I'm late posting. Just 12 hours or so...
Five Macaron Boxes, original watercolor, 9" x 11"
Today is Paris Breakfast's 2nd birthday!
We are 2. YAHOOWe want to thank you for stopping by.
Gerard Mulot Macarons, original watercolor, 9" x 11"So lots of nicely tied up presents for you full of Paris macarons!
It took so long today to get this post together, I wolfed down some of the Parisien macarons I was saving for still lifes in the fridg. A one-month old macaron leaves a lot to be desired. Live and learn. Anyway if you've been lurking and wanting to say HELLO please do
THANK YOU!

ReplyDeleteI am one of your lurkers and have to tell you, Paris Breakfasts fills me with snapshots of the city of my soul. I fell in love the moment I stepped onto French soil and my love affair has been going strong for 20 years now. Thank you for what you do. I love to wake up and check my email, never knowing what goodies you have in store for me.
Cheers,
Lisa

Hello Carol,
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you remember me; I am the "mom" of the kitten Annie-Yoda, and I purchased one of your lovely watercolors last year.
Seeing your blog made me take steps toward a lifelong goal of learning watercolor painting.
Thanks again for all your inspiration! And welcome home!
Happy birthday, Paris Breakfasts!
ReplyDeletePoor little Bluebird, months old macarons for breakfast, how sweet of him to pose nonetheless so graciously on top of those pretty beribboned Ladurée boxes.
I hope you did get a really good cup of hot chocolate!
Merci from Vienne,
M.

ReplyDeleteBon Anniversaire Paris Breakfasts! I'm new to this blog, but truly love it. thanks for such inspirational posts. :)
ReplyDeletethere's this miniature craze in Hong Kong, it's probably an influence from Japan because they're selling boxes and boxes of the miniatures in the Japanese supermarkets.
