People think about it more IMO.Not just as a way to shout louder than other brands but as a way to say something poetic and expressive.The traditional attention to detail plays a role too.Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-1150433739527645552006-06-16T00:55:00.000-04:002006-06-16T00:55:00.000-04:00I love all the images you've taken.

Admittedly I sat down in the salon so I wouldn'd have to wait on the long line in the shop...<BR/><BR/>Moi - I never did taste the "rose" macarons...next time. I love the story of the Laduree-painted kitchen. The light is different in Paris. I don't even think Ladurée's walls are that color-it's used skillfully as an accent no one can forget.Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-1150328899366322302006-06-14T19:48:00.000-04:002006-06-14T19:48:00.000-04:00Carol I love your site and your watercolors, they'...Carol I love your site and your watercolors, they're wonderful!<BR/>I felt I had to comment on this particular post because I've been in love with ladurée for years and that elusive "green" is one of my favorite colors. In a recent issue of the american House & Garden the creative director of Anthropologie's apartment is showcased and he had his kitchen painted in the Laduree green. Apparently they found it very difficult to get it just right! <BR/>Oh, have you ever tried the rose macarons?
