How special to find the interplay of favorite pastel colors captured on the blog, French Beauty Mark. Note the boxes, in palest green above and shell pink below. (A little personal tribute to my Alpha Kappa Alpha friends, my sisters under the skin!) These delicious little containers are from Ladurée, a pair of pastry shops/tea rooms (salons de thé) on both sides of the Seine, in Paris. I'm especially fond of the rue Bonaparte location, below. (I described the exterior in an earlier post as robin's egg green!) I have quite the little collection of Ladurée boxes myself, filled with memories of the incredible macarons they once held. (The green one in the back is a little faded -- it normally holds earrings.) While pink and green are on my mind, I must share a serendipitous find. The Art Deco fan vases below did not come as a set -- I've had the green one several years, so imagine how thrilled I was last weekend to find the pink one! Also in the tableau: a doll size hobnail beverage set and a very vintage bride's maid, part of a complete little bridal party. I don't know about you, but certain color combinations speak to my sensibilities. Not eye candy exactly (see below) but a visual treat you can almost taste. à bientôt...Tatie - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
