Following the Petals...a Page by Page Look at my European Journal

  
Pour a cup of tea and let's take a journey together...

  
The red line, a nod to Vincent.

  
A visit with Henri.

"Une. deux. Trois."

"The Awful Tower."

A week in Durfort.  

 

   

Arguing about Twombly.

  

Pink petals in Auvers sur Oise as well as Montmartre. They always led to Vincent...

 

 

Our third floor apartment with a winding staircase in Place de Clichy.

  

Maman in Amsterdam.

 

 

The Parisian Metro.  

Flowering cacti in Monolieu.  

  

The artists of Montmartre

 

"POPPIES!" on the road to the Book Village. 

Listening to Jules and Jim as we walked the streets of Montmartre.

  

We are saving Giverny for next time... but I kept Monet close.

Marks of Monet

 

 

Bookstores of Paris (there are many. David made a hand drawn map of just bookstores. We walked everywhere. Every day we visited new ones and each one led to new discoveries and off the beaten path treasures. We saw things the tourists never looked for because they're not mentioned in the guide books...

"Pearls on a string."

La Belle Angele 

A flip through peek here:

David and I spent three weeks in Europe, traveling through France as well as visiting London, parts of Germany and Amsterdam. Each page, image, color palette, mark and word represent specific memories of our journey. They are glimpses into very special moments that occurred during our time there. I have no doubt that some of the same memories (as well as others) spill over into my present and future journals.

I am still sharing photos from our journey. You can find what I've shared so far here.

We are also planning on returning. Somehow... There are more discoveries and adventures waiting... 

Anyone interested in following pink petals with me?
