The garden shed
What a simple description of this little fairytale of a building...
a yellow turret with red trim sitting the midst of a tidy garden
This is my contribution to a five-color series of photos,
and with this I curtsy to yellow as bright as a sunflower.

This looks like a darling little playhouse!
It is so cute! It looks like it would have little gnomes or something living in it :)
That is one of the happiest colors. Love the litle house.
Hello Genie:
Now we should describe the colour of this delightful little building as Habsburg yellow, a colour which we very much like and one which is not uncommon in Hungary - a relic of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Definitely from a fairy tale.
A perfect yellow.
Very nice little cottage.
Have a lovely weelend.
Fascinating picture. Vivid colour, puzzling shape. Dwell there pixies?
Just had to comment........it's so vibrant and unique! Brilliant find!

Very happy and magical looking, Genie. Bon weekend, my sweet.
Very unexpected in Paris, but such a cute house!
Oops! I was there last week with the grandkids, but missed this little yellow shed! Your blogger eyes are better than mine! :-)
This grabs the eye. I need one near my garden. hahahaha
What a perfect find Genie, it's a dear little place, is it really for this garden's utensils? I want one.
What an adorable little shed! It's so cute and the colors are perfect for it. :)
Genie, I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend. I hope you didn't sustain any damage from Hurricane Isaac. Take care my friend. :)♥♥
I want one too...I have room here...but no garden!
What a magical little building.... would love to have as a potting shed!!!
How striking. This really caught my eye.
doesn't it look more 'Provence' than 'Paris'?
color and shape, both !
Hope isaac did not touch you !
A wonderful choice for yellow, Genie!
Beautiful shade of yellow.
Thank you for your comments. I thought that you might like this striking shade of yellow in Paris. It does remind me of the café terrace in Arles (Provence) and I think it may be Habsburg yellow as suggested by the Hattatts but I should probably verify that in person, oui?
Enjoy your weekend, all! Thank you for asking, Anni, but Isaac just gave our home a tremendous shake and wash... lots of wind and torrential rains!
Bises,
Genie
Ohlala, la petite maison du Jardin des Plantes! I was there one month ago :-) Beautiful photo, Genie.
Way too cute! Love it.
Great photo. I like everything about this "shed"!
Hi Genie,
How very kind of you to leave such a thoughtful note for me about the kitchen.. Thank you so much Genie.
It is nice to know that all the work is appreciated by your kind words. I like your mother's saying, and it's true... This is how I managed to finish.. I had no idea when I started how long it would take me... But you know, it matters not, as long as it gets done.
Bless you,
Penny
I can't count the times I['ve photographed this adorable shed!
