Paris - Day 4 - A Typical Find


Wander down most streets in most areas of Paris and you will come across a shop that sells items such as these.

Now as someone who has done a lot of set designs I know that in the UK you have to scour all sorts of shops and weird places to find these items. Not so in France because they specialise in this sort of thing. Why, I do not know but you walk into heaven when you enter one of these shops. Everything around you is made from natural materials and the way they put it all together makes you gasp.
The finishing touch is always strategically placed rocks and stones with moss growing on them. If the French weren't so touchy about taking photographs in their shops I could show you one. I am a woman on a mission and even if they arrest me I will try to get a shot before I leave, in the meantime drool over these.
