Alliance Française de Philadelphie Exhibition

J.Roget Champagne Who knew you could find Champagne like this?
'medium dry with crisp fruit flavors - aromas of apple and pear are balanced with a bouquet of toasty, yeasty notes and floral nuances' And for all of $5 bucks (shhhh - a pastry chef shared his secret brew with the Philadelphia Alliance Francaise...) My sister kindly brought les fromages Francaises to boot...
I ran over to Philadelphia Friday afternoon.

And hung the show.Photo by Bonnie Squires Photos by Bonnie Squirers

And so many PBers showed up!!!
Photo by Bonnie Squires Big Merci! You cleaned off the walls too!

Quite a few Paris cats found new homes.

Carol Gillott And Paris dogs.

Carol Gillott Champagne and

Carol Gillott Bonbons were a favorite.
Carol Gillott As were Paris fishmongers.
BEAR did NOT make it to Philadelphie.

But fortunately a PBer,Janet brought along her bear, Pan, da bear.
Again I forgot to taste a thing. There were tropical fruit macarons this time from Mad Mac and everyone was raving.

Later I got a French lecon from my petit niece's daughter, Shira.
Bonne idee non?
I got lecons in Swahili (piki-piki) and Italian too before my head hit the pillow.
A terrific book for kids and adults from Funix.
THANKS SO MUCH PBers FOR COMING to my AF show!

    Would love to have you do a showing in Columbus, you wouldn't even have to bring your own macs as we have a wonderful bakery here that does them and J. Roget is an easy find! Still loving my picture... Cindy

  12. Sorry but a "bunny day" can't possibly be a good idea! I could really use some of that Lillet now!

  13. My aunt who taught French used to always say the "bunny day" line. Made me think of her with love.
