I Miss U all my Blog

LAST DAY for the Paris Breakfasts Watercolor HOLIDAY SALE!

One of my obsessions is the porte-etiquette.

It took me forever to even find out the name of this little card holder.
Not even M. in Paris could name it other than etiquette - which IS the name of the sign part, true. I like these shields here - I'd KILL to have one.

These are pretty nifty too at Aux Castelblangeous on rue St.-Honore. You can order these at this French pastry supplier.

Of course there's nothing like a hand-printed sign with wonderful French ecriture on it like these in the marche...

And the mini-ardoise is a keeper too...
Fleuristes too go in for the porte-etiquette...
This little sign is like reading a menu at Cafe La Pâtisserie Viennoise..

A hand-printed porte-etiquette from Salon du Chocolat.

Why oh why didn't I get one?

caramel...sigh

A printed porte-etiquette from PAUL.

Very direct. It is what it is, loud and clear.

More like reading a book.

Intellectual content at PIERRE HERME.

Read and give it some serious thought...

Even the title is poetic - Desire Individuel.

A pict-o-gram that says it all = YUM!
At gelateria ICE ON ICE in Les HAlles.
Here's a porte-etiquette I'd love to have outside my door...
How 'bout you?
