Time is flying at the moment, I am out and about more, the weather is warming up…. I am happy, but I somehow have less time on the Internet. So I am a bit behind on blogs, Twitter, mails, blogging etc etc.

It’s been already over a week since I discovered a new yarn/fabric/notions store in Paris. It’s a fabulous and cute little shop and if you’re in Paris you should definitely stop by. There aren’t many (or any) out there like this.
Plus, it’s located in a beautiful “passage” and right there in the middle of the city.

Yesterday we spent a wonderful couple of hours in Paris and some less wonderful hours in the car to get there, get around and get back home. Every time I go to the city by car I immediately want to move to Brittany. Anyway, while husband and daughter explored the area of Montmartre I went fabric shopping. The excursion ended with a meal of yummy crêpes.

Gestern waren wir in paar Stunden in Paris. Bloss die Autofahrt, ein Graus! Jedesmal, wenn ich mit dem Auto in die Stadt fahre will ich sofort irgendwo in die Bretagne auf’s Land ziehen.
Aber zum Wesentlichen: Währen Mann und Tochter die Gegend von Montmartre erkundeten war ich in anderer Mission unterwegs (siehe oben).
Zum krönenden Abschluss gab es leckere Crêpes, dieser hier (siehe unten) hieß Penmarch, da waren wir schon mal in den Ferien.

Hier, on a passé quelques heures agréables à Paris, et quelques heures moins agréables dans la voiture. A chaque fois j’y vais en voiture, je veux déménager en Bretagne le plus vite possible. Ce trafic, c’est vraiment l’horreur. Mais bon, le plus important est que j’ai pu faire le plein de tissu pendant Monsieur et fille se baladaient autour de Montmartre. On a fini dans une crêperie à Montparnasse avec comme dessert (rien que pour moi) cette crêpe appelée « Penmarch ». Je n’ai pas pu ne pas la prendre (petit clin d’oeuil à Viou) car on y a passé de magnifiques vacances il y a 1 an et demi.

Saturday I headed to Paris, it had been quite a while. My first stop was at the Japanese book shop Junku where I bought a stitch dictionary.

After that headed over to the Bon Marche to get some yarn to make some last minute gifts. My little routine there includes buying an overpriced pretzel at their épicerie. (Sometimes I just have to have one, even in-between visits to Germany.)

Then, I went to the museum of decorative arts to see the Sonia Rykiel exhibition.

A quick monument check on my way out. Yep, still there:

Then I headed to my first ever Crochet Café.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay long because I had to run over to the 14th arrondissement to buy some china to be able to cook for 15 people next Saturday before heading home.
