Flosstube #73 - I Love Paris

[@Karen-ed8vc]

So here I am, after enjoying every minute of your Flosstube about your trip to Paris, listening to Phantom of the Opera and stitching. ❤ Thank you.

[@theresapetrik1995]

What a beautiful personal rendition of Paris. Your descriptions and photos bring everything together to a new level of "seeing the sights". Someday, my dream is to see the glorious windows of Sainte Chapelle. Wishing you a Happy Easter 🐰

[@stitchingincostume]

I am a lover of clocks. I must say that clock at the Musee D’Orsay is fabulous!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I would LOVE to go to PARIS someday. See you in a couple of weeks 💜

[@lindapearson3340]

Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures of your amazing trip to Paris. I will never in my life be able to go there but with all your beautiful pictures I feel that I have been there too now. Glad you had a wonderful trip. Happy Easter.

[@susanhernandez7770]

That vacation looked wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I’ve never been to Europe, so everything was exciting to see. Enjoy your snow. ❤

[@paulinedean4419]

Chris, Thank you for sharing your trip. All the pictures are absolutely beautiful. I am so happy you had you had a wonderful time.

[@rebeccajourney3183]

I love museums and oh what a joy to see what you visited! Thank you Chris❤

[@ccockrum59]

I loved transporting myself to Paris through your photos and narration. I learned a lot and will be looking up a "few" things. Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to your next video in a few weeks. :)

[@suequilting]

Thank you for telling us about Paris and showing us the great pictures!

[@sandyb_milkcanstitcher]

It was wonderful to see and hear about your trip. So glad you are home safe. Looking forward to the next video. Take care and thank you for sharing.❤❤❤❤😊

[@raeannoneill8392]

I enjoyed your visit. I will probably never see Paris so I loved hearing about it. THANK YOU!

[@sallyknotwell1605]

Paris is my second most favorite city in the world...thank you for sharing your wonderful pictures of the trip...brings back some lovely personal memories. Take care of yourselves in this wishy-washy spring weather. Can't wait till next time!

[@karinmonnich3310]

Thanks for taking us along on your trip to Paris. Happy stitching!

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

I stayed right by the Louvre and ended up not going because I didn't want to deal wit the crowds pre-Covid. I can't imagine now! Your Parisian adventures were lovely to stitch to. Thanks again for some wonderful stories. ❤🌎

[@MSmith696]

Thanks Chris for taking me to Paris. I’ve never been and at my age won’t get the chance so I loved seeing it thru your eyes.

[@marciaclifford7107]

Thanks so much for this beautiful memory of your trip to Paris, Chris! I will never be able to go there, so programs like these are especially precious. And yes, I often wonder, "How on earth do they dust this?" Gave me a chuckle, so thanks for that as well. Have a good couple of weeks.

[@cherylmarch9293]

What a wonderful trip you had and thank you for sharing your trip with all of us! I want to go to Paris now! I had to chuckle, I’m like you, all focus is the plane stays in the air, with a drink in hand. And a movie. No sleeping gets done, no stitching. Oh goodness. But what a lovely trip you had!

[@debraquilts8030]

Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful trip to Paris. It was delightful and so amazing. My favorite was the Paris Opera House. I don't have the opportunity to travel so this was so wonderful to see. Thanks again. Happy Easter.

[@pampeterson3092]

Thanks for sharing your Paris trip with us, and I am so glad you had a wonderful time.

[@bethflorentino3169]

Thank for sharing your wonderful trip to Paris 🤩 Your photos were just amazing!!

[@sheliaelder5077]

Thank you for sharing your trip with us. I really enjoyed all that you shared. Such beautiful things to see.

[@lee-annbender5515]

What an absolutely beautiful video. I got to see Paris and now have a list of things I need to see one day. Thank you for sharing

[@gleehanson4775]

Oh, the Paris Opera House! I'm a huge fan of Phantom! Oh, my. That would be my #1 choice. Well, maybe. The chandelier and the paintings, and the grand ballroom (I'm hearing Masquerade). Chris , I can't say how much I loved your trip recap pics and telling about them. You provided so much info to we regular people (who will probably never visit Paris). When one tries to get videos about these places they just are not practical or "real" like yours. The smaller museums magnified, not just the Louvre(obviously , we all want to see that too). Truly an excellent job, Chris. Thank you!

