Another Paris shop today, this time a chain...well there are 5-6 boutiques
When I was leaving Susanne's apartment near the Eiffel Tower, she reminded me not to forget to look in the window of her favorite coffee shop on 145, rue Saint-Dominique - Les Comptoirs Richard 
Some of the best still life setups are sitting in their windows! 
As one who is always on the lookout for a ready-made still life, all I can say is, YUM!
LOOK! A rosy pink teapot with matching rose (and pepper) chocolate bar to match!
And those famous nournours - chocolate covered marshmallow bears. I keep missing these somehow..They're too plebian to show up at the salon du ChocolatGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Paris hearts glass teapots like nobody else. I bought one a year ago and have yet to use it. But it looked so lovely sitting in Comptoir's window, who could resist?
Paris hearts like crazy these tetsubin teapots! They are everywhere in every color. I bought one when I got home down on the Bowery in a restaurant supply place for 1/3 the price (since they aren't fashionable here...) I've yet to use that either...ahem
Here's a pale green gift basket with a violet tetsubin inside + an aubergine tea tin =YUM
Another tendance - the French heart these shaped sugars. All different shapes and colors for your tea soiree?
This I heart, since I drink hot chocolate every single day of the year - a lovely chocolatiere with a nice supply of Dolfin chocolate powders...yummy
Did they know I was coming? Look at this! A do-it-yourself-paint-your-own-tea set! Ok so it's doll size. I could go for that. All this and just in the window.Can you imagine what waits inside? It was 10 in the evening so I didn't find out. But still a nice souvenir from Les Comptoire...
MERCI SUSANNE!!
