot collection, so he could have a cuppa whenever...
Overjoyed, all the birds celebrated at a tea party and perused the map some more - plotting out their future routes of adventure. Don't you love to drool over a map just before a trip? I do.
Sadly, dear Piu Piu is not joining the others on this trip...he's just too noisy to pass through customs, this bird...Dream on PiuPiu..Bon Mardi!!!

DIY Madeleine pans, original watercolor, 9" x 11"
I'm gearing up to make my own madeleines. It's about time I moved into the kitchen is it not..?
Sometimes you fall on something much more wonderful than what you were looking for, like I fell on this no-name boulangerie...
Peeking in this window, who could resist going inside?
Did you ever see a more traditional old fashioned bakery? And this is in Paris!
Look at the lace doilies in the straw baskets. I bet in the French countryside there aren't places like this anymore. Are there?
The painted ceiling is DIVINE. And a chandelier too. Was this once a very grande boulangerie?
Wall flowers...daisies...
Divine bow-tied croissants. And did you notice the butterflies along the ceiling up above? Are these Belle Epoch style? What's your guess?
Oh and they have macarons naturalment! Hey THIS is PARIS!!! Afterall.
A lovely old painted mirror sign, as fresh as when it was first put up too...
This is what I bought - 3 madeleines and for just 1.10 Euros! Prices from 1890's too!
Here's how to find my no-name boulangerie. It's in the 18th arrondissement on rue Caulaincourt and you take the Metro: Lamark Caulaincourt
If you know of other forgotten but still wonderful old Paris boulangeries PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
