Thanks to you dear PBers ❤️ I went back to buy more stamps on Thursday. Then I went dancing round town ๐คธ๐พ♀️
Some lovely Springie windows at perfumer Durance of Provence.
I had high hopes of finding pink envelope stuffers for you at Nina’s Marie-Antoinette, but tragically they were closed.
I bought his many-splendored tarte but it was easier to eat than to paint ๐
So tempted by the strawberry-citron-banana juice ๐ค
Yesterday I saw a little French girl en famille, carrying a flat of strawberries. Monkey see, monkey want. This time of year you see people waltzing around town proudly displaying their flats of strawbs, never hidden inside a bag. Monoprix had them for a mere 3,99€ ๐คธ๐พ♀️ Course they’re from Espana, considered inferior to French berries, but what the hey. Plus the obligatory can of Normandy Isigny whipped cream. The French traditionally make a parfait of multi-layered cream and berries. Quite outrageous. La la la la la.
Another foodie news alert*** write this down dear PBers ✏️ Berthillon has new little cookie baskets just big enough for 2 scoops. Natch I’m eating fraise ๐
Here’s a touch of complimentary green from fancy men’s store Charvet also on rue Danielle Casanova. And more touches of new green buds along the Seine as I lean over Pont Marie. Parisians are flaneuring around comme d’habitude. Bonne Dimanche PBers ๐ธ๐๐คธ๐พ♀️
what a colorful, spring filled post of your dancings and munchings through Paris.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol for sharing your Paris dances! I am dancing, too. Grew up with Peonies & a few ants on my Mother’s dining room table.
ReplyDeleteI hope you paint them..don’t forget the ants.๐
Love red fruits...and peonies...spring’s delights. France has the BEST strawberries! With that can of Isigny cream you and Bear can create your own outrageous parfaits.
ReplyDeleteRead somewhere that Jane Birkin buys her trousers at Charvet...she likes all the pockets on men’s trousers...oh, to have those long slender legs!
Berthillon has a new delivery system for their ice cream?? Reason 3,567,002 to return to Paris...tout de suite❣️
‘Delivery system’? Haha
ReplyDeleteTheyy dont even have computers in there
Very old fashioned :))
Delightful post, Carol...a real Paris “fix” to tide us over.

Oh My! Pink, peonies, strawberries, ice cream, pastries, beautiful spring windows - it must be Paris & what more could one want? Thanks for such a cheery post, Carol.
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely in the pink here! Looks lovely. Now you have me hoping even more that my strawberry plants bear fruit -- early!
ReplyDeleteJeanie, they sell little pots of strawberry plants here like mad. I bought one of course and nuttin happened :((
ReplyDeleteBonjour tristesse. I’m sure yours are fab.
Thanks to your BEAUTIFUL missives, I’ve had nothing but shades of pink—shell, mango, rose, dusty, pearl, ETC.—on my mind.
