What better way to start back than to post some pictures of the loot that my sister brought me back from her whirlwind trip to Paris!
My sister and I have a rule: no matter the length of time of the trip, there are certain essentials that must be brought back to family members who are stuck back in the U.S., happy for she who is in Paris and also a bit jealous.
Le Stash:
A book on cats of Paris- in English and French. Cats + Paris = faves!!
A cute tote from Petit Bateau- so thoughtful and so very me!
Guest appearance by Louis Philippe, who is licking his chops in anticipation!
Fromage - from Ile St. Louis = tomme brebis pyrenees and compte fruite. This place vacuum pacs the cheeses so that they can be brought back with you.
Calissons = classic!
Veille au Chalet candle from Comptoir de Famille: I alternate between this and fireplace smelling candles in the winter, but if I had to pick one candle to burn (and had them to spare), I would pick this one. And a little pochette!
Adorable little recipe cards from Au Nom de La Rose. I love everything about this store. And I will be attempting these!!
Pictured but no close up: Pierre Herme rose wafers. Delicious beyond imagination. Amazing that my sister found these years ago. To be eaten slowly- like a treasure that you will never eat again!
Not pictured: an assortment of macarons from Laduree, handpicked and ziplock sealed for freshness.
Merci mille fois, Aliza!
