That Paris Icon I love

I couldn't help myself.....
Welcome to the year of the Dragon, the French do it so well.

                                              the first page of the first magazine you pick up,
                                                                      your street map
                                                picked up from this stand - I got the last one

                                 I am on the back side of this window decal, Le Tour Eiffel is everywhere
                                                      and I haven't even left the airport yet!

now on the streets and the tower is on every corner

                                                                   and in shop windows

and on street posters

in hotel lobbies... as classy art work!

                                                                         Long distant views
                                                    and  competing with other Parisian icons.


                 this view is special, Le Tour Eiffel  as seen from my French friend's apartment window.

                                                      and of course I had my time close up
                                                  and just for tiki on tour the tower sparkled!

and last but not least the towers that came home with me:

                                                                   one happy phone,

                                                               and bling for my keys.

The Year of the....Eiffel Tower

All year long I was being stalked.....by something tall, dark and beautiful.....everywhere I went I saw it...

It sent me Christmas greetings,

 on the very day it was snowing in Paris, I saw it again.

It even inspired me to make cookies!


it was dressed in glitter as a Christmas gift


and then added to my key chain - no chance that I will forget.

On a little thank you gift, it sits on a little book, which is actually a little box


it likes to hang out on dinnerware

and in shop windows


You will find it in the drink and food aisles too.

It mostly comes in metal

or in the odd advert.

It likes to dress in pink

it comes framed and unframed



and sometimes it uses way too many accessories!

standing alone or surrounded by the city
small is good too.

it likes to show up in my inbox in the form of attachments

this attachment was taken and sent by my friend Leslie...she saw it in person this year!
 
This lovely tower followed me to New Zealand this year too...

it even stayed in my bedroom at my sister's house,

in the shops,

 and on clothing.

 Down in New Zealand there was a very French touch....an added bow!



 It was in the Auckland airport, for my farewell.


I was reminded of Paris

 come in the Spring!

 Choose your dates

and see it at night.

Would have been pretty but I only saw these lights in the day - oops that F!!

and finally to end the year of the Eiffel Tower a bit of the real tower (the old original tower restaurant roof...why??? I don't know)  seen in New Orleans on Dec 31st.
