Put A Bird On it


 Adorable little chickie in La Mere Du Famille window.

 And loads of chocolate eggs and nests as well.

 Annick Goutal nestles parfums in green grass.

 Au Nom de la Rose is showing greens for your petit balcon.

 Spring is in the vitrines (butnot the air)in Paris. I bought a cardi at Monop.

 Paris adores Pantone springie colors.

 You can color your life in Pantone completement.

 Pantonie kiddies shoes

 Serious, sobre white gauzy Spring dresses from Jacadi.

 Does Paris watch Portlandia? There are birds on everything?

 The Easter bunnies have invaded Paris.

 As have the chocolate chats at La Maison du Chocolat for Pacques.

 Even Monoprix is showing it's Spring colors for yogurt!
Bien sur Pierre Herme has his Springie macaron colors on. Today is Jour du Macaron Day! Big report demain/tomorrow.

  4. I am waiting (im)patiently for the report on Jour du Macaron... I hope that you and Jill are rounding the last PH pâtisserie as I am typing this! They have cut back from 3 macarons at each stop to one? Quelle horreur! Please tell me they are still giving a box of 35 for making it to all the shops.

    Wish I was there with you two and Bear!

    Bises,
    Genie

  11. Genius!!! Love all the Spring-iness. I'm always saying "put a bird on it" and usually nobody knows what I'm talking about!

  12. 2 sets of goatie kids just 3 & 4 days old are sure sign of spring here, Carol! And little fluffy chicks any day now! Your bright cherry post today lightened my spirits after just getting in from battening down the barn for the deluge that has us in flood watch. Look forward to Macaron Day report too!

  13. I want some real fluffy little yellow chicks. My wife won't let me get any. She's no fun! I guess I'll have to settle for some chocolate ones.

  19. Hey I've got a questions for you? How do you say:
    "Put a bird on it"
    in French.....Why do you ask? Well, I entered an Art Call for ten artists, to get ten items and to turn it into art in ten days. I want to title it....you guessed it....
    "Put a bird on it"
    However, I'm not French. You are the first thing that popped up on Google. Can you help?
