Vintage Camera....

vintage photographer!  I love What's on Second.  It has a plethora of collectibles and memorabilia. I love  Steve Gilmer and the nice ladies that work there. They just let me prowl around, take tags off, move things around, just about anything to satisfy my bossy photographer self!  I thought a vintage self portrait was in order!

Love Pat

Steve Gilmer, the owner of the wild, wacky and eclectic What's on Second, has two shop pups.  They were just so darn cute peering over the counter at me I spent half the time I was there trying to catch them without motion blur!  I did catch Steve's dear assistant as she was getting ready to take one for a walk. I think her love pat says it all.

This post is for my dear dog loving friend in Gorbio, France......Jilly.  She blogs from Menton FR here, and Monte Carlo here, and features Riviera dogs here.  She and I always have lovely long phone chats while I"m in Paris and we SKYPE now and then.   One day I hope to meet her in person.  I can't wait to visit her  home and meet all of her chers chiens, and the ones she boards ( and loves)  while their owners are away.  Pension Milou must be a very wonderful place... for dogs and friends as well.
