Macaron Ladybug, art on Etsy, 9" x 11"
Lady bugs/ coccinelle are lucky in France. 
I hope they're lucky in New York. 
Because Park Avenue is littered with them from 57th street. 
As well as giant pink roses for Spring.
Created by artist Will Ryan for the Parks Sculpture Commission.
Macy's Flowers Show is blooming with REAL flowers. 
In Lalique's Madison Avenue windows the flowers are glass of course.
Jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels has flowers growing out of it's windows but the diamonds are kept safely behind the glass - quelle dommage.
Be sure to water your neckties! 
Or why not sit down on a flower chair and eat off flower plates? 
A floral purse... 
To go with your Bergdorf's red flowered dress. 
Or better yet, wear a pink rose at the neck with a dress of macarons from Macaron Cafe on 59th street. 
They even put pistachio chips/bits on the outside! 
These birdies were hankering after my macaron pistache, with or without chips.
BONJOUR BLOOMING NEW YORK!
I do believe I am the first! You are online as a write. How fabulous. I love ladybirds as we call them down under - gorgeous. I am so jealous Macy's flower show -wow. You have the best of both worlds x
ReplyDeleteGreat way to end the week, Carol!
ReplyDeleteI really love those reflections within reflections in the Van Cleef & Arpels windows.
I hope that you fed that birdie :)
Have a great weekend!!
Beautiful painting and Park Avenue looks great, I spotted also tulip leaves!
ReplyDeleteBtw, word verification: Pesto :-)
Lady bugs are lucky in California, so I would think they're lucky in new york too :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures, and I want that macaroon.
Love the painting!! Love the pics...and that cute bird!! beijo!
ReplyDeleteOh this is wonderful. I am missing on in SO CAL right now. we always went this time of year.. thanks for showing this now. I am in heaven!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I wanted to see those flowers on Park Ave! Lovely, Carol! I noticed you visited Claudia's blog--so nice of you. But then, you just are sweet. Thank you. x0x0
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun post! Love the PINK roses along Park AVenue and the flowers in Macy. Lucky you to live in such an exciting and always busy city!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun weekend
Maybe I should make those pistachio macs...would that make you happy?
ReplyDeleteLovely Carol! There's so much of this glorious city to explore. I love how all - humans, animals, trees, flowers - are waking up from their winter's slumber. Hope you enjoyed Macaron. I know it probably doesn't compare to Paris!
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring!
Hello Carol. Once I got back from Washington, I've been spending too much time in meetings, and other indoor locations. Must check out that MC on 59th street, and some of the other delights you've show us.
ReplyDelete(After doing the laundry, of course.)
I love the light touch of a ladybug landing on me. It does always seem like a bit of luck has arrived.

What an awesome post! i really loved the Van Cleef add and the flower plates! Gorgeous post!

Catherine,
ReplyDeletethese macarons 'look' right, but in fact they are way too cakie for me, too sweet and missing the delicacy of a French meringue cookie. And those 'feet' can not be correct - too much feets in my humble opinion, not that anyone asked...ahem
So lady birds equal ladybugs down under. Good thing to know indeed.
Merci Suzi!
Stunning images of Spring in NYC!!
ReplyDeleteLOve the florals, the ladybugs the art it all!
Carol, come and enter my very fashionable giveaway from the French Basketeer!!
xoxo

Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures, I think i will enjoy traveling with you sometime, you like to pay attention to the same things I will notice, i will like you to see my Paris pictures, vitrines, flowers, dresses, desserts, shoes, etc. I am so glad I found your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing New York in Spring. Down here in Brisbane Australia it's autumn and grey. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Carol - Oh! to be in New York - this is very classy !! love all the flowers down Park Avenue.
ReplyDeleteWould you mind terribly if I took a little peck at your macaron pistache! only a teensy weeny peck.
Thank goodness the flowers have bloomed, and the ice cream man is ready!
ReplyDeleteIf ladybugs are lucky, then my house is the luckiest place in the world. There are ladybugs EVERYWHERE - they multiply by the day. I can't seem to convince them to move outside in the fresh, warm spring air.
ReplyDeleteThose huge roses are a dream!
May I steal that read flower dress from Bergman's? ;-)
ReplyDeletece petit tour à New york me donne la nostalgie,même sous le soleil provençale.
ReplyDeleteBelle semaine
