Playing with memories

Retro fever: I visited a crazy vintage toy shop close
to Abbesses called Tombées du Camion...


These old-guy dolls were really cool  :-)


Everything was carefully sorted and placed in glass jars, so inspiring!


The interior was smoked and dusty... slate color with warm wooden boards.


Thousands plastic mini-cars...


Wonderful letterpress...


Here you are its business card, in case of curiosity...

Special guest my grandma Ida.... She knows how it feels!

I want candies!

Today for you some sweets from my daily sins...


A raspberry mini-cake from the belgian eco-boulangerie "Le Pain Quotidien" in Paris (close to rue Saint Honoré)


The "not-sugar-free"chewing gum from our 80's...


Some "ciucci di zucchero" from Trevignano Romano (Lazio - Rome)



Macarons and hot milk chocolate from Ladurée Paris.


A melting ice-cream cake (dark chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla) with a very tasty bacio Perugina. 


Sugarcubes from Ladurée.

Some clouds in Paris

Being in Paris has been a precious gift for me.
I found a lot of myself in its inspiring, decadent corners. 
Dusty streets with ancient details, but so contemporary at the same time!


A red door in L'Ourcq.


... I think I've spent a good 40% of that time being lost in the subway.


A solitary cloud captured in Montmartre.


To the Royal Botanical Garden, a magical place for kids!



Marais.... 


Centre Pompidou


Patisserie Ladurée


An advertisement marked as "sexiste" in the subway. (Great!)


I can definitely say J'adore!
