Last Sunday on the way to the AAWE Xmas Bazaar,
Hermès Christmas decorations this year are the top 🎩
Black and white snowmen with touches of carrot 🥕 🥕 Unusual. The most sophisticated Xmas decor I’ve seen yet in my opinion 👌
I checked out the children’s books 📚
Reindeer were reading
I was feeling hungry so peeked in Maison du Chocolat’s window…
And then inside Patrick Roger’s chocolate emporium.
They have once a month free evenings for the kids, with a canteen, special exhibitions, a DJ 🎵 set from La Machine Moulin Rouge ( not the red windmill).
Luckily I was browsing in the bookshop and ended up in the balcony snackbar sketching…Not so easy with constantly moving bodies but a big dopamine hit
All of this looks delicious from penguins, chocolates and dancing. Of course, your sketches are fabulous and fun. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDon’t you know the family of the little girl would love that picture; it’s just the best.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very FAST shot. Kids don’t usually stay still for long either
DeleteLoved the Hermes photos. I want that red handbag ! Did you get the photos of Eleanor’s room that I sent through Etsy.?
ReplyDeleteThank you YES! It was very HOT ON INSTAGRAM,! I LOVE ❤️ IT
DeletePRECIOUS!!! Love this entire post!! NJ
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting life you lead Carol! All of your healthy food choices must give you endless energy. If I followed your example perhaps my Hermes scarves would fit around my waist like on their sales staff! 🫣
ReplyDeleteThank you for bringing us a glimpse of Paris holiday festivities. Your photo (and sketch!) of the little girl looking at the snowmen is precious. ❤️
Hmm…not sure RAMEN is healthy…but it’s definitely warming on chilly nights 🥶 but maybe healthier than onion soup 🍲

DeleteI loved this post yesterday and followed in your footsteps today. You inspire me. I had to take some holiday photos for the article I write on holiday decorations, so I went to Bon Marché, had lunch at Rose Bakery, and even stopped into Hermes, where I have never been. Oh my. So many salespeople and so friendly. Meredith M.
ReplyDeleteOh great Meredith! That’s my’Bermuda Triangle’. I can get lost in there, living vicariously. Perfect for a browser.
DeleteHow refreshing! The Hermes experience, my favorite. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteBlack and white snowmen with carrot accents. So chic! Diksha
ReplyDeletePenguins all over Paris! I love the theme Bhanu
ReplyDeleteHermès always nails holiday decor! Those snowmen are magical. Muskan
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas penguins are cute and classy. That is a cool dance event once a month to go too, loved your sketches. Keep warm!!
