Happy Paris Valentines Day Letter!

February Valentine letters went out in la poste today. Hooray!

I celebrated at La Maison du Chocolat.

A nice surprise for Bear. Non? Doodly doodly do

I could have gone for these La Duchesse red minis but I can paint the heart-shaped box next year.

Heart-shaped bouquets at La Vie en Rose

Diptyque has a new limited edition perfume for you for Saint-Valentine.

They said it was litchie and...something or other. Pomplemousse?

Very fresh, citrusy and leger (light).

You'll be dancing on air...in your Paris Repettos.

Did you wear something red today?

Do French girls really wear this wild lingerie?

Marie Tournelle's vitrine was full of Valentine cards.

Everything is coming up roses. This February is the 3rd anniversaire of my letters from Paris. Everyone gets a little gift for supporting my Paris letters and watercolors on ETSY. A mini half-size chocolate map comes with the new Valentine letter. Thank you PBers!!
Happy Valentines Day. Bisous bisous from Bear too

    3. It takes blood, sweat and tears...plus madeleines to produce a blog.
      Not everyone is cut out for it.. Many fall by the wayside...many are lost and forgotten.
      Some just fase away into the vista...zzzzzzzzzzzz

    4. gosh if haven't got something nice to say don't say anything-nobody is writing a thesis here or preparing for some formal presentation it's a conversation.....keep your negativity to yourself....no one asked you to be the grammar police or a proof reader-

  17. What lovely shop windows in Paris, thank you for sharing these lovely places with us! I love your blog and Paris Letters/Maps, so happy anniversary and here's to many more years.

    Tell that rude post to get lost (I've been speaking French since I learnt it at school and still do - with mistakes and wrong words - but I enjoy it and I'm not going to apologise for not being perfect.)

  18. Love that pop-up rose card! But I wonder what was inside those little red La Duchesse hearts...
