Winter in Paris

The snow crunches under foot and the light twinkle and sparkle all around. Winter     is a wonderful time to visit Paris.

Decorating with Natural Material

We are fortunate to have pepperberry trees in the neighborhood and during the second week of December you can find me scouring the neighborhood with my snips and a grocery bag collecting whatever catches my eye to decorate our mantle, tabletop and above frames and mirrors.  I tuck greenery in every nook and cranny!  of course, it is all intertwined with gorgeous ribbon found at Ribbonerie!

The Lights of Paris

The leaves have disappeared and the branches cast a weak shadow over the paths and walkways.  Soon the lamplights will glow and light the way.

Ribbons Galore!

 

There is a wonderland of a shop on a small street in San Francisco that we can easily spend hours in trying to decide what ribbons we have to have!  You know how much we enjoy wrapping our gifts and your purchases from us.

Ribbonerie has been in the same spot forever and you need to add it to your San Francisco sites.

Warmly,

Shannon

Fall Light

In Northern California we have a few trees that treat us the fall colors of elsewhere.  Our light changes to more golden casts, the grasses turn and the weather is devine!
Enjoy,

Through These Magic Portal

Through this portal awaited a memorable luncheon.  The food and service was tres impeccable!  Ever since Ralph Lauren opened the doors of his salon in Paris it has been the place to see.  His all American look translates very well there!  Do try and see it when you are there but be sure to get a reservation far in advance in you want to try the food too.!
Enjoy the Journey,
Bird

Time for Tea

 

We hope you take time for a cup of your favorite while this busy season of holidays begins!  We are fortunate to always have on hand our favorites from Mariage Freres and Laduree.  Do you have a favorite?

Warmly,
