Jeudi 14 fevrier Ma petit cho
There is something about anything petit that wins the heart/♥
Well this ♥ is easily won over by these petit feve of Hugo et Victor
I discovered that Guerlain has a plus petit version of their La Petit Robe Noire. What's not to love?
Petit striped Sonia gloves/gant = tres adorb
Pierre Herme has a well kept secret petit boite of bonbons de chocolat
The price has remained the same for ages petit10 euros and the flavors are as divine as ever
Another tiny treasure from the petit Limoge boutique next to Angelina
I've been thinking I'd like to paint petit plateau de petit dejeuner again.
I used to paint all the time. I miss having those breakfasts in Paris. If you have a good shot of a petit dejeuner you want painted let me know.
A petit pup of the day Have a GRAND VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!

Love breakfast---my favorite meal. Love all things miniature, too. I need to go walk by the Limoges shop next to Angelina. And perhaps bring home a Mont Blanc...
ReplyDeleteI didn't see any petit Mont Blancs in the window...ahem
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping me in almost constant touch with -- so many things. My own creativity, Paris, beauty, things that other amazingly creative people are doing (e.g. Rachel Khoo) and your own ability to pay attention and bring that attention to things worth noting.
ReplyDeleteYou make my day.
(I learned about you through Vivian Swift.)

Having trouble posting a comment, so I'm just testing this one hoping it will work !
ReplyDeleteI will never get the sex right of those p'tits though :)
DeleteYou too:)Hope you are wearing your RED pin:) And scarf and lipstick:)and glasses:)Oh and ballerinas..and Bear? A little scarf also.
ReplyDeleteI favor little things too..that small robe noire..how cute.
I've been watching Robin Wright on House of Cards..she wears the petite robe noire perfectly.
But I think all those characters could use a Red Riding Hood pin..RUTHLESS.
Ok it's working now so this was what I wanted to comment.. Love your petit(e)post. I too love the use of the word petit, comme mes petits-enfants est tres adorable, mes ils sont pas petit en hauter. just trying writing some French haven't written any for a long time so please excuse my grammar. 'et en plus j'adore mon petit dejeuner' as my other half always prepares it for me :-)
ReplyDeleteSmall, pardon, petitl is beautiful, indeed!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day, Carol!
Hugs,
Merisi

I passed their windows yesterday -
DeleteAll black macaron towers - bazaar IMHO
Didn't get it at all..so unfun and funereal
. Almost Victorian...
Looked nicer in the article. Too bad. Slaves to fashion week!
DeleteRick Steves has a travel podcast and some time last Summer he did an hour about Paris with Olivier Magny of O Chateau, who gave a wonderful description of how when and why Parisians use the word 'petit'! Look for it. You will love it. As I love your posts.
ReplyDeleteAdorable post! Love the little pup.

I love your sketches, nice to see an extra one thrown in!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite photos are the Pierre Herme chocolates.
I hope that you had a great V Day!
What gorgeous little petits! Those PH petits look divine. Lovely post as ever.
ReplyDeletePetit has all kinds of advantages. For example, as I write in the chapter "Small Is Good: Les Petits Plaisirs" in Joie de Vivre (in case there are some newcomers who didn't see Carol's earlier post), here's an excerpt: "Do you wonder why the French aren't fat? Here's the answer: portions are petites.
ReplyDeleteAnd why don't Frenchwomen get drunk when they imbibe at a dinner party? Because the glasses are never filled to the top as they often are in the U.S. Filling a glass up to the brim is a definite no-no!
OK, got to go spend a lovely "petit moment" with my petite three-year-old granddaughter!

Well, here's a children's book for you: Le petit livre rouge, de Philippe Brasser, published in 2008. It's one of my FAVORITES & it covers petit & rouge for you! Sounds like you're going to be getting back to painting!
ReplyDeletesorry, the author is Philippe BrassEUR...
