Back home and writing in my overalls, I must share this shop with you. Go to the corner of Rue de Turbigo and Rue Française and you will find the Hippy Market...that's right-in Paris. After a red wine/potty break at Le St. Eustache, Evelyn and I stumbled in here and had a blast. Our music, our era (or at least a part of mine), and a real trip down memory lane. We were tempted to buy, but didn't. Evelyn would have had to have squeezed it in her luggage to the states. I was still shell shocked from 2 months of stressful work to feel like buying anything. But boy, it was fun. Niels would have loved this place...overalls and more! I know I'll go back!
yes, and today I was in my thrift store again and they have really a lot of different overalls, really difficult to stop buying a lot !:)) I only bought one, half price !

Ah Retirement-we can live in our overalls!

thanks, well I have struggled with that for many years, but now it's easy(at least here in California!!) for me to be professional in overalls. I have reached an age, where I don't have much, if anything, to loose ! I have no need of making career. I can retire any time from now on ! (except, if I wait some years, I will be better off as retired )!

I did Niels and enjoyed it, but it was the one from the day before that struck me! Maybe some day I'll be as professionally brave as you in overalls!

Thanks for the tip Niels-I'll have to check it out the next time I'm there. Better yet go to the site and see what he has to offer in advance. Even though I'm home, I've been posting Paris quite a bit. Evelyn and I had a really wonderful time!

Fantastic, yes, Paris have many treasures for people like us, all 3 ! I believe I'm even more hippie now than in the 70'ties ! but as a bit older now, I'm also fan of another clothing shop in Paris, in Rue Racine where this Schottish guy is making really nice comfortable as well as high class clothes ! http://www.hollington.eu/who-is-hollington/en/
i actually once went into the shop and watched an older gentleman, (older than me!:), getting a pair of overalls, believe it or not, but they a little bit fashionable for me !! but fun it is ! and I'm getting inspired you are back at your chatette to make some posts in the coming days !
lol Niels

Actually, I was thinking it was on the Rue de Rivoli until I began to play the walk back over in my mind. I had to look closely at the photo to see the street signs, otherwise I'd have been out of luck. It's on the return list for me for sure-Happy Sunday!

I'm glad you remember where it is. We'll definitely have to go back.