[@carolynmiller0424]

Thank you for sharing your amazing pictures, details and enthusiasm. The opera house was breath taking. I can see why you were emotional. I missed my chance to go to Paris, and your photos and descriptions made me feel as if I was there with you both.. Thank you for sharing with us .

[@sugarplumstitcher]

I am so glad it was a wonderful trip. Thank you for sharing the stories and pictures.

[@CLynne]

What a wonderful trip to Paris! Thank you for sharing all of your fantastic photos.

[@iriscope6798]

Wonderful travel log. We just love Paris and hope to get back before I get much older.

[@PegC52]

Chris, such a lovely time reliving Paris with you. I lived in the UK for 17 years and had a number of opportunities to spend time there. The Dorsey is still my favorite museum of all time. While in the UK I also had the privilege seeing Nureyev in Swan Lake. The man could leap.

[@lesliekendall4233]

Thank you for sharing. So beautiful. ❤

[@larcalea]

Thanks for the mini vacation! Your photos are spectacular!

[@debbieweigle8420]

Wow what a beautiful trip. Just breathtaking. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@debbieflaugh4332]

Your trip looked amazing. Thank you for sharing. Glad you are back safe and sound.

[@paulatullos4698]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures from your trip to Paris. The Opera House was amazing. I know you had a wonderful trip.

[@gloriaurrea7916]

Chris, I am happy you are back. It sounds like you enjoyed yourself during your trip. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@Janalynnmillen]

It was so fun to see Paris through your eyes. Thank you for sharing.

[@grmanat]

Loved hearing about your trip and seeing your pictures. I will never go in person. Thank you for sharing!

[@andrea_can_2]

Thank you for sharing your trip as it happened on IG and this wonderful recap. It looks like you had a wonderful time!

[@charj57]

What a wonderful holiday. My husband and I took our 6 and 5 year old daughters to the Phantom. That was 30 years ago but they never forgot it at that young age. Thank you for sharing

[@pattyso]

You to me right back to high school French classes! ❤

[@hedylack1004]

I needed a vacation! Thanks for taking us along, so enjoyable. Glad you got to go❤️

[@shirleybrinkmann2851]

The pictures you shared are beautiful. Thank you for sharing them and your adventures. I too can’t stitch on a plane. I always take it thinking I can but never have.

[@deehansen5490]

Sounds like a fantastic trip! Loved all your descriptions of the places you visited! Rest and stitch!

[@pkpenn]

OMG!!! We have to share our favorite Sauvignon Blanc!!!! That's what I was drinking during your beautiful recap of Paris!

[@StonezFan1964]

Thank you for sharing with us your trip to Paris. It sounds like you really enjoyed yourself. ❤

[@deniseperreault]

Thank you for sharing! I’ve never been to Paris. It was nice to see & hear about the places you visited. Also, as a Southern New Englander with family in NH…we refer to this 5th season as “Mud Season “… Take Care & Happy Stitching!! 🪡🧵🪡

[@donnamccaffrey4364]

Love the pictures, thank you for sharing.

[@mrsmiggins6435]

Thanks for sharing your time in Paris. Happy Easter🐣🐔🤗🤪

[@sandiealford7288]

Thank you so much for sharing your trip!! The photos were awesome!

[@radiante595]

Thank you so much Chris for sharing your trip with us. I'm glad you had such a good time! I love visiting museumsI have always wanted to visit Paris to see the opera House, Notre Dame Cathedral and the museums, especially the Louvre, is one of my bucket list items. Take care. See you soon!

[@2teddybearz]

That was an awesome show! I have never been to Europe so thank you so much for the “tour”. Your Flosstubes are spectacular 🎉. I only know about “Whistler’s Mother” because of the Mr Bean movie 😂

[@phapy2451]

Thanks for sharing your trip, you brought great memories of Paris for me as well. I don’t stitch on the plane, either, I want to relax with a glass of sparkling wine and watch my movie. Have a blessed Easter, hopefully snow free.

[@SewManyThings]

Lovely! Thank you for sharing!!

[@charlotteburkhardt4903]

Loved seeing your pictures, and hearing you talk about it all. I’ve been very blessed to see Paris a couple of times, and the Opera house was also one of my favorites. Just to think a girl from Alabama could see these things is overwhelming! Sad news to share, they announced today that Birmingham Southern will indeed be closing in May. Such a shame they couldn’t save it. Thanks again for sharing,and always War 🦅!

