Why I Oughta...

It's not dark yet.  But it's getting there .  Had the time of my life with my partner as we fell in love all over again. 

I drank a few of these 100 Ans de Coca-Cola en France bottles and cans during my trip to Paris for the Air Show.  Turns out, this is the first corporate campaign the company has run in-country .  Here's my view of the bottles and cans that I ran into.  And one cup...doesn't have the 100 years thing on it, but, its from Disneyland Paris.   Kinda interesting they didn't embrace the whole #ShareaCoke thing. Here's the little film they put together to mark 100 years together .

Oh, you know.  Just a giant thumb sticking out like a...well...sore thumb.  In La Defense.  Details here .  "Le Pouce" was the first piece out outdoor art that struck me in Paris on a recent trip there. Certainly not the last. But the first.

I mumbled that to myself like 10x a day the past few days. 

Another weekend, another garage sale find.  This one is a book that I picked up for the girls.  And with our trip planned for Paris, this Madeline booked seemed super appropriate.  And look at the adorable drawings inside: And this little intro blurb - that isn't an intro blurb: But...*this* is what sealed the deal!  Look at this adorable little note that one young lady wrote to her 'new friend Susanne' when she gifted her this book.  Get together and talk about it at the Medina Pool?!?!  How awesome and perfectly entitled is that?! Added this one to the "vintage books" tag page here .   Check it out to see other posts featuring some garage sale/estate sale finds we've had in the book category .
