Field Trip

Today, I took a field trip into the city to see the "Festival des Metiers" by Hermes. Exciting! The artisans of Hermes were busy working at their crafts as visitors gathered around to watch, admire, ask questions and touch the materials. Even their aprons were chic ~ and, of course, they spoke French! (Not to worry - translators were nearby to help.) I saw artisans creating ties, shirts, watches, jewelry, saddles, scarves and the infamous Kelly bag. (sigh) Needless to say, I know why Hermes is so expensive. I didn't walk away with an Hermes souvenir, but I did receive a lovely folio of postcards and I will be dreaming of a Kelly bag tonight.