[@NotWhatSheSeams]

Oh that was so much fun to hear about your trip and glad you made it back safely. It brought back memories of the weekend trip my British friend and I took from her place to Paris for the weekend. Of course there was a transportation strike at the time in ‘95 and we didn’t get to see everything we wanted to, but the memories are still wonderful and it gives me an excuse to go back. Thanks again for sharing your experience and photos! Take it easy!

[@judemack8604]

Your adventures in Paris looked like a wonderful experience for you. Your photography is amazing and your emotional stories about the Opera House was moving. So glad that you are back home to share it all with us.

[@grisharishiy6695]

Thanks a lot for the story of Opera House. I know many theatres from audience and from back stage. And it's still very attractive for me. 😊

[@presbymom]

What a great trip! I’m glad you focused on keeping the plane in the air!

[@caitlinherr1879]

Thanks for sharing Chris! This took me back to so many memories of my trip to France after high school graduation with my crew of friends where we went to some of these places!

[@pmillermac]

Thank you for sharing your travels with us - that Opera House ❤

[@minnesotaprairiestitcher9098]

What an incredible trip you took us on! Great photos and stories about your experience!

[@marilynferlitsch2003]

This was a fabulous video. Thank you for sharing all of the gorgeous pictures. We are having the same weather here in WI. Warm, cold, snow, rain. We were married on April 9th, it was 30 degrees with 2" of snow on the ground. Marilyn

[@kathyn4267]

Love seeing Paris as I don't think I will ever be there. Glad you had a good time. Looking forward to your next video.

[@nicolec2523]

Hi Chris - Thank you for this travelogue - I am French Canadian and I have never even been to Europe, much less Paris. I also know that I will never be able to go there so this was really nice.

[@roxannegreen5722]

Awesome video. Looks like your trip was a great one. Loved it as usual. See you in 2 weeks. Happy Stitching 🪡😊

[@patriciaward9362]

Thank you SO much, Chris, for sharing all the photos of your trip and sharing your thoughts of Paris. Glad you had a wonderful trip. 😀 That grand ballroom in the opera house blew me away!! I've never seen anything like it! I've been to Rome twice and the inside of all churches, especially St. Peter's Basilica, are stunning, but that ballroom certainly rivals any of them! I'd love to go to Paris one day. I took French in high school for three years and remember a lot of it so I know I'd do fine. So sorry to hear about your pine trees. I hope you don't lose them. Here in Missouri it is supposed to get down to the mid 20's tonight after having a false spring! I had to go out and cover a few tender plants, like my Virginia Bluebells, that have the tender green foliage up already. Hope they survive. 🙂

[@carolmchargue7746]

Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. It's my intention to go to Paris within the year but I'll see how things go. Been a long life dream of mine. All that burgundy velvet just made me swoon. I'm a velvet freak. Glad you went and conquered!!

[@bfaye909]

Thank you for sharing. It is a fabulous place!

[@gently_smiling_jaws]

Thank you for sharing your trip with us! (As a Phantom fan myself I particularly enjoyed that you had such a wonderful time at the opera house.)

[@FlossBossinCousins]

What beautiful pictures! I’m sure you had a wonderful time!!!

[@sherryzimmerman9220]

“FIELD TRIP FIELD TRIP”…..what a EXQUISITE presentation Chris…..this is the best of Social Media when beauty and art are shared with friends…….I TOO help to keep that plane up in the air and on course….everyone has a specialty…..Happy Easter

[@jodidrehmer8624]

I can't even....I choked up when you were describing the Paris Opera House. Phantom is one of my absolute favorite musicals and I was fortunate to see it twice on Broadway before it closed. I'm sure it was better in person, but your pictures were stunning. So glad you had a great time. I've never been to Paris, don't know that I could survive the plane trip. 💜

[@kathyl4692]

Sounds like an amazing trip. thanks for sharing.

[@misheyp.5103]

What a beautiful trip, thank you for sharing with us Chris!

[@robinselby1]

Oh my how wonderful and the beauty is striking❤ I did spit my beverage out when you talked briefly about the Mona Lisa! My mom had a reproduction of her beautifully framed hanging in her and Daddy’s bedroom when I was little( in the 70’s) and I was scared of the Lady who always starred at me😂 well I have her now and she turned backward and wrapped . Beautiful but creeps me to this day! I know that’s awful but I can’t! I’m so glad you had an amazing adventure and thank you for sharing!

