Galerie Lafayette in her Christmas Dress.
Yesterday we went to the big department stores on Boulevard Haussmann, and I couldn't go into the Galerie Lafayette without taking a picture of the beautiful art deco dome in the main store. I forgot to bring my camera but my husband reminded me that I can take pictures with my cell phone, which I tend to forget:)
The sidewalks outside the store where full of people but inside the stores were not crowded at all. The overall impression is: thousands of primarily ephemerial luxurious products (which most people cannot afford to buy anymore) in a very artificial design paradise. The sheep are fun though:)

You must KNOW which picture is my favorite. I want to run and jump head first - right into that little pile of lammies. Your cell phone made interest effect on the Christmas tree photo, at first I thought it was a picture made by you. Quite nice.
Thank you for a little bit of parisian Christmas.
Hi Andrea, this is a fun, fun post! I love the colorful aspect of the photos you have taken. I have never used my phone to take photos then download them onto my computer. Mmmm, I need to ask my children about how to do that. :) I am slow. I find the little, colorful cabinets very appealing not to mention the architecture. :)
It looks like you had a really fun weekend, though. I hope your week continues to be the same.
Hugs!
this is a source for your beautiful creations, I can't wait to see what you will do with it...
mmmm i know they want us to spend spend spend, but it seems to m ethat the stores are all struggling to get customers...in london there are pre-xmas sales everywhere! crazy!
Good quality photographs with the cel phone.
What an ornate building! Love all that gold! I'd feel like a little kid in there oggling all those goodies and I'd definitely want to go home with a sheep! So cute.

You took all those photos with you cell phone camera? Thank you J-L for reminding you. :))

What a treat for the eyes! Beautiful to look at, I love the dome. The lamb "pile" is quite cute. My daughter informed me I could text my cell photos to my email. Now I am telling my son in college that he can do that!
