    Thankyou for putting Paris in my inbox :)

    I have only recently begun subscribing via email, and I have started to look forward to seeing "French Essence" come up in my Inbox.

    The adorable chiens were... odd... but funny. Paris is simply delicious, however.

    Thankyou again !

    I've been doing research on tutus. Did you know that it can take 120 hours and cost about $2000 to make one?

    The little girl in me just adores a tutu. Too bad only ballerinas and little girls get to wear them. Have a wonderful weekend!!!

    Love St. Honore, so many precious cafes & fun shops. I always stay at the hotel at the end (along with FiFi, my poodle) so we can walk in the park. You make everything so special, V., even this little window looks magical they way you framed it.

    The perfect store window for Collingwood supporters, of which I hastily need to add I'M NOT! They would positively swoon for all that black & whitte.
