Magical Scents

In a small street near from Galleries Lafayette, you enter a courtyard after passing large iron gates and follow your nose to this wonderful shop.  Fragonard has been in France for ages.  There is a Perfume Museum upstairs from the shop but we can't wait to go inside to pick up our favorite fragrances, gifts and candles.  Mine is called Miranda and I'm complimented on it all the time.  Do you have a favorite Fragonard scent?

That Time of Year

The trees are beginning to loose their leaves and rustle down the streets and staircases.  The light strikes rich golden hues as people stroll home for dinner or to change to go out.  Photographers call this time the "Golden Hour' and you can certainly tell why it is named so.

We have added more fun things to tempt you so please look at the shop when you have a moment!

Oodles of Goodies

Why do things just piled on a table to so inviting?  This booth at our local antique market was great.  I wanted to get everything- aqua glass, rusty and peely perfection.

Tulleries

It was a glorious day strolling in the Tulleries from the Orangerie to the Musee des Arts Decoratifs fabulous restaurant, Le Saut du Loup.  The flowers were at their best and it wasn't muggy, sticky, humid!  Have you dined outdoors there?  It's a fun spot to people watch.

What to Do With Old Trophies

You know what we mean- where are you storing yours?  We thought this was just the best and actually have some in our shop now if you can't find yours ;-)
A Bientot!

Home Away From Home

Duchess and I try to stay here when we come to Paris for our shopping trips and tours.  It's is a large secluded square in the heart of the city with everything right outside our door.  Some of the shops change hands but the restaurants remain some of the most famous in Paris.  If you follow this down to the end of the square and pass through the large archway you'll find the restaurant made famous by Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson in the movie "Something's Gotta Give".
Do you know this square?
A bientot,
