How do you prove you were in Paris if you don't bring home a few souvenirs to show off?I always find a fun T-shirt at... Anne Maisonneuve - 112 bd Raspail 76006 (long sleeves - 38 euros)  Anne ships overseas.  These charm bracelets were irresistable at Salon du Chocolat... Manu Creations (about 16 -21 euros) lets you could pick out your own charms...  Some Paris souvenirs you wear home on your hips...  'Some' is an understatement...hmmm  I love my new khaki postmans bag (17 euros) from La Musee du la Poste...  There are so many stickers and stationary and stuff to buy at the museums gift shop you could go wild.  I picked up a Sonia-like stripey umbrella on rue Vavin (25 euros) Reader glasses (2 pairs for 50 euros) bought impulsively my last night in Paris...  While waltzing aimlessly down rue du Bac at CoteVue... I brought back these Cafe Pouchkine macarons and they're almost gone. They are the perfect thing for breakfast...sigh  Bear is still moaning (again) about not getting himself this Moulin Rouge bear. He's so indecisive bear is... What treasures did you bring back as a reminder you were in Paris? This feed contains copyrighted photos and text from http://www.parisbreakfast.com.

Paris Pumpkin Posted: 31 Oct 2011 08:17 AM PDT Le(la) BOO!I don't know what gender 'Boo' is but certainement you'll see signs of Halloween in many classy joints around town...  La Petite Marquise (3 Pl. Victor Hugo 75016) had several tres chic witches dans le vitrine in full regalia...  Sweet Paris said I must taste her fav, la feuille d'automne so I did...  Trop de creme pour moi malheureusement/way too much cream for me. I discovered the secret of tarte citron meringuee. Often it's just a tarte citron with a dollop of toasted meringue adorning the curd. Who knew? Do stop by Sweet Paris if you want to see what pricy Halloween shenanigans Patrick Roger is up to.  Is it only the French who can get away with putting a knitted pumpkin plus a knitted aubergine into a window on rue St.-Honore to display fancy watches? Knitting is very in. This ain't happening on Madison Ave., NYC...  Not pumpkin-flavored macarons but pumpkin-colored at Angelina. Pumpkin is the color in my humble opinion in Paris. Fancy kids store, Bonpoint is showing pumpkin hats and scarves.  Are you missing a pumpkin Eiffel tower in your collection? Dash over to rue Cambon immediatement!  Why not deck yourself out in pumpkin head-to-toe like this French girl... I was interested to catch this class act dans le Metro - an art student off to class with her supplies in a Hediard bag. Pas mal non?  I'm off to watercolor class today at the National Academy with David Dewey. We're supposed to paint from the nude...ahem. But I'm bringing in my own subject matter - nice, colorful geometric macaron boxes and bags to paint (plus real macarons for contrast).  Bon(ne) Halloween PBers!
