(and they use parasols for the sun)
I live on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, but Chinatown has encroached to the East, now virtually encompassing my neighborhood. On hot summer days, the ladies of Chinatown, and some men, open their parasols against the sun.
The next time that I go to Paris, I would
like to visit Heurtault, a shop that makes custom
parapluies and ombrelles.
I really, really want to start doing this. In my neighborhood, they will look at me like I'm a nut. I don't care about that anymore. Thank you, Femme. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI saw a great Madeline Weinrib umbrella yesterday at ABC Carpet and Home. It's also at the Neue Gallerie:

Your neighborhood in enchanting!
ReplyDeleteThat was so interesting to see that neighborhood in NYC! It's like going on a fun "mini"tour with you, Femme! The link to Heurtault had umbrellas
ReplyDeletethat were real works of art--they were beautiful.
