It inspired me to imagine I was walking in to get some pistache and rose macarons.
My very 1st Paris map was for Jill Colonna's book, Teatime in Paris. Jill is baking easy almond tuiles on YOUTUBE this week. I never for one minute imagined I'd be doing monthly maps back then. Ha.
Yesterday was the 1st un-locked day in Paris. It started out blustery with 19 mph winds. Bear ๐ป did not want to venture outside. At all. Fortunately we gathered up our courage, masked up and were thrilled to find our favorite copy shop open๐๐ป Hooray๐๐The Paris Breakfast shop is open and cookin'. "Hand me the envelopes" Please ๐๐๐ Stay safe dear PBers ❤️
Super sweet aquarelles and The Ladurรฉe Dream video to go w/ your aquarelles..perfect.Enjoy being out of lockdown..let's hope all these gradual things work.
I love that map but it will make me hungry every time I look at it. Be careful out there & take unlockdown slowly - we need you & Bear to stay safe & healthy.
Oh I'm going at it very slowly. Lockdown is my usual state anyway? The pools and museums dont open till June anyway. I'm not tearing to get out there though I did hit my fav stationary store yesterday.
Carol, your monthly map is absolutely stunning - and I’m so proud that you painted that scrumptious map to show off the recipes in teatime. I think the best part of Teatime in Paris was going to your apartment in Ile Sainte Louis and making financiers from the book together with Bear. Best time ever! Thanks so much for the link up to the video! Please look after yourself.
It looks good enough to eat! And so, too, do the lovely end paper maps in Jill's book. I'm sure the research was excruciating and I admire that you were able to buck up and take it on with good grace! Well done!
Although we can’t be in Paris at the moment eating these scrumptious desserts, i fortunately have Jill Colonna’s wonderful book, Tea Time in Paris. I’m off to the kitchen to whip up the next-best-thing: a treat from Jill’s book. Your posts are always inspiring. And thanks for the link to puff pastry.
Beautiful as usual. Catherine was wed to Henri II Marie(also de Medici and thus confusing) was 2nd wife of Henri IV Great book: The Serpent and the Moon. About Catherine and Diane de Poitiers
So glad you’re out and about as lockdown eases...and your copy shop is open...whoo-hoo! I envision you writing addresses on envelopes in your atelier with your pigeons looking on..
That is perfection...and your penmanship (is that word still used?), is lovely. Brava❣️
