Guilty pleasures...... 05/17/2010
I am loving these "diptyque" candles right now. Yes, they cost a small fortune but these little guys have legs. They last forever and, in my opinion, are worth the steep price. You can find this famous candle shop at 34 Blvd. Saint Germaine. My current favorite scent is Mimosa with a hint of citrus. I love the simplistic packaging. The art of display.......... 05/06/2010
My nose is pressed against the window and hands cupped around my temples to get a better look inside. The French know how to lure me inside, their displays flirt with me. I "take the bait" time and time again. One such store, is a personal favorite. It's name is Blanc d'Ivoire at 104 rue du Bac, 75007. I would like one of everything in this particular store. There are a few shops scattered throughout Paris. Come on inside with me for a bit. Did you hear the little bell above the doorway as we entered? Can you smell the tuberose candles lit for us? I knew you would come in so I had them set the table for us............ Give me a minute, I am almost finished writing in my journal........... I covet this piece, it would look fabulous in my living room........... Excuse my excitement. I will let you have a look around on your own.......... I want that mirror in the picture above........oh sorry......continue wandering......and those sconces too.........there I go again..... Thanks for joining me. I will show you more of my favorite stores again. |
