BONJOUR SPRING!

TA-DA!
Look!
Yesterday the ballerinas were out in Paris.
And shortie striped skirts.

Why not combine both with striped ballerinas..?

Whilst eating some red berries...

I got berrie thing at Gerard Mulot to paint...

But I ate it :)

I wanted to buy anemonies from my favorite fleuriste

On rue Vavin, but I'm off to VENICE TODAY!

The trees were busting into bloom in the Luxembourg jardins...

People were even wearing sunglasses!

Why not take a gardening class or arrange flowers at the gardens..?

Why not write a letter in Spring green ink?

Or wear a floral hat...

From hat shop Marie Mercie...

Why not tie a pink bow around your waist like at Eric Bompard..?

Even if you have no waist at all yet, wear a red bow for SPRING!!

The Easter chocolate chickens are wearing them...

Everyone was out in the Paris cafes...

Even the Eiffel Tower poked it's head out from the clouds yesterday.

I decided to try my luck and get the best waffle in Paris yesterday...

Well Le Figaro says L'Avant Comptoir has the best so it must be so. When I tried on Sunday I waited on line 45 minutes. Then at the take-away window they said it would be another 10 minutes! Well they only have ONE waffle/gaufre maker! I gave up and went away. But yesterday with Spring finally arriving with a blast I hit lucky and didn't have to wait at all.

YES it was well worth coming back for.

I'm off to Venice tonight

*NEWS ALERT:

I AM NOT TAKING MY COMPUTER.

But perhaps I'll post on PB at a cyber cafe...qui sait?

I'm taking a petite vacance. Please excuse dearest PBers.

I'll be back onboard the 30th of March.

Patience et courage...ahem

BONJOUR SPRING!

Mon Doudou

0 comments Posted by pece at 4:39 AM

The first thing a French bebe gets to hold after his/her maman's tata is a Doudou. In the USA we call it a 'blankie' or 'Teddy'

This pensive post was inspired by a Metro poster of a French kid clutching her Doudou.

I kept seeing clutched doudous like on rue de Rivoli and the wheels started turning. *Note French adult on the right clutching his iPod (a doudou in disguise)

A chic or tres classe doudou in mariniere stripes matching the kid's shirt, seen in a high-end shop on rue Tronchet - being well co-ordinated in Paris starts early.

A giant doudou at ART-PARIS

Ecole Ritz Escoffier has plenty of adorable doudous (presumably for adults) if you want to shell out 39-69 euros...

Can you take your doudou to Angelina?
Oui, as long as he puts his purse on a chair and NOT the floor.
Reading a table is allowed.

The doudou as fashion accessory - I first spotted Bear at Sonia Rykiel Saint-Germain it was a coup de foudre/instant love.

Once I owned another Sonia doudou. In the '80's SR made fab faux furs. Matching jaguar doudous were slung round the neck. I bought a black one and used to perch it on my suitcase at customs - I would sail through with ease. French doudous are part of my history.
