Miniature garden gnomes at a brocante at Chatou, France.
IF there's no train strike tomorrow morning, I'm off to Paris. Don't these garden gnomes remind you of Amelie? That film makes me smile, no matter how many times I watch it.
Back later this week with photos. Au revoir!
ooh, I must see that movie again.
'Your pictures of the Eiffel Tower in the next post are so sweet it almost makes me cry. I miss it! And would love to see you there again!! I have your lovely gift of the figures prominently displayed to remind us.

I love that film too & yes, whenever I see a red-capped garden gnome I think of it.

You always give me such a smile with the peeks you provide into other places, other lives. Thanks, friend.

Love these little gnomes. It looks a little snow white and seven dwarfs to me!

Safe journey, my friend. I hope for your sake that there will be no strikes, none while you are bound for Paris or during the time you plan to return. Photos aplenty, please? Feeling a bit nostalgic these days about the city, the people, the croissants...:)
