stinky cheese fun--
TROU DU CRU--yes, one has to prouncue that correctly otherwise..you are saying...TROU DU CUE--which means...A-HOLE!
PHOTOS FOLLOW...well of the cheese...yes, ADDA is back to his cheese addiction as well as photo addiction...ok, of TROU DU CRU not TROU DU CUE!
HAVING lots of fun in PARIS==lots of FOUND OBJECTS photo ops--including CESAR in the LUXEMBORG GARDENS...yes, a hunk dressed in a togo as CESAR for his bachelor party. he was a great sport as everyone was taking photos of him.
Though my fav FOUND OBJECT was a piece of blue and white pottery chard found after workers dug up pipes in the LUXEMBORG GARDENS. humm, its nice to think that it came from the destruction of the king's place way way back when.
speaking of destruction, our US dollar to the EURO...omg...what is that FRENCH word you just learned...yes, eating alot at home,,, hence the TROU DU CRU and bagettes, and wonderful fresh veggies!
and of course, one always celebrates destruction...yes, tomorrow, is the GRAND ANNIVERSARY OF THE MAY 1968 STRIKE that crippled PARIS...so, yes, everything will be shut down...we do not plan to venture far from home. as, to get in the spirit, this weekend the busses were on limited or NO run schedules. good time to stay in the neighborhood....which we love, and apparently our upstairs neighbor who purchased her place way back in 1962!
SO, tomorrow is TROU DU CUE day ,,,and we;ll just stay in the neighborhood and have fun...
big hugs...

I took time out for a little thrift shopping during the ECU Metals Symposium and found a few things Bob Ebendorf had missed! It's the first time I have seen a pince-nez with a hairpin attached.
Pen-nibs in the workshop, being used to make earring trios.

“Time passes too fast, and suddenly you realize that little people have turned into big people … only too soon”
I remember picking up this tiny old pencil from the floor outside my daughter’s kindergarten some years ago. In fact, thru the years I have picked up at least 3 tiny, discarded pencils. They all have similar characteristics … tiny, blunt, messed up, and all of them have battered butts, probably the result of little teeth chewing on them.
When I found this little pencil in one of my trays, images came flooding into my mind. Little kids sitting on little chairs and tables, drawing with pencils such as this one. How many children have found joy with this pencil? Could Llara be one of them? Did she ever use this pencil? Was she one of the little culprits who caused its battered butt? It made me smile …
“Little People” is an assemblage of a found discarded pencil, recycled copper, repurpose crocheted tablecloth, stained gauze, old dictionary, a little clay heart, a clock part, a tiny brass bell, 12g brass wires augmented by fire, jasper beads and a randomly cut Picasso Jasper.
