As for La Bovida, want to go back and get these cute verrines with ze bendy spoons but the lady was so snooty, n'est-ce pas? Ouch - also had tea in the new opéra café yesterday. I SHOULD have complained but guess I was paying for the classical music. We need to have tea together again and complain next time ;-)Jill@MadAboutMacaronshttp://madaboutmacarons.com/leBlognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-29069932440363995722011-08-30T03:02:56.525-04:002011-08-30T03:02:56.525-04:00Hmm, I've never noticed myself having overly a...Hmm, I've never noticed myself having overly affectionate feelings for cafe glasses. I much prefer wine glasses! I've taken quite a few photos of glasses with white wine in them with something typically Parisian in the background. I love how the liquid turns the building, or whatever, upside down in the photo. The only cafe glass that I've wanted to photograph was when my husband ordered menthe a l'eau (water with mint syrup) because the color was so pretty. But I'll be sure to take a closer look at the cafe glasses when I'm out today.Mary Kay Bossharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08790841060667671034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-88900341103417515482011-08-29T20:47:46.109-04:002011-08-29T20:47:46.109-04:00Carol, as I read this post in our post-Hurricane I...Carol, as I read this post in our post-Hurricane Irene New York, I was sipping my iced coffee from a Duralex glass, one of six bought decades ago and still unchipped or broken.<br /><br />Viva la France!<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-74845457512638983892011-08-29T18:50:10.279-04:002011-08-29T18:50:10.279-04:00I just wanted to report (in case you haven’t seen ...I just wanted to report (in case you haven’t seen it) that in the Sept issue of Town & Country magazine, page 58 includes a one-page story about Ladurée will be opening a store in NYC soon—at 864 Madison Ave, between 70th and 71st streets. <br /><br />It’s a good article—you'll appreciate it—and they did not rip off one of your watercolors!<br />Cheers, <br /><br />KerryKerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-17391286175503683452011-08-29T18:20:11.662-04:002011-08-29T18:20:11.662-04:00I love the opening watercolor, really beautiful!

But that said, we have a million different kinds, as I'm a glasses/flatware/dishes fanatic. I painted some wine glasses with a design very similar to French Girl's glasses here, and I gave a set of them to Claudia one year, too. They were fun, but lots of work--you use glass paint, let it "set" for a full 24 hrs, and then bake them. God knows what carcinogens I inhaled doing those, but I love the way the glasses look, and they'll stay that way forever now!A Brush with Colorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07638723986208929476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-39826549981152062612011-08-29T13:02:35.063-04:002011-08-29T13:02:35.063-04:00Yes I found that site at the same time I came acro...Yes I found that site at the same time I came across yours, but the cost of postage here to the UK is nearly as much as the cups themselves :-( I love them but not almost $100 worth!!

I love that when you order a branded drink, whether it's beer, Orangina, whatever - it nearly always comes in the appropriate glass for the product. That just doesn't seem to happen here in the UK. I guess it's just good marketing by the drinks companies but it always makes me want to have the glass and I have to resist the temptation to 'adopt' it;-) Actually the very reason I stumbled upon your blog was because I was searching the internet to see if you could buy the Cafes Richard coffee cups that I covet so much and I came across one of your sketches!CarrieFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045699407723588845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-33527270180943432042011-08-29T12:38:54.996-04:002011-08-29T12:38:54.996-04:00Hi, Carolg!!
