Window shopping (online) at Anthropologie, I found these cool, whimsical francophile plates. They are quite a bit out of my price range at $24 each, but with sweet sketchings of:
1) the Eiffel Tower
2) a precious puppy
3) red mushrooms and happy snails
4) and a blue bird,
they are delightful to look at. If you desire a little whimsy in your day, definitely check out these plates here.

Laguiole Knives
Lovely Laguiole knives! They really are l'art et la table. I found these colourful beauties at Tuesday Mornings for $19.99. They remind me of the restaurant La Coupole in the Monteparnasse area of Paris. Great memories, great knives. I can't wait to go on a picnic. Sunday, January 25, 2009
