Despite this crazy year, I’m finding there’s more to be thankful for than ever, today and every day- like seeing the leaves change color after missing out on spring. 🍁

I was hoping that this photo would be the one I posted to announce the launch of my print shop, but other work commitments got in the way. So I’m choosing to be thankful that I have work, at a time when it can be difficult to come by, rather than disappointed that I didn’t have time to get it up and running before Black Friday. Hoping to be able to work on it and get it up this weekend, so stay tuned!

Let’s share some positivity in the comments- what are you thankful for today?

Basically just killing time with autumn photos until I can start posting Christmas ones (I’ll be prompt- after Thanksgiving all bets are off) 🍂

La dernière fois que j'ai posté, c'était déjà

La dernière fois que j'ai posté, c'était déjà il y a plus d’une semaine, et c'est parce que j'avais espéré que la prochaine photo planifiée vous annonce le lancement de mon print shop ! Mais hélas, j'ai eu quelques soucis techniques, alors j’essaie de les résoudre au plus vite et j'espère que les prints seront disponible ce WE ou la semaine prochaine au cas où quelqu'un voudrait en offrir un comme cadeau de Noël. En attendant, voici une autre raison pour laquelle j’adore mon quartier et pourquoi je ferai tout ce que je peux pour y rester pour toujours ❤️

It’s been a solid week since I last posted and it’s because I had hoped for that photo to coordinate with the launch of my print shop! But alas, I’ve had some technical issues with setting it up, so I’m working on fixing those and hoping to have it available this weekend/next week in case anyone wants to get one as a Christmas gift. In the meantime, here’s yet another reason why I’m obsessed with my neighborhood and will do everything in my power to stay here forever ❤️

Is anyone else finding themselves more stressed ou

Is anyone else finding themselves more stressed out this week, even compared to last week? I know for many of us (even a lot of French friends!), the election was a major attention and energy suck. And yet somehow, even after the results were called, I don’t feel any calmer.

Honestly the only thing that allows me to take my mind off of stress/anxiety lately is working out, but I don’t even take the time to do that often enough. I need to be more like the couple I snapped here! How do you deal with stress/anxiety?

Lundi ensoleillé (et les feuilles me manquent déjà mais il me reste quelques photos à partager) 🍁

Sunny Mondays (and already missing the autumn colors but there are more to come on my feed) 🍁

Wow. What a week. So much to say and yet too drained to say it all, so here’s a picture of the Tuileries in autumn. #paris

Et voici: la première photo sur le feed prise depuis le début de confinement ! Je suis restée ici un temps embarrassant pour prendre les pigeons en vol dans la photo (j’ai même essayé de les faire voler, mais en vain) mais j’ai trouvé qu’il manquait quelque chose à la photo. Quelle est la chose la plus ridicule que vous ayez jamais faite pour une photo ?

And here we go: the first photo taken since lockdown! I stood here an embarrassingly long time to get the pigeons flying in the photo (even tried running at them to get them to fly but to no avail) but I felt like it was just missing something. What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever done to get a photo just right?
