YOU KNOW IT'S A FRENCH WEDDING WHEN...
UN MARIAGE TRES FRANÇAIS
The proverbial "Deuch' (2 CV Citroën) for the bride and groom as they exit the church.
The very provençal Mat de Cocagne, albeit a very festive one, it's green and white satin ribbons flying in the breeze.
au revoir.

THE GREEN WALL
LE MUR VEGETAL
DE LA RUE DES PETITS CARREAUX
How would you like to live in that building? so lush and generous seen from outside, no doubt;
but any creepy-crawlies ready to sneak in through the kitchen window?
au revoir.

WHAT I FOUND ON THE STREETS...
CE QUE J'AI TROUVÉ SUR MON CHEMIN
Paris
They do say it is the city of love...
Naples, Italy
Loosely translated:
To the owner of the dog who, daily, does his business in front of # 21: your uncivil conduct cannot be tolerated most of all because the afore mentioned address is that of a handicapped person. So should this unpleasant episode continue it will be reported to the competent authorities.
Tangier, Morocco
BOO!
Paris
Translation:
I don't want to be your friend on Facebook.
OK...
au revoir.

HARLEQUIN
MON AMI ARLEQUIN
In fact I am drawn to very minimalist harlequin patterns.
Especially on
a lot of white.
Au revoir.

THE RED ARTICHOKES
LES ARTICHAUTS ROUGES
Found at the market in Paris today, these pretty artichoke with deep red hearts.
Served slightly opened, with just a lime and olive oil vinaigrette and finely sliced home-made gravlax.
au revoir.

THE VERY BLUE POST-WINTER SKIES OF TANGIER
LES CIELS TRÈS BLEUS DE TANGER APRÈS L'HIVER
Chez Abdou, the funky fish restaurant on the beach, the weather was deceptively bright and though the entrance to the beach has been readied in Abdou's flamboyant style, there is no swimming quite yet.
In the Kasba, the usually white walls, their grayish stains the effect of the wet winter season, await the next coat of paint
The Strait as seen from the terrace of the fabulous Tangerina.
Bright blue skies chasing the winter blues.
au revoir.

HARLEQUIN
As I have already mentioned in my blog, I really love this pattern! It's beautiful in a Moroccan Boucherouite rug, as an accent wall, on Moroccan side tables and even on a wall in Taroudant, Morocco.
Morocco/harlequin…do I see a pattern here?
Yes (pun intended…)
images via etsy, pinterest, elle décor and my own.
au revoir.

THE FUN EVOLUTION OF THE LITTLE TEA POT
L'ÉVOLUTION CHARMANTE DE LA PETITE THÉIÈRE
A neighbor of my sister's in the Kasba of Tangier has been painting and repainting a teapot motif around the small window next to his front door.
He started with a very minimalist version and has been happily adding, changing and basically playing around with the cute design every year.
This time we were welcomed with an entirely new color scheme!
Quite charming!
au revoir.

To me, it says

Try baby shampoo?
Remember to layer your cloths?
Always think sensible shoes?
Yes, all that, and
it SCREAMS

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!

THE BEST COOKIES IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!
LES MEILLEURS GATEAUX DE LA PLANÈTE
The BRIZELÉS are made entirely artisanally in Lebanon. (Soon they will also be produced in Dubai. Yes, Dubai.)
They are beautiful, light and airy, and so addictive!
Paper thin wafers with a melt in your mouth sweetness! The ones we were given are "Walnuts and Cinnamon". There are however 6 other kinds including cumin, olive and thyme.
They are the brain child of a man passionate about cooking, who started making these in his kitchen in Beirut, Lebanon a few years ago and is now selling them everywhere over there but also on line! (His charming son Omar kindly and very generously brings them back to Paris during his frequent trips to Beirut for his extremely grateful friends.)
You should not hesitate to order some for one single second.
That's Papa Kamel Cabbabé, there, on the box.
Editor's note: I was not compensated for this post in any way…well, if you don't count the boxes of Brizelés which have delighted us so, I could not resist raving to you about them.
au revoir.
