P comme Porte Etiquette

 I love porte etiquettes❤️

One of my obsessions is the porte etiquette.You only find these pastry stands in France. I got one the last day of Fauchon's New York closing sale.

It took me forever to find out the name of these  pastry card holders. I'd KILL for a shield signs.

 There's nothing like a French handwritten sign with wonderful French écriture on it like these in the marché.


This mini ardoise is a keeper.

Fleuristes go for the porte etiquette.

This sign is like a recipe at Cafe La Pâtisserie Viennoise..

A handwritten porte etiquette at Salon du Chocolat.
Why oh why didn't I get one? caramel...sigh

A printed porte etiquette. Very direct-no romance.

 Like reading a book-intellectual content at PIERRE HERME. Read and give it some serious thought. Even the title is poetic - Desire Individuel.

A pict-o-gram that says it all at gelateria ICE ON ICE in Les Halles.
Here's a 'porte etiquette' I'd love outside my door.
How about you?

    It took me a few seconds of focusing to realize that your first photo wasnt a window display in paris. Did those macarons come out of the freezer for that display? ;) You could do window displays. I used to collect the card holders from floral arrangements. It was hard to toss them away.

    Oh yes, those porte-etiquette are lovely indeed! Are you planning on including one in your next painting?

    I have to look for them around here. I only remember the ones Demel uses, see-through acryllic ones (how common!), but there the beauty in my eyes are the etiquettes (ivory heavy card stock with coffee-brown print) and the names they give to their pastries.

    Greetings Paris, thanks for visiting Londres earlier.

    I'll have a tarte framboise, please (although I always forget that underneath the framboises there's chocolate) and some of those white saponaria-type flowers.

    Anything you'd like from London?

    I simply love your posts !

    I am so impressed that you can still find new subjects and new photos.

    I am not sure, though, whether your lovely letters ease my PPD (Post Paris Depression) - or makes it worse !

    Kind regards,
    Gitte
