Piece Montee,watercolor,5.5" x 7.5"
Yesterday I couldn't find my bank card + 2 credit cards = eeep! In the mad search for them, I decided to clean out all my Paris souvenirs lurking in my studio. Hoping what? That I might find my cards among them? Qui sait.. The point is I found so much paraphrenalia, I decided I could open a macaron franchise here in Astoria, NY! I certainly have enough business cards to get going.
AND quite a few free postcards, a couple of stickers and a brochure or two.
But we do have a nice supply of teapot holder thingies.
BON JEUDI!
(this is a repost)
Dont be greedy! Bring us back some macaroons and other souvenirs. I became wistful when I saw that you are soon returning to Paris. I volunteer to go on a leash. I will practice barking.

I love the pastel greens. I have yet to taste a macaron, maybe you should open a store......
ReplyDelete(I'm so glad that the market has bounced back, too :)
Bonjour Carol!
ReplyDeleteWow, you do have a Laduree collection. So glad you found your cards, and that you have another trip to Paris coming up. Pack your warm clothes - winter is here.
Have a fabulous macoron filled day!
How funny that no one so far has recoginzed that this is a repost (even though you stated that it is) from October 2008 and that reports of a market rebound and an upcoming trip to Paris were true....fifteen months ago!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you re-posted. That's a goody! And I guess we know now if we did not before where it is that you do actually sample the merchandise REPEATEDLY! Believe me, I have no quibbles with your choice! Just wish I had so many Laduree souvenirs! Mine would probably just show up on my thighs!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen this yet?

Feature on David Lobovitz's site; apparently getting good reviews
I believe you should call your re-posts "Classics"!
ReplyDeleteHi, Carol.
ReplyDeleteI was over at Galleries Lafayette today, and guess what? They have little guest soaps in the special Christmas gift department that look just like macarons. Lovely little things---have you seen them? Yes, I'm am here in Paris through New Years. Life is good.
What? I kept holding my breath, worrying about your credit cards, only to find out that all that suspense was for a repost? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am still grateful for the beautiful reminders of your Laduree excursiosn, though.
So good to hear you get to go back for more so soon!
I1m a macaron adict, I confess. Dying here!!
ReplyDeleteCarol, no matter what adjectives I use to describe Paris Breakfasts -- it can only be good! There's no other option. You've got consistently got the best street-scene features in all of blogland, AND you've got the best window-display pix out there as well. Two blue ribbons for one blog; not many accomplish that! :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend,
Michael
you do know their macarons are machine made?
