If you live in Paris this Sunday is Fetes Des Meres day or Mother's Day.
So you are probably busy rushing around and getting on lines to buy some dragees (candy-coated almonds) for Mum.
These pretty cornets are from Laduree...
Dragees are given on every celebratory occasion - weddings, babtisms, you name it. 
And usually in pastel colors...
But Bon Marche had jar after big jar of brilliantly colored dragee as well as the pretty pastels.
I spoted these BLUE dragee in a gift shop in the Marais.. Blue food used to be a no-no.
And they come ready wrapped as favors for a kid's party...
Then there is always the ever present macaron - the perfect gift for anyone at all.
Pierre Herme send out an email titled, "Have you called your mother?" And Aquarelle.com sent one today with the message, "Fete des Meres: c'est maintenant ou jamais !" (Mother's Day: It's now or never! Buy a bouquet!) Of course if you're not in Paris you don't have to lift a finger. Been there, done that already.
BONNE JOURNEE
