Macaroon double heart tarts stuffed with strawberries and creme and sprinkled with pistachio nuts, from a Paris boulangerie. The platter is 1950s American and the lace-trimmed linen, vintage French.
As Emily Dickinson noted, "That love is all there is, is all we know of love." Wishing you a very Happy Valentine's Day!





beauty-ful.

Even a common patisserie in Paris does the best deserts. It is not the same in Marseilles. These hearts look delicious

Tara, you always make me feel SO eager to get to Paris! I hope you'll be there in October?
These tarts look yummy, but the quote MUST go on my wall.

Here it is Valentine's Day and I had to stop by and wish you a great one.
a wish from me:
On this day, may you know, really know how much you are loved. May you recognize love in all it's forms. May you be grateful for the love of children and pets, old friendships and new. May your heart swell with all the beauty this life brings. Happy Valentine's Day, my friend.
