  9. *always* dreaming of paris... with our baby due next week (!!!) i don't think we'll be making it there this fall (shame, because it's so close for us living in Belgium)... but maybe baby's first Parisian gettaway will happen in the spring :) maybe the Oeuf Eiffel Tower will hold us over until then!

  10. Mmmm, I used to live in Paris and cannot stop dreaming of going back. I actually miss the cold, rainy days there—those were the best for popping into a cafe and just drinking cafe au lait and reading all afternoon :) Thanks for stirring up the happy memories!

  16. What a sweet collection.

    Not that I'm biased, but have you noticed that there's a total overabundance of Paris/French goodies out there and far less Rome/Italian (or other places). I wonder why that is?

    Thanks for sharing. That Paris plate is totally original. And holler if you find anything Italian :)
