Thanks to you I wasted easily an hour this morning pinning Pinterest pinks. (An hour I don't have since I am NOT packed and this trip I would like to remember to take my makeup so I don't have to replace it for a lot more $$$ in Paris!). We made these gorgeous pink framboise macaron shells at Chef Marthe Brohan's private class at her home.
More to come another time.
Paris pink renoncules on rue Vavin.
on rue Jean Nico
Sooo pink.
Spring pink yaourt at Monop
Put a pink ribbon on it and you know you're in Paris.
At parfumeur Annick Goutal.
On rue Oberkampf an R-rated pink bow.
Hot, hot pink scarf goes on anything in Paris
Green leaves are essential to make your pinks PINKER on rue Raspail at Sunday Bio marche.
A touch of green makes a marsipan bun from La Mere de Famille pinker.
What do you think?
Along with inspiring me to make ice cream and showing me how to put a PIN IT button in my browser(!) my niece suggested I might...ummm...work on my posture.
This is a pink reminder.
Practice practice practice
Then I might look like this gorge Printemps watercolor illo by Aurore de la Morinerie TOMORROW in Paris! Please pray I get packed in time and I don't forget my MAKEUP etc.
Cheers, Carolgxx
What a colorful sendoff, Carol.
ReplyDeleteDon"t forget to take along some of that pink stuff in a bottle...just in case you eat too much of...whatever.
Looking forward to your Paris posts.
The Pink Stuff?
DeletePepto...that's what I have to bring French Girl
Ha!
Carol I love your quirkiness. And I LOVE PINK!!
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of photos. Must remember: "Put a pink ribbon on it and you know you're in Paris"
Have a good time and don't forget your make-up:)
TANKS!
DeleteI figured if I put it in BOLD it would help.
croise les doigts as they say..
Ha
DeleteLast trip I left WITHOUT lipstick and rouge!
I might as well have put a paper bag on my head..
And Laura Mercier may be a Fr name but the prix is way higher in Paris let me tell you :O

ReplyDeleteHere's a quest for you. Find us some adorable ballets (with or without pink) that we can actually afford to buy.
ReplyDeleteI do that daily in Paris Shoefreak
DeleteI am a serious ballerina comparison shopper!
But I just forget to buy :(
Paris Pinks sounds like the name of a book....
ReplyDeletethe rannuculus are amazing! And that pink scarf; perfection.

You go to Paris so often lately I think you should just keep a bag packed with essentials. My daughter travels a lot and keeps a bag of toiletries and make up ready to go at all times. It easier that way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Pink Posture reminder. We did that same move in yoga last week. Bon Voyage.
ReplyDeleteKind of like an Egyptian hieroglyphic IMHO without the belly dancing...
DeleteGlad to see that you are getting the hang of pinning :)
ReplyDeleteHave a safe flight and welcome back to France!
Have a great trip, Carol! I didn't even realize you were heading back already. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteOh My! Now that I've discovered your Paris Pinks on Pinterest I'll NEVER stop Pinning!!!
ReplyDeleteBon Voyage! Amusez-vous bien! Bises. Connie*
I'm totally hooked too
DeleteNot to find out about the blog footer..
Then I'm set to go
merci for all the help
too much fun!

ReplyDeleteNow you make me lust for pink.
ReplyDeleteRanunculas rule
Great selection of things pink :)
ReplyDeleteI really love that last shot - the watercolor!
Have a great trip!
Oh how I wish I too were packing for Paris!!!! I love those ranunculas!!! As for pink in Paris, what about Fauchon? I was craving their chocolate eclairs yesterday ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry to be a pain, but bring Pink wellies, a Pink mac, a Pink parapluie and Pink outdoor clothing for Bear.
ReplyDeletethink what a bonus it would be to forget to pack your makeup...and be FORCED to invest in those luxurious French brands unavailable to the riffraff on this side of the ocean. Even if they cost the world, at least you'd be in a very exclusive club! Bon voyage!
ReplyDeleteSafe travel and bon voyage to you, Carol!

ReplyDeleteOh, this must be a delightful time to visit sweet Pah-ree. And pinterest....I have had to stay away for awhile. It is like the black hole for my time. Bon Voyage dear friend.
