Paris

I was in Paris earlier this month for a shoot
 Loved the spools in the window of this sewing machine shop
 And crochet cherries in the restaurant we went to for dinner (i.e steak)
 The candy coloured pastries and cakes....
And this authentically coloured Eiffel tower, that I  really couldn't resist...
