Calling all you flea market junking gypsies let's go to Paris! The Iowa Junk Gypsies have a deal for you! If you are interested in going on a Paris trip with a bunch of junk girls and hitting all the flea markets and shopping you can fit into a week then you have to check out the Junk Gypsies. Anita is fluent in French and has a tour set up April 13 thru the 20th to make you swoon. Check out the itinerary she has planned for a really reasonable price. It sounds like a trip I can't pass up, how about it, anyone want to go with me?
Just to wet your appetite a little, here are some pictures my daughter Jody and I took a couple of years ago on our Paris trip we took together.
We spent 8 days in Paris and had the time of our lives, we hit about every tour from Monet's garden to Saturday night at the Moulin Rouge!
Jody filling her water bottle at one of many fountains throughout Paris
The Paris flea markets on Rosary St. This little gal was so nice. I do not speak any French but that really didn't seem to matter at all. We always found a way to communicate and the French were all so lovely and gracious.
Jody and I at one of the many gardens...
Flea Market...and just a note, I found shipping to be quite reasonable.
My favorite little boutique...
Monet's Gardens
Monet's House
Beautiful formal gardens at the palace
Our favorite restaurant in Paris. We ate there every night after we found this place...the wine and deserts were pure heaven.
Another famous restaurant for lunch
Shopping for art on the Siene
Sweet little bird lady... she sat there and fed the pigeons on the church steps.
Roof tops of Paris
My favorite the Momarte District. This is the park where all the artists gather and paint. Soooo fun!
Our favorite wine shop in the Momarte dist. Isn't it the cutest little shop?
The paintings on the outside of this restaurant were incredible...Victorian ladies.
Fabulous bakery...

I am happy because in that little package is the most delightful desert you have ever tasted...
And there it is... me walking the streets of Paris... something I have longed to do again ever since I left Paris...Blessings,
Rebecca

Oh how I would love to do something like this. It's a dream of mine, but where to ind the time right now. I loved looking through your photos. It looks like you had a wonderful time and that you got to share it with your daughter is amazing.

Thanks for the post about the trip- your pictures are awesome. I am excited to go!
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you're back on the computer!! April in Paris wow would this be the best ever!! My daughter's father-in-law actually is from Paris and lives there most of the year when he is not in Brazil. I have an open invitation, but it's more about timing and maybe $ for loads of shopping. Good to know that shipping is within reason...I think I am going to have to look into a Paris sooner than later!! Your trip and pictures are fantastic...what a wonderful trip and with your daughter to boot...I hope it works for you to go...I'll be there in heart!

Thanks for the little trip back to Paris. My mom and I were there April of 2008 and it was perfect. I would love to go back someday. We too found a favorite restaurant and ate there a few times for dinner.
