La fête des Mères

 And for maman this weekend...what are you planning?

 Why not run over to Eric Chauvin for some pretty fleurs?

 22, rue Jean Nicot 75007

 Pick out exactly the rose you want in the courtyard...

 Ah, the perfect pale pink bouquet pour maman tres rafinee.

 A quick Metro up to Printemps to get maman...

 Miss Dior Cherie by Christian Dior.

Pourquoi pas?

 You'll be so inspired by the windows..

 The perfect grosgrain pale pink ribbow.

 Pink ribbons everywhere...

 As if you were stepping into Christian Dior's atelier..

 Imagine you're the sorcerer's apprentice checking the new designs...

 For Miss Dior Cherie new bottle...

dring...dring

It's Natalie Portman...she wants to come by...

 Would maman like perfect pink suede slippers to go with her bouquet?

 Plus Pierre Herme's newest macaron, Jardin Parfume

I ate mine yesterday...exquise

 Une aquarelle pour maman?

 et une petite chien aussi...

Mais maman will NEVER eat Carte D'Or ice cream!

What were you thinking chouchou?

Call Amorino for a 'tulip' gelato delivered a la porte.

Nice to dream a little isn't it?

Bon Week-End all Parisbreakfast mamans et enfants!

Paris Pinks

 Thanks to you I wasted easily an hour this morning pinning Pinterest pinks. (An hour I don't have since I am NOT packed and this trip I would like to remember to take my makeup so I don't have to replace it for a lot more $$$ in Paris!).

We made these gorgeous pink framboise macaron shells at Chef Marthe Brohan's private class at her home.

More to come another time...

 Paris pink renoncules on rue Vavin.

 Pink French writing at Boulangerie Secco

 on rue Jean Nico

 Sooo pink.

 Spring pink yaourt at Monop!

 Put a pink ribbon on it and you know you're in Paris.

 At parfumeur Annick Goutal.

 On rue Oberkampf an R-rated pink bow.

 Hot, hot pink scarf goes on anything in Paris.

 Green leaves are essential to make your pinks PINKER on rue Raspail at Sunday Bio marche.

 A touch of green makes a marsipan bun from La Mere de Famille pinker.

 See, it's universal. 
Bears love ice cream!

 A pink gateau mold that looks surprisingly like the cover of Pierre Herme Pastries book.

What do you think?

 Along with inspiring me to make ice cream and showing me how to put a PIN IT button in my browser(!) my darling niece suggested I might...ummm...work on my posture.

This is a pink reminder.

Merci Louisa!!

Practice practice practice

Then I might look like this gorge Printemps watercolor illo by Aurore de la Morinerie TOMORROW in Paris! Please pray I get packed in time and I don't forget my MAKEUP etc.

Cheers, Carolgxxx
