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!
