By the time you read this I’ll be clutching my new carte de sejour/visa card๐ค I’ve been trying to get a rendezvous/appt since September.
Its like playing roulette to get a time slot online.You pick from 10 numbers but keep coming up with zero. Try, try again, in the middle of the night and still you get zero.
With Covid things aren’t the same as they ever were.
Then last week I hit it lucky ๐คธ๐พ♀️๐
The other day running round getting visa papers in the rain I spotted this Citron tarte that looks like a donut. Plus a citron meringue that looks like an eclair! Naturalement I had to get them.
Coming home, they were slip, sliding away. Sadly they did not taste great...
No wonder in this big, silly cake box.
The lady in the red dress reminded me of the irreplaceable Alber Elbaz we lost last weekend to complications from Covid ๐ข He put bows everywhere including legs.
Every time I put up another single letter I hear Bay’s Single Lady..in my head.
Not exactly single but definitely singular, Marie-Antoinette letter is available in my shop
For those who dream of grandeur.
And for those want to cut and fold faux Marie-Antoinette paper dolls. Have fun PBers ✂️๐ป๐
I love anything Marie-Antoinette ❤️
ReplyDeleteThank you !
So pretty and whimsical
ReplyDeleteI never know what is coming next :))
Pretty formidable!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you and bear have your new visa. ๐ I can only imagine the frustration and anxiety that goes into that process.๐คฆ๐ผ♀️
ReplyDeleteI like the drawing on the silly cake box. Just thinking...perhaps a new venture for you?!
Bon weekend๐ง๐จ๐ฐ๐
GA from Dekalb...drawing Cake boxes would be great fun!!
ReplyDeleteYou have a visa card for a cat? Hopefully, that's just a photo and you have a card for you. Though, if I was traveling I would probably need a visa card for Lizzie. Maybe one for Bear?
ReplyDeleteAh, pity about the lemon. Sounds so good....
YAY for a new Visa! YAY for getting vaccinated! YAY for cafรฉ terraces opening up in a WEEK! ๐ Hopeful that we all get back to “normal” in 2021. ๐ฅ๐พ Keep on sampling those lemon pastries so we know which ones are worth the calories. ๐ ❤️๐
ReplyDeleteThanks for the permission to keep stuffing myself :))
ReplyDeleteSure Bev,
ReplyDeleteI was just picking it up.
Its good for 2 month. Must make another appt immediately!
Felicitations on your appointment. Good work. And who would have thought there were two Talking Heads fans on the Ile St Louis (maybe more…).
ReplyDeleteSorry those lemon goodies weren't good - they look delicious but now, thanks to the taste tester supreme, I can mark them off my list. Your final photo is beautiful, and, yes Carol, I am a little sweet on Bear.
ReplyDeleteYou do make me laugh - your battle with sweets which I totally identify with. If the treats are anywhere as good as you make them look in your many pictures then I will pray for you. LOL
ReplyDeletePlease pray for me Tim, even though the donut/eclaire missed the mark wide. They were boulanger not patisserie items.
ReplyDeleteAs mentioned before, life here is a continuous walk through landmines.
I envy ppl who dont like sweets...yet I do really prefer savory bottom line...which is something I dont want to talk about.
IF I COULD JUST STOP LOOKING IN WINDOWS.. but its a professional necessity.
Congratulations on your card. Love the cutouts of Antoinette. So, do you speak French all day these days? I still practice but don't know if I'll ever get back to France...
ReplyDeleteBeyoncรฉ and that video!!!!!!!!
