Another day of overcast and rain, we decided to make our way to marches du puces, and had great fun. At least Anne and I did. Erin kept herself entertained, but then well, it is a slew of garage sales. But what fabulous stuff. Furniture, antique mostly, and beautiful, chandeliers, objets d'arts, records, dvd, lithographs, etc. I found a seller who identified my long lost movie, Alexandre le bienheureux, and I have just located it on, of all mainstream US places, none other than amazon.com. How embarrassing that I have to come here to find it there! Ugh!!and I have already queried my filme-o-phile, ami, Jose. I hope he can tell me if the EU version will play in the states. We had lunch at Chez Louisette, a recommended spot from a book my dearest friend had sent me. We were seated right away, but couldn't get the waitress to comover for at least 30 minutes. Fortunately during where we heard une chaunteuse comme Edith Piaf, et des chanteurs tres biens. The singing was totally fabulous. The each came around with the obligatory hat to pass, a little challenging giving away euro after euro, but not able to get a tranche de pain to quell the stomach's yearnings.
I saw several things que je voudrais. A Few lithographs de Chagall, Miro, Matisse, 60-90 euro. There were on old papier and I asked the seller qu'est-ce ques passe? He said that there were books of lithography of the works that were made and the pages are now sold. Hmm.. Mom and I loved a madonna in enamel apparently by Limoges?? 380 euro?? I thought about my dad's style of "Here is 50, 50 50, 50 euro bills for you???? Cash, here in front of you. this is all I have???" Peut-etre a prochaine weekend?
I thought about a copper pot?? J'ai decide que je ne veux pas une sac utilisee (chanel.) C'est sale en l'interior.
Nous retrounons sur Metro at Roule, and walked to find wine for dinner, and bread. We are all typing or watching our hand held units, mom kindle, erin and me laptop.
I am ready for schnooze soon. Had fun talk with Jim.
