 I did not eat any compote de pomme yesterday

 The Polonaise I shared (I only ate half and just the meringue topping)

 You know it's Spring in Paris when you see asperges blanc. The season is short

Paris Ladybugs

 Is it Spring/Printemps that's brings out the ladybugs/coccinelles in Paris?

 Yesterday I saw 3! At the bd Raspail bio marche.

 On wine bottles no less.

 Guarding chocolates at patisserie Pause Detente 98 ave. Ladru-Rolin.

 Ladybugs were out en masse on Saturday. Especially at il etait un fois toy shop - this hugable doudou.

 A wind-up coccinelle...

 On a backpack...

 An adorable Nathalie Lete designed bebe looks like a ladybug-to-be.

 Mary janes a ladybug would love to wear at il etait un fois..

 As well as a polka-dot picnic basket..

 Over at La Vaissellerie must-have mugs for any ladybug of note.

 Plus little teabag dishes - these ladybugs have names!

 I didn't know there was a whole series of Ladybug girl books! A whole flock of them by Jacky David and David Soman.

 Ladybugs bring happiness/le bonheur, so you shouldn't leave home without at least one. I left these at chez moi.

But I'm wearing Sonia Rykiel stick pins everyday on my raincoat.

You never know...

Paris Job Hunt!

Do you dream of working in Paris?
Would you be willing to do anything including working at Fauchon?
Dishing out macarons? I can think of worse ways to earn a euro...
How about Angelinas? Hmmm...this looks a bit grueling...
Do you think it's true what they say about working in a candy/pastry shop..?
At Ble Sucre could you ever lose your taste for pastries?
Or macarons?
Could I ever lose my taste for Amorino's pistache + framboise + cafe combo?

Do I need an Italian accent to work at Amorino? I'll fake it.

Serving penny candy at Metro Odeon? I'd do that.

Take the Metro to work? I wouldn't mind...

I loved shooting fashion shows in Paris.

I'm not willing to make bread in the window...

And MacDos..serving up macarons? Hmmm...

Dog walker? Oui, absolutement!

What would YOU like to do in Paris?

BONJOUR JOB HUNTING!