[@faithbraulik8524]

Chris Great memories I’m so glad you had a beautiful trip Stay warm

[@theinlandseastitcher]

Love phantom of the opera - loved seeing the opera house through your eyes!!

[@pinkkitty5844]

I enjoyed the recap of your vacation. Maybe one day I will go to Paris myself.

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

I loved hearing about your trip to Paris. Stan and I went several years ago to perfect weather. My dear friend, John and his husband, have a studio apartment and hosted us for 10 days. I think we walked 77,000 steps. The only day John cut us loose was our trip to the Lourve. We went very early when the doors opened and did get to see the Mona Lisa practically by ourselves. We had one of the beautiful pastries you showed, the “nun”. Thank you for sharing and bringing back so many wonderful memories.

[@patgoodchild8045]

I am so glad you had a good trip. Paris is a lovely city. We are still waiting for spring here in the UK, the daffodils are over and the tulips are beginning to flower BUT we have had continual rain for what seems like forever so impossible to sit in the garden and enjoy the flowers and longer days x

[@cathynanz9637]

Thank you so much for sharing your trip! I am afraid of flying. Been on one flight from Cleveland to Charlotte for a conference for work. Will not ever be going to Europe. Have always loved art! Really appreciate visiting vicariously.

[@AllisonDyer-kj3ne]

I’m new to your channel and have enjoyed your last few floss tubes. I am going back to watch the earlier ones that you have posted. Loved traveling to Paris with you via your photos and descriptions.

[@ChrisXrossStitch]

So glad you have you here, and thank you so much! Welcome! xoxo Chris

[@sallydiehm9327]

Thank you, Chris. I picked up a passport application when I was at the post office yesterday. I'm about to plan some kind of European adventure. Greece, maybe? Thanks for the inspiration.

[@sherryrudder6035]

Thanks for sharing your trip. Glad you had a great time.

[@stephanieabeyta3620]

Welcome back and thanks for sharing those amazing photos and the details of your trip. Paris is an amazing city and it sounds like you really got to enjoy it. I've been a few times for work so that made the trips stressful for me instead of fun. I did get to go a couple times in December and that part was very magical.

[@allthestitcheswithcolleen4402]

Oh my goodness, Chris. I just guffawed like a hyena when you said you couldn’t stitch on the plane because you had to concentrate on keeping it in the air. 😂😂😂 I know just what you mean about the anxiety of travel. I never want to go and dread it but when I do, I have a fabulous time. (Normally can’t wait to get home, but that’s another story.) Post-COVID travel is even more stressful. Your lovely photos of Paris brought me back to when I visited years ago with a friend. I felt the same way about the Musee D’Orsay (sp?). It is phenomenal. Also felt that the Louvre was incredible but so overwhelming. I find I’m drawn to sculpture also, and your photos of them are magnificent. I didn’t visit the Opera House but now wish I had. It looks out of this world. Your emotions around it are just lovely. It reminded me of a woman I met through my work years ago. She was a poet and, like me, a lifelong Red Sox fan (poor us!) She had battled depression and ill health for years. We were involved in an enthusiastic conversation about our team, which was having an exciting year, and she stopped and said, “Isn’t it wonderful to love something so much?” I never forgot that moment of recognition and thankfulness. And so, leave it to me to connect the opera house to the Red Sox. Welcome to my world!!! Thanks for this wonderful episode of Chris [not] Cross Stitch! ❤

[@sharonmarie66]

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

What an amazing trip! Thank you for sharing!! 😊

[@joanneneufeld8212]

That was a wonderful trip you shared with us!!

[@jodempsey3761]

I'm so jealous! I haven't been in years. I remember being in the Grand Ballroom and trying to imagine it all lit by candles back in the days before electricity. I didn't realize the enormity of The Louvre when I went and you definitely have to pick and choose what you want to truly see.Probably why I prefer smaller museums like The Gardner that you can take your time and truly see things and process what you are seeing. Although the Getty is still one of my favorite museums in the world. I'm so happy you were able to see and do and taste so many wonderful things! Welcome Home!

[@Busymomstitcher]
