Nothing thrills me more than spotting an Orca. Imagine my surprise while strolling through a Paris flea market.😳 You can find anything here. I did not ask the price. . . . . #thethrillofthehunt #parisfleamarket #orca

Ok, ok. I know I post pics of the Palais Royal every time, but come on! The precision in the architecture leaves me swooning. Every time. *sigh* . . . #paris #palaisroyal #columns #architecture

Not a hotel as we know it, but a hospital. It has been a hospital in some form since 651 (not a typo!). Most of what you see now was built in late 18th century. . . . #paris

My husband always comes with me on buying trips.❤️ I took this selfie of us this morning at the flea market. In case you don’t recognize us, that’s me on the left with that dreamy look as though I’m in heaven. He’s on the right—after having had a look at my “to do” list and appointments I’ve crammed into the week. Before you ask, I don’t know who the doll is.😂 . . . #selfie #paris #lespuces #myhappyplace #buyingtrip

Inside the candlewick tab shirt sculpture, very discreetly hidden from view, you will find the artist’s hand embroidered signature. A humble “wow” comes to mind.

Lovely, lovely “candlewick tab” shirt by Patti Shaw. You know the little metal piece that you see holding the wick when your candle has burnt to the bottom? Well, this shirt sculpture is made with hundreds upon hundreds of these, all tied together with waxed thread. And, not just any tabs, but the tabs from prayer votives from St. James cathedral in Seattle. Just think of all the prayers. 🙏 About 14 inches tall. Meant for hanging, not wearing.😉 First & Virginia, dwntwn Seattle 206.728.6564 . . . . @patti.shaw #localartist #seattleartist #prayer #somethingfromnothing #supportindependentartists #shopsmall #seattleartgallery #soulful
