La Poste Croissant 🥐 Stamp Letter

I’m Giving Thanks today because I finished ✔️ the Paris Letter 💌

Was it Kirra who asked if I would be doing a croissant 🥐 stamp Paris letter?
I was on the elevator going to go make prints. I took another look 👁️ It needed something 🤔 Back I went and added a red & blue Air-Mail border all the way around.
Plus more croissants 🥐 maybe too many?
I know many of you are focused on turkey 🦃 and Cranberry sauce
Which is harder to find in Paris then hen’s teeth 🦷 especially since Marks & Spencer’s closed up because of Brexit 😭
Marks & Sparks even had delish ‘canneberge’ sandwiches 🥪 
Remembrances of things past…😭
Maison de l’Isabelle
Anyhoo, last week 
I was mostly 
Running, 🏃‍♂️ 
Café Pierre Hermè 
Around Paris
Doing 
Mille et Un Patisserie
Croissant 🥐 🥐
Research 🔬
MICHALAK
Don’t these look like Trader Joe’s ‘Everything But the Bagel’ Seasoning?
Mille et Un boulangerie, who placed #3 in this year’s annual croissant 🥐 competition, is well worth a visit at 32, rue Saint Placide.
Their matcha Madeleines are exquisite 👌 …I got distracted from my 🥐 mission.
There are so many tempting variations on a theme in Paris including savory 🥐 from Frappé Boulangerie at 7 rue Sedaine.
I had to look at and sketch ✍️ too many gorgeous croissants 🥐
Not the walk in the park you might imagine.
How many croissants 🥐 can you eat in one day?
It is pretty amazing how these big puffy, laminated hunks of gold come from this tiny roll of butter and flour.
A basket of croissants 🥐 
A basket of cat at the cat cafe nearby.
I’m running back to the printer(he was not in earlier).
Have a grand THANKSGIVING ❤️
Back in a thrice.

    Well, I must purchase this Paris letter, because I ate multiple croissants at La Maison d'Isabelle in September. Miam. Miam.

      My ‘Thanksgiving’ menu? Oh dear. For dinner - Soupe de Lentilles. I was going to get escalopes de dinde à la viennoise 🦃 à la Picard, but I better address envelopes 💌 instead :-()
