Framed receipt

My friends Susan Cernek and Rob Giampietro framed this receipt from their first trip to Paris together in 2006. They'd had two coffees at the Cafe de Flore, and now the receipt hangs in their kitchen, as a lovely reminder. How cute is that?

  6. The last time I was in a photobooth was on our honeymoon, ironically in Paris, in 2000. And don't you know I can't find the photos any more. So sad but a wonderful memory and time. Have a great time in Paris. It is the most perfect city.

  9. I dream of returning to Cafe Flore!

    I wish I'd thought to do that with our receipt. So cute!

  11. What a lovely idea!

    You know what would look gorgeous? If they had some sort of french-style fabric as the matting.

  12. expensive coffee.... haha but cute none-the-less

  13. This is the most adorable thing ever. And they are the cutest couple!

  14. That's a genius idea! I look forward to doing it :)

  15. Aww, this post made me smile. They both look absolutey besotted with one another.

    Your post on parents' secret favorite children, however, made me so sad. I feel terrible for the two younger daughters who are being forced to live in the shadow of their oldest sister. It was so sweet of you to encourage the youngest one, though. I sure hope the parents come to their senses and start being a little more self-aware.

  16. Reminds me of a surprise I had once when I first visited a new friend's home - coincidentally, and unknown to me at the time, they had inherited a mutual friend's art collection, and among the items on the wall was a framed set of doodled score keeping tallies. they were from card games that I had attended years earlier, the now absent hosts always insisted that I keep score. True bittersweet.

  17. that's a fabulous and sentimental idea! Love it!

  18. That is quite possibly the sweetest thing I have ever seen!

  21. THAT is an adorable idea...

    Now we just have to go someplace interesting.

  22. Oh, they are such a cute couple! And that idea is brilliant.

  23. So wonderful, I think I will take inspiration from my trips and make art out of it. :)

  24. I think that's a great idea. We saved a few stubs from our first trip to Italy. Nothing like a receipt from a cafe in Capri to make you smile. That, and a receipt from a lift in Santorini are quite memorable.

    Listen, Joanna, you really have to stop all this travel speak. I didn't realize just how much I wanted (needed) a vacation until now. Ahhh.... time to go drool over some photos.

    Keep up the fun posts. I'm already on vacation in my mind :)

  25. i have a stash of tickets for places i've been with my husband (movies, concerts, museums). i went through it and also found a receipt from john's pizzeria in new york: our first trip together. now, to do something special ...

    ReplyDelete

  26. Isn't that place really overpriced though? I mean, that's over $14 for 2 coffees...

    ReplyDelete

  27. Wow! I am totally doing that someday.. :)

    ReplyDelete

  28. so cute..i was thinking of doing the same tihng but with a movie we saw.. and then we took those photobooth pics as well

  29. It is expensive, but there are a few reasons why. They got more than just coffee- they had cafe creme (i'm guessing by the receipt), which is coffee with heavy cream. An espresso can be as little as a few euros. You are also buying the time you spend in the cafe- which can be up to a few hours.

    ciao!

  30. I LOVE this idea! I save everything so I'm sure that I have a few receipts from trips lying around in a box somewhere!

    ReplyDelete

  31. oh my gosh my friend has that too! they have the receipt from their first dinner together and next to it is a framed picture of the bench in paris where he proposed!

    ReplyDelete

  32. cute idea, perfect for a couples scrapbook

  33. that's really cute :)

  35. I really like that. Helps me think of the sweet reminders receipts can be. I am just recovering from going through way tooooo many receipts this week. (tax day). maybe I should hang a few. I like the hand written ones the best myself.

    ReplyDelete

  36. Joanna, you may or may not know, but a lot of photographers now-a-days offer a photo booth to have at the reception, its just a fun quarky thing for the guests to play with and then have some snapshots like these to take home with them;)

    ReplyDelete

  39. That is a lovely idea. I am so going to copy that.

    (now I just need to take a trip!)

    ReplyDelete

  40. That's such a lovely idea :)

    I notice that their waiter was Dominique - he is lovely! He let me eat my Ladurée macarons with my 'chocolat special flore' :)

    I hope you have a wonderful time in Paris - I can't wait to see the photos

    11 Euros for two café creme- wow! Framing that receipt is a good idea, if only to document that insane price!
