Paris was perfect

Paris was lovely! The weather was absolutely fantastic, we were so lucky. I didn't have time to stop by Ladurée for macarons, instead I bought them at a little patisserie and they were delicious! We were only staying for 1.5 days, because we were there for a surprise visit for my friend. But I loved soaking up the atmosphere. Paris is such a lovely combination of old and new, history is always around the corner.

Paris has a lot of little shops with just one sort of item for sale, I wish we had more of those around here. For example I found shops that just sold angel statues, all sorts and sizes and a vintage perfume bottle shop.

The most memorable part for a shopaholic like me was the visit to the flea market of St.Ouen, Les Puces de Saint-Ouen . We came by train so buying some awesome chairs wasn't an option.



These would have looked so good in our living room



need some beads?



I'm definitely coming back here to stroll around.

And get some more macarons!

I also wanted to let you I'm working on a new webshop post, where to shop for your holiday shopping (and mine, hehe!).

Going to Paris!

 

This weekend we’re popping over to Paris to surprise a friend for her birthday! Needless to say, I’m already looking forward to the visit. We’ll be staying in Montmartre, the place to be for strolling along the flea markets and watching the street artists in action.

The last time we visited Paris, we went to Duc des Lombards, a stunning jazzclub with live music. Listening to the music, sipping some champagne...we still often reminisce about that evening.

Paris always brings out the romance in people!

This weekend I'm dying to visit Ladurée, an authentic Parisian tea room and bakery, and taste their famous macarons. Which I have never eaten by the way, I think it's about time! 


  

You'll read all about it when we get back!
