| This morning Mad About Macarons Jill sent me an email expressing expasperation with a very French, "Ouuuuf !" This page is from the brilliant, L'ABC des onomatopees par Bruno Gibert. |
I remembered I've not shown you any Parisian oeufs for Paques/Easter.
La Mere de Famille on rue Cler, is one of my favorite chocolate shops but it's closed on Sundays (at 8am).
Still the windows were full of delightful ouuuf/oeuf/eggy creations.
Liqueur-filled little eggs as well as chocolate-filled eggs.
Candy eggs sitting realistically atop a stack of hay gave a barnyardy feel to the window.
Unrealistically French lapin/rabbits think nothing of laying bird's eggs if they're chocolat.
Quite simple eggs strung together for a decorative effect like xmas lights.
Your classic foil-wrapped assorted chocolate eggs.
A touch of whimsey - is it a chicken or an egg? It's both and sitting in an eggcup no less.
When I returned from my early Sunday morning stroll French Girl was up and making breakfast.Her cashmere sweater is by Hector et Lola.com
Was she making une omelette?
Pas de tout.
She was making a classic bacon and eggs once-a-week Dimanche petit dejeuner.
A possible Jean-Babtiste Chardin painting in the making no?
Mmmm...
ReplyDeleteNot at all fair to end this post with one of my very favorite breakfasts.
I already had a healthy breakfast at 5:a.m.
OK; heading out the door for a mid-morning repast of what else; bacon and eggs.
Your fault.
Hahahahahha
Deletewhy not head to the drawing board instead?
I'm soooo tired...
I got up at 2 - good old Jetlag
I heading back to bed!
Welcome back and thanks for taking us along ~ also for the whimsical Carla link, by the way!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back.. hope you get over your jet lag soon. How come that breakfast of bacon and eggs looks more wholesome?
ReplyDeleteoh I should have added to that last statement.... then ours over here...
ReplyDeleteI like the metal molds of the fish and rabbit! The chocolate chicken/egg looks delicious, nevermind which he/she is :) Thank you for this post, delightful as always!
ReplyDeletebeautiful painting there at the end! Love it.
ReplyDeleteGawd I lurve her sweater!
ReplyDeleteShe is a brill dresser for sure.
Yup perfection!
Deletelove the little buttons on the neckline too...those French!
Can't wait to see your painting!
ReplyDeleteDo Parisians eat soft-boiled eggs in a glass?
That food looked good :)
ReplyDeleteThe Easter eggs look great - even if a bunny laid them!
Get some sleep!
Where can I get some of those exotic French chocolate-egg-laying rabbits?
ReplyDeleteouah would be wow! As I have never seen bacon for petit dej in province, though I like the still art.
ReplyDeleteLove it, Carol. Ouf, oeufs and Chardin is a great start to the day! Merci xo
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm giving myself an EGG white facial right now.
ReplyDeleteLooked at myself in the gym this morning. Oh my.
Not a pretty site!
I've been to that exact chocolate shop (I rented a rue Cler apartment when I studied at the Sorbonne). I remember that they wouldn't sell me just a couple of chocolates. I had to buy a whole box. "Non, mademoiselle" I was told. Hmmmfff. So French of them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovliness!
ReplyDeleteI love French windows! I hope to be there for Easter one year, to enjoy the seasonal change.
