and from sheets on the ground.......
More interesting, beautiful, and fun treasures to be found...
We loved these wall paper samples............
Gigi makes her first "mistake" of the day....She got such a great deal on this scale, she "forgot" it weighs about 50 lbs and she doesn't really have room in her suitcases...
We talk her into trying to become a "vendor" and put a price on the scale......
Once again, NO ONE has a problem filling their bags to the brim....
Think we are done? No Way, we get wind of a huge "Vide Grenier" or Garage sale that happens once a year. How big was it? Well, let's put it this way, we walked for over an hour and a half and STILL didn't find the end!
At this point, we were still smiling.......
But as it went on and on and on....we just wanted it to END! What was on the next block?, As someone said, we were so tired, we were finally "defeated"!We went back to the hotel to get ready for our wonderful dinner at the secret HK, where we had held reservations for over a year.
This gorgeous door, led us to our culinary dreams....
Two chefs who share dinner with 16 "friends" in their Paris apartment. When the door opened, everyone almost had a heart attack........gorgeous, intimate..
The chefs, Braden and Laura greet us with kindness and laughter.........
Braden describes each of the 10 courses.............
Beautiful, delicious, delicate morsels, each served on a differently shaped plate. Light infusions, sauces and marinades....
Wonderful to share with old friends.....
And new friends....this is Val with Rose who is studying at the Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School in Paris. Rose was able to snag a last minute spot at dinner because WE had one person cancel due to illness. Lucky HER! If you are a foodie, visit Rose's Blog, for her version of the night, a detail menu, and her adventures in Paris. It truly was a perfect night!
