And for maman this weekend. What are you planning?
Why not run over to Eric Chauvin for some pretty fleurs?
22, rue Jean Nicot 75007
Pick out exactly the rose you want in the courtyard.
A quick Metro up to Printemps to get maman.
Pourquoi pas?
You'll be so inspired by the windows.
The perfect grosgrain pale pink ribbow.
Pink ribbons everywhere.
As if you were stepping into Christian Dior's atelier..
Imagine you're the sorcerer's apprentice checking the new designs.
Would maman like perfect pink suede slippers to go with her bouquet?
Plus Pierre Herme's newest macaron, Jardin Parfume
I ate mine yesterday...exquise
Une aquarelle pour maman?
et une petite chien aussi.
Mais maman will NEVER eat Carte D'Or ice cream!
What were you thinking chouchou?
Call Amorino for a 'tulip' gelato delivered a la porte.
Nice to dream a little isn't it?
Bon Week-End all Parisbreakfast mamans et enfants!
How I would love to spend some time in Paris with my mom!
ReplyDeleteThoughtful post for all the Mothers out there in PB world.
ReplyDeleteLove the icy edible goodie in your watercolor.
Lovely ideas for any maman celebrating this weekend. Do you know there is now an Amorino on King's Road in Chelsea/London? Just waiting for you on your next visit!
ReplyDeleteThere is one on University Place enfin..
DeleteBut I refuse to pay $5+ for an ice cream
Somehow it feels different in Paris..
Why is that?
Lovely post...esp. the Printemps display. Your watercolor is absolutely luminous!
ReplyDeleteI'm treating myself to a PINK pedicure thanks to PINK inspiration from YOU!!!!! Merci.:) I can't find any red or pink ballet flats around here so I'm going for the toe effect. Have a beautiful weekend! Connie*
ReplyDeleteTout est si beau..comme d'habitude..
ReplyDeleteI have a miniature of that Miss Dior from a gift set from one of my daughters yrs and yrs ago..I kept the bottle trop cute avec la boucle:)
I agree the watercolor is so pretty Carol.So feminine.

ReplyDeleteThe pink is everywhere! Very nice soft colors - the flowers and the greenery.
ReplyDeleteI love the sketch - that is one heck of a bottle!
Perfume bottle design is a major big deal! it's where a lot of the $$$ goes + advertising promotion.
DeleteI have a beautiful collection of those giant "factice" bottles filled to the top. I have them on the top of a big chest in my bathroom (in Texas everything is big, you know), and I love them. Maybe one day, this one?
DeleteI would so love to be in Paris right now shopping for the perfect gift for maman!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
Love the watercolor. Love this whole post in fact. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Mother's Day present. Thank you so much. I must admit to being rather jealous of your sampling that new macaron- it looks magnificent!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous too...
DeleteI shoulda WAITED!
but gobbled it down in a weak moment...
I have a lot of those :(
My Mother's Day came early with a visit from Josh these last 3 days...it was perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder!!! Must send something to the States this week! #baddaughter
ReplyDeleteI'll just blame it on French Mother's Day that is next week...
These are such great photos! What beautiful visual merchandising Dior did! I'm a sucker for pink ribbons...so girly.
Bon week-end!
In general I love BRAND marketing in France.
DeleteI think it's the best but French Girl says US is better...
Definitely prettier more fem in France IMHO.
