The red Chinese lanterns shown brightly into the windows...as the district prepares for the Chinese New Year. People wandered in quite early and stayed way after the 5 p.m. ending time. We saw some new faces and old faces.
Rosemary Flannery, a working artist who has lived here in 1987, specializing in portraits, showed off her beautiful portfolio and packages of original gift cards made up of her drawings of Paris.
Aldridge Hansberry popped in donning a red beret that matched Rosemary's. She's a musician living here, too, for several years and is always interested in meeting new people and sharing her music.
Steve and Nancy Woods from San Francisco and One Of Designs, came to escape, to walk, walk, walk and walk the streets of Paris, to see more arrondisements and become more familiar with the city. They rented an apartment on the Ile Saint Louis -- dead center to go anywhere they want to go.
Carolyn Johnson is living in Louviers in Normandy and working for Chef Susan Herrmann Loomis of On Rue Tatin. She'd like to find a way to work more, perhaps find some freelance projects in Paris.
Beatrice Truesdale, a regular at Parler Parlor and Parler Paris moved here "for good" last month and is almost over the hurdles of settling in and really enjoying the city.
Joel Palaez is here only three months out of the year. He and his pup, Toulouse, would like to be here more, of course.
Jeanne Velu has a relocation business that helps Expats to find housing, visas and get settled in. She's looking to meet the HR folks for multi-national companies that will grow her budding business.
Kinear Young originally from New York is a student in a masters program wanting to perfect her French, network and meet new people.
Amii Lesbats works in New York and Paris -- a flight attendant for Continental Airlines with a French husband. She loves meeting new people and speaking French well.
Susan Kaase, who attended the Living and Investing in France Conference in San Diego last September, is here now for several weeks wanting to find a way to buy an apartment in Paris.
Old fir ends, such as Dale Novick Gaber, psychotherapist who just moved here permanently into an apartment she found when she came to Après Midi last month and Eva Lee Lichtenberg, attorney from Tranquility New Jersey, who now spends about one-quarter of the year here, were on hand to chat it up with us.
Parler Paris team members of course were with us... Sheila Kern, artist, designer, decorator and Rentals Coordinator and Mary Ellen Gallagher, Property Search Consultant.
And old friend of Après Midi, film maker and English teacher Robert Larrea, walked in last -- we hadn't seen him in such a long time -- what a pleasure!
