marlayna, angela and i discovered the cutest store on our way to the seine after class. called librairie pinault, they sell jewelry, trinkets, collectibles, and watches mostly at steep prices. but the watches are so irresistible! they are each unique to the hobby they depicted, like what angela bought – a pair of scissors as the minute and hour hand, and a needle as the seconds hand. we were both fascinated by all the watches, that we stayed for at least 45 minutes admiring them.

i normally don’t spend a lot on jewelry in general, but angela convinced me that watches are good investments. they last long and are obviously very useful… so i splurged and got one too, of piano keys.
