Paris Day 15 : SNOW !!!

Yes my dear friends,

this morning it was silently SNOWING over Paris. Alas, alas, it stopped by 11 am, but such as it was, it was pretty charming, so a little later Pierre took a shot ( camera wise ) at your special envoywith boots, coat, hat and all the amenities of a rigorous cold.

( Note the elegance of the background, whose moldings are coordinated with her mittens ) :
















but it was way, way cold and I wished I had got for Tall or for Dylan the package of the Cocottes ( mini casseroles) and Soupes ( soup recipes ) at Le Bon Marche :










then it was back to La Madeleine, with a wonderful view of the Place de la Concorde in the background, ( The Laduree macarons are on the left side )










then on to the rue Boissy d'Anglas through the little pedestrian alley, and its little cafes

















and quaint little stores









and then on to the less quaint, but pic redone, for Tall's love of Alber Elbaz / god :









and Lanvin Homme ( men ) with dear Alber's TIE < sigh of adoration >










and to crown it all, one more pic of Tall's little store where you find cheap saddles : ( by the way dearest Tall, we went in, and check the price of your future saddle, and frankly, it would be great if you took to needlepoint for a change )








( but there was a fainting couch nearby, in fact made of suede, and dad is doing all right )

To morrow : a matter of pastries

with love, from your special envoy
