a french moment ...


I'm having a bit of a french moment, I bought this compact form a charity shop at the weekend.
I think it's 1950's, someones souvenir of a trip to the Eiffel Tower. I don't know why I like it, maybe the colours and that it belonged to someone else once.

My sister lives in Paris, so any excuse I get, I try to visit. There is a great flea market near to where she lives, which is where I bought the buttons from.
