{J'adore Paris}

Last year I started a little collection. An ode to my love of Paris. I've been buying these teeny tiny vintage eiffel towers, I have 4 now. They're quite rare to come by, especially in Australia. But whenever I remember I'll hunt one down on ebay. My most recent one came from France, but my others have all been shipped out from America.

I saw this feature in an issue of Home Beautiful last year, the home owner had created a gorgeous little vignette declaring her love of Paris to the world. As well as Eiffel Towers big and small, she had these beautiful old maps of Paris that she had found on ebay and had framed.

You might like to try searching for one too, I enter vintage eiffel tower into the search. A couple of pages of items will usually come up, most often none of it's authentic. And alot of it's rubbish-y. But occasionally you'll strike gold, like this little one.

This is another one I'd love to buy, Muji's Paris in a bag but unfortunately they don't ship to Australia. It's sweet though isn't it? I think it would look fabulous displayed under a glass cloche.

I think things look nicer displayed en masse, and I like grouping things together in odd numbers. Tell me, what do you collect?

You will have to excuse my terrible images, I am a) in need of a new camera b) on a new laptop that has no editing software and c) scannerless.
