Eiffel Tower Bleus...

Posted by pece at 6:46 AM

So how come I have the Eiffel Tower bleus, aside from not being in Paris at this moment you ask?
Because everytime I walk up rue Bonaparte coming from Laduree (with macarons in hand) I would see this Eiffel Tower lamp in the window (on the left hand side of the street - it's been there maybe 2 years and going for 200 euros+). That's why.
Meanwhile back at chez Parisbreakfast I bought this lamp from Target in a fit of Eiffle Tower insanity...
It has been sitting for months looking like this. Perfectly horrid! The lampshade is the pits non? Plus I am a tad dyslexic and I don't do instructions well. It's pretty amazing how I get a post up 5x a week considering..ahem
A PB reader mentioned this BHV Eiffel Tower as a nice addition to my decor and I found it! But at 129 euros and probably with a lot of instructions and in French...ah, I don't think so.

If only I could bring home this Eiffel Tower sitting ever so nicely outside the window of the musee Branly and put it outside my window...

Here's a nice champagne-high Tour Eiffel, but these are too heavy to bring home and might crush the macarons...

A marbelized chocolate Eiffel Tower wouldn't last very long as decor I think...

Nor this tour des macarons spotted on Printemps foodie floor...

A true Frenchie decked out in her topknot, trench, big bag, leggings/collants, and boots at the Eiffel...

I did find this very nice Eiffel pillow by IOSIS Paris at the duty free in Charles de Gaulle airport and grabbed it for 48 euros.

But they had a matching Japanese-style Eiffel pillow and I should have grabbed it as well and did not :(

Resist shopping and repent at leisure.

Tres triste!!!

I found this snowy Eiffel at Amazon and it has been added...

And I got this one as well - I need a huge frame for it...
Slowly but surely my Eiffel Tower themed appart is coming together.

If you have any suggestions they are most wellcome!

This past weekend there was a huge celebration (when isn't there?) for the 120th birthday of the tower. Peter's Paris has the whole story.

Here's a little celebrating I did for Dalmations, Ace and Pansy...

Oh and while we're celebrating did you know that Laduree now has a stand at CDG? Right as you enter to go through customs, you must first stop and...

Grab a few last chance macarons!

No Eiffel Tower lampshades though...

BONJOUR TOUR EIFFEL!!!
