holy croissant, batman…what a fun-filled week this has been!!  thank YOU ALL for making the first week of this paris pop-up shop so exciting!  i’ve received so many sweet emails and tweets since it launched, and well, i’m kind of speechless by it! (is that possible for me??  you all constantly boost me up – so doing something like this is my small way of paying that forward.

so on to our paris journey…i’m glad to see that the hot air balloon got us here safe & sound! (is that even a viable mode of transportation?) by the way, this is coming from someone who has

a.) never been in a hot air balloon &
b.) never been to paris!

so i’m going to live vicariously & share stories from others and their paris adventures, photos, and what i’d have on my itinerary if i was going!  plus it makes it kind of interesting & fun to create things based on my imagination & what i dream paris to be like (oh right…and the fact that there are millions of actual photos & videos of paris out there.  yes, i suppose that helps!)

so please keep sending those stories & photos – i want to share them throughout this paris shop.  speaking of photos…the amazing, gorgeous paris photos you see throughout the shop and right here are from my talented friend lillian – she was sweet enough to offer them to me (and let me play with them!).  check out her new photography blog here – and say hi!

happy friday everyone!  or “heureux tout le monde vendredi”!!
