Maitresse,Lauren Elkin says I "visually trope". I figuratively jump from subject to subject finding connections. Friends say I'm "scatter brained". The French call itSauté du coq à l'âne. Lauren is a writer, critic, blogger, scholar and the author of, Flâneuse, Women Who Walk the City.
I love the details at Payard Patisserie. Look down and see tea cups on the floor. Look up and molded croissants in the ceiling.
I was early so I ordered Mint tea and waited...enfin Maitress arrived
We laid our cards on the table first thing. Our MOO Cards!Hers are all Venice and mine are all macarons
Maitresse/Lauren drank Earl Grey..she's in New York from Paris for just a few days. Payard Macarons and Cherries, original watercolor, 9" x 12"
I love all the yellow striped boxes and ribbons and cards atPayard

Hi, I’m Carol Gillott, watercolorist, former NYer living on Île Saint-Louis in a 21 meter chambre de bonne. I send out Illustrated letters 💌 monthly from Paris. Travel writer, Paris blogger, watercolorist, photographer, I share my personal experiences so you can walk around Paris vicariously in my shoes. I paint Paris your dreams and mail them ❤️ wherever you are. Receive an illustrated letter every month from Paris, France via Etsy.
Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…
I hope you have a safe and happy holiday and a great new year!
