Finally getting back to this after a hiatus over six months. Too complicated to explai. However, I am in Paris in a miniature room, or rather two rooms, of my own. I am living in a tiny apartment in the Batignolles area of Paris. It's a great neighborhood, not touristy with all the things great Parisian neighborhoods have, three boulangeries, a boucherie, lots of good little restaurants and cafes, close to the Metro and bus lines.
Have been here for two months, writing, working and loving living in Paris. Over the next few days I will be planning a Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas walkabout, getting what photos I can of their homes and haunts. Found one copy of the book 'walks in Gertrude Stein's paris' which I will try to get today or tomorrow
I haven't done any mini-ing here, but planning the Stein day, has got me going again. I have found two ofmy missing pie es of furniture, or close facsimiles- a tea table and a large armoire. Until I develop the skills to build my own fine furniture I think they will do. Will post pictures when the real things arrive.
Lunch yesterday in the Galleries Lafayette, coffees in the arum dries Garden, dinner ( escargots, followed by duck confit, followed by creme brûlée and coffee at Chez Marcel around the corner. Busy days
