The Paris Apartment's Claudia Strasser @ Pierre Deux

She is and looks absolutely adorable.

What a big and beautiful smile she has.

But I thought.....isn't that what you are expected to do when your groopies show up to listen to you while you attempt to teach them about living  the French Flea Market lifestyle?.

And how to incorporate something fabulous from a flea market (that you picked up while in Paris) to just finish off your cocktail table, or that special room.

There are so many special touches that so many shoppers do not know about,

or understand the way Claudia Strasser does.

 This is what Claudia Strasser does.

And she did it with words, props and a slide show.

*And of course she signed her book, 'The Paris Apartment' at the end of her presentation.

The Event for Claudia Strasser of 'The Paris Apartment' was held in the Pierre Deux Showroom at the D.C.O.T.A. in Dania Beach, Florida

While Claudia was doing her Q + A's , 

an older woman went into her life story ( I do mean a mini series)

about shopping for antiques in Germany in her young married life, and

I was sitting there thinking...so what did you buy over there in Germany?

A COO KOO clock perhaps????

COO KOO, COO KOO!!!!!

HMMMMM? 

Here we are talking about Paris.....and that ties right into Germany how?

German antiques?

Am I missing something? ...like an old ginger bread house or  Hansel and Gretal dolls maybe?

It was like a TV moment on Seinfeld.

HUH?

Do I sound a bit tightly wound?

Well, you know I am. And I needed this fun day.

And it was.

It was very entertaining for moi.

And educational for some. LOL

The time I spent with with Claudia.... well...

I was smiling all the time.

Except when the lady went on about her German antiquing memories.

I was hysterical in my head, while in my chair...thinking that I wanted to blurt out

Coo Koo, Coo Koo, what did you buy?

Let me guess, An old Coo Koo clock maybe?

No worries. I behaved,

but I am sure glad that my thought bubbles weren't read.

Claudia and I had a good laugh in the parking lot as we were saying our goodbyes.

Needless to say... I did pick up some new material for my blog and you.

I love you guys
