Who knew you could find Champagne like this? 'medium dry with crisp fruit flavors - aromas of apple and pear are balanced with a bouquet of toasty, yeasty notes and floral nuances' And for all of $5 bucks (shhhh - a pastry chef shared his secret brew with the Philadelphia Alliance Francaise...)
My sister kindly brought les fromages Francaises to boot... 
I ran over to Philadelphia Friday afternoon.
And hung the show.
Photos by Bonnie SquirersAnd so many PBers showed up!!!
Big Merci! You cleaned off the walls too!
Quite a few Paris cats found new homes.
And Paris dogs.
Champagne and
Bonbons were a favorite.
As were Paris fishmongers.
BEAR did NOT make it to Philadelphie. 
But fortunately a PBer,Janet brought along her bear, Pan, da bear. 
Again I forgot to taste a thing. There were tropical fruit macarons this time from Mad Mac and everyone was raving.
Later I got a French lecon from my petit niece's daughter, Shira.
Bonne idee non? 
I got lecons in Swahili (piki-piki) and Italian too before my head hit the pillow.

Congratulations Carol...I am not at all surprised the show would be a sell out. I love the mounts by the way....xv
BUNNY...EXPO!
I knew you would do well :)
Sorry BEAR couldn't make it but at least ONE bear was present.
PBers are very accomodating.
Wish we could have been there too.
BRAVO
It all looks so fun and beautiful. What?! no mac tasting, Carol?, I am shocked...but I am sure you were a busy hostess. And now I find myself web surfing for J.Roget champagne and the funix books ....what cool tips. And your Etsy shop too...have a lovely week...keep warm.
Would love to have you do a showing in Columbus, you wouldn't even have to bring your own macs as we have a wonderful bakery here that does them and J. Roget is an easy find! Still loving my picture... Cindy

Sorry but a "bunny day" can't possibly be a good idea! I could really use some of that Lillet now!
My aunt who taught French used to always say the "bunny day" line. Made me think of her with love.
Congratulations, Carol!!! So happy for you! Sound like great fun.
Carol,
That was me with the bear - Pan, da bear!
