Paris: Au Revoir!

I'm sad to say this is my last post on Paris. We had such a wonderful trip, and are so thankful for Mike and Mimi not only letting us stay at their home, but also for showing us a great time!

So this is my fun post of all the random things that didn't fit in to any other post.

Starting with... Fauchon! I think this store was made for me. Not only is it PINK, but it's filled with delicious sweets. Definitely my kind of place!! I was hoping to buy a few pieces of their cute dishes, but they stopped selling them (maybe a future Christmas gift on ebay for me... wink wink Joe!). I had the best eclair of my life here - a caramel eclair with caramel icing & caramel filling...!!! They also have fantastic macaroons.


Up next... Angelina's! Hands down, the best hot chocolate I've ever had. It was way to sweet - and that's saying something, coming from me! But we both enjoyed every sip. We even bought a take-home liquid mixture to drink while at Mike & Mimi's, and a powder mixture to bring back to Nagoya with us. mmmm!


Lastly, we went to a really great antique market. Filled with furniture, clothes, knickknacks, dishes... everything you can possibly imagine at an antique market. I thought of my sister-in-law Lori the whole time (you would have loved it!!). I bought a couple of pink pitchers, and Joe bought a couple juice glasses. Very fun!


Oh yes, and I can't forget to show you my new incredibly cute chalkboard mug! LOVE this and can't wait to write messages on it. :) We loved Paris and hope to go back soon.

  1. Looks amazing. My cousin brought me back some macaroons from France and they were so good! Love the chalkboard mug - what a cute idea!
