More serendipity today.
Fauchon sent me a pink ribboned love note.
What would life be like without champagne, macarons,

| Chocolates. |
And French ribbon/ruban!
Fauchon even swathed a charlotte russe in extra wide pink ribbon.
The French have always been deeply attached to their ribbons, no pun intended.
Ribbons bring a sense of closure especially on chocolate boxes.
The French may even have invented ribbons/les rubans
I plan to go down to Ribbon City, St. Etienne this trip
(Photo c/o le petit coquin)
To see how they are made. Have you been?
French friends put a picture of their adorable newborn on Facebook.
I added the pink ribbon...
There's a RIBBON CITY in France?! Yes, please, take me there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute bébé:)
ReplyDeleteLucky one.. Ribbon City..Would love it as much as The Emerald City I think~The one at the end of the Yellow Brick Road..
My girls wore ribbons until they were old enough to know better and said no more:)
I don't think I ever wore a ribbon after age 5
Deletethough I have some Sonia ribbon headbands in the closet waiting
Very pretty and lyrical Fauchon is.
ReplyDeleteLove that deep pink!
I can't wait to see how it's done!
ReplyDeleteQuite a blast of eye-popping art work, Carol!
ReplyDeleteI like your watercolor of the baby!
Such a gorgeous post. It's wonderful how you pull together the ribbons from different sources. I love how France has things such as ribbon cities. I've been to the town where god makes copper pots.
ReplyDeleteWhat town is that Louise?
DeleteThe baby with a ribbon is the most lovely of all. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI recently discovered your blog and love reading it and seeing your lovely water colors.
ReplyDeleteThe ones I ordered are just beautiful and arrived so quickly.
I'll look forward to seeing more and adding to my collection.
I've never been to Ste-Etienne, you must tell us how it's like! :) Enjoy your trip this time! Sorry to miss you once again!
