Tiny Art: Eiffel Tower

When I was in ninth grade I started saving all my change. I was going to go to Paris. A good friend and I were in French class, and we both loved it… the language and the culture. (Hello? Chocolate.) So probably over crafting flower-embellished jelly shoes one day, we decided we’d finance a trip to Paris together by saving all our change. I saved all through high school, even after I’d moved to a new town.

We never made it to Paris together. I think I got to about $40. But we have had an international rendez-vous, and I think it’s an even better story than our original plan!

Fast forward about 14 years (4 years of pen-palling, then 10 years of lost contact), and my sweet friend Angela calls me out of the blue (thank you facebook). She’s in Prague! I say, “Cool! Where’s that?” Turns out she married a gent from there. Three months after that phone call, my husband and I go visit. We decide to move there. And here we are!

So for Angela’s birthday, I made a Tiny Art to celebrate how it all started.

Happy Birthday, Angela! And thanks for Prague.:)

(Funny enough, Prague actually has its own Eiffel Tower!)

(Petřín Tower is 1/5th the size of the actual Eiffel Tower, but thanks to the hill it stands on, it’s the same height in terms of elevation.)

    Ooo, nice work! Did you ever make it to Paris? Is that where the Cottey seniors went our year?

    • Well, Alissa – actually your senior trip was to London…but many Cottey girls spent the second week of spring break in Paris! I remember Amy thinking the tower was most beautiful at night all lit up.
