Autumn colors are here.
Did you see Elodie‘s post La Friterie? Guess who!
This is just too cute for words.
Are more food trucks coming Paris’s way? I hope so.
So much inspiration in the TED talk by Sarah Kay.
Did you see my pictures on Merci Alfred on the fabulous Colorova? EXCITING.
Wandered the Marché Richard Lenoir yesterday with Ana Clara. So many treasures.

This past spring and summer I have learned so much about gardening at Louis’s country house. I sure hope to have my own garden someday… what a dream that would be. But as this cold comes abruptly in, the tomatoes in this garden are not surviving.
Looks like we are moving into the winter goods.
What are your favorite winter veggies? What do you make with them?
P.S. This is the garden where Olivia had a field day and taught me some delicious recipes like this one and this one. Drooling?

How much more girly girl can one get while spending a weekend in the countryside?
These crowns were made with miss Olivia of Oh la la livia, as were some of these shots above! More photos from this amazing weekend are in store!
This week I took my first ever cupcake class… and it was at Beauty Cakes!
Ruthy shared some of her secrets with us while we learned to make the traditional vanilla cupcake with milk chocolate icing. It was superb. With a few friends we popped on our pink Beauty Cakes aprons and attempted to make the most scrumptious cupcakes ever in Ruthy’s adorable Green Gate frenzy kitchen in her cupcake boutique in the 17th. It was such a wonderful evening filled with giggles and so much gosh darn sugar. I learned a lot of really fun and useful words.
The classes are in groups of 5-6 people, and there are specific nights designated for kids classes. This one was on a Tuesday night and started at 7pm. For 40 euros you get to learn how to make cupcakes, bring home your cupcakes that you make and decorate, and a petit snack/tea while the cupcakes are baking. It’s a fantastic time so I highly recommend it. Mille mercis, Ruthy!
I clearly have some kind of addiction to eating cupcakes.

One of my favorite things about Paris is all of the old carousels. They are just so lovely and intricate. I finally for the first time went on a ride on it one stuffed Saturday, and boy was it something to remember.
It’s the simple things….
