My sister went to Governor’s Island (in New York City) today.
Mary sent me some photos from her phone. You know she and I have been to a couple of carousels this year… Jane’s and Coney Island
Looked like a fun blog post in the making! She did just that! Thanks Mary. Her phone isn’t a smart one yet although I think it’s time to upgrade.
Fête Paradiso -Vintage French Carousel and Carnival Rides from the late 19th and early 20th century have been on display every weekend this summer, some to ride, some just to admire.

and there was an art fair going on as well
Wow! They are real classics 🙂
I love the characters on the carousel, especially the clown.
What a wonderful place to visit.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thank you for sharing. This was so different and I enjoyed the animals on the rides.
I don’t know why but some of those carousel animals’ faces freak me out! Guess I’m just weird!!
Great photos despite the “not smart” phone!
Is that cloud made of water bottles? Some of those carousel characters are truly unique. Thanks for sharing these!
The outside is milk bottles. The inside i is water bottles. Good eyes
Thanks for your comment today
That’s quite an assortment of carousels. Would love to have seen them. Nice of your Sister to think of us and send the pics. 🙂
That looks like a very old-school carousel – and in French, to boot? J’adore! [French seems to be around me these days: http://smilekiddo.wordpress.com/2013/09/07/57-go-to-one-alliance-francaise-event/%5D I agree with you – time to get your sister a smart phone. I bet once she has it she’ll love it!
