Rue Cler, La Fontaine de Mars

Last night I was meeting Karen Schneid and her adorable daughters at La Fontaine de Mars

A quick walk down rue Cler was essential.

Bleu Blanc Rouge

I’m so happy M. Macron is continuing as president of France 🇫🇷 🍾🤸‍♂️

I went off on a Vichy  red check painting tangent today

Especially since Sabra check spoons 🥄  came into my life.

It doesn’t take much for me to become red-checked obsessed.

These are actually Real shoes from MuiMui! I’m always looking at feet. Maybe because I used to design shoes. 

I saw these the other day on the Metro. Someone can’t wait for Summer. 

Speaking of Summer, Maison d’Isabelle can’t wait to show off their Summer fruit Tartes. Perfect way to celebrate the election outcome🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 

A HQ for Vichy check candy boxes, the very Frenchy shop for checkered accessories, H.Moinet.

Is confisierie Maison Moinet of Vichy. 

Their tins and boxes are irresistible. The town of Vichy has been making checked cloth since the 17th and 18th century. 

George Washington requested of his nephew living in Paris to send him Vichy check seat covers for Mount Vernon. 

The Vichy check is a common, everyday fabric, yet its an instant reminder of classic French bistros.
