I recently spent two weeks in Paris, although I was sadly ill for most of it. So instead of my typical journal article with lots of writing, I decided to do a pictorial post instead. It was tough to narrow it down to only 18 images! And for you subscribers, get excited, as I'm adding ELEVEN new stores to my shopping guide. You're in for a treat!

Looking for something fun to do the second Sunday of each month in the SF Bay Area? Head to the Marin French Market for loads of antiques, live music, and delicious crepes! Each visit I find treasures, which have included ancient beads, a Victorian brooch, and a vintage original oil painting from Bhutan. It's amazing what you can find there.
