Paris Sister Trip -Visiting `Des Fils Et Une Aiguille

The window display was very pretty.

Des Fils Et Une Aiguille is a pretty little Needlework Shop in Paris.
  I love the Blue color the front is painted!

There were pretty things all over the shop and tucked into the corners.

Although I am primarily interested in embroidering clothing, she had many things to tempt me!

Lots of Threads, Ribbons, Scissors, Needles, fabrics......and etc.

I really like the Linen pieces that were finished and stamped ready to embroidery.

I made a couple purchases and left, paying close attention to the route I was walking to the Metro, so I could find my way back for class.

This square was to be one of my main  landmarks.  It was across from an elementary school and right around the corner from the shop!

I marked the Metro Stop on my map! 
Bourse Metro

Now, I'm ready!!

What a lovely shop! I'm sure I would have spent over 100 Euros had I been there. Could you translate the name for us English speaking people? Google Translate says it is "Sons and Needle , which doesn't make much sense to me.

You are having a wonderful vacation and I wish I were there!

My translation would be Threads And A Needle as 'fis ' is son and 'fils' is thread. I hope this helps. CLARE.
