happy tuesday!  how was your weekend?  this would have been a monday post…except i woke up monday to find that my computer crashed!  not the best way to kick off the week – but thank god for small miracles, my back up worked!!

today’s pairing is inspired by the featured pop-up shopkeep, simply pretty prints!!  click here to read all about sarah, the artist behind simply pretty prints.   her resume is impressive…she’s got a degree in mechanical engineering for one thing!  but i love that she’s both creative & analytical – makes for a cool combo in her work!!

her french word espresso cups got me thinking about one of my fave things to do…sit in a cafe, drinking coffee, listening to music and just people watching.  when i go to paris, that’s where you’d find me!  (well, not the whole time – i mean i’d go see things too!)

so i asked marcus to create a paris-inspired playlist for us all – it’s pretty fantastic, i’ve got to say!

Hello One Sydney Roadies! Hubby here with some ideas on music.  My own personal fantasy day of Paris is sitting in a cafe with my ipod watching the world go by.  Cafes and music  go hand and hand with me so i put together a paris cafe playlist to just sit, drink coffee and watch both nothing and everything at once. enjoy! - marcus
