A few lovely little things from Paris, Geneva, Venice



My family and I took a lovely trip to Europe last April. It's a lot of fun wandering around taking inspiring photos for projects back home. Here is a photo I took in a small bookstore in the Left Bank. "It's my new signature wrapping," I mused (maybe squealed) to my mom. It's so simple: plain wrap, contrast ribbon and wax, and an initial seal. In Venice, there are beautiful bins of colorful sealing wax that smell wonderful during the melting process and look so lovely when sealed. I'm pretty sure I purchased presents that I could wrap with my new method. The picture on the left is of a few little gifts I picked up for my family. Italian wine, a Murano glass wine stopper and fleur de sel.

Coming soon! An ongoing list of les bonnes addresses where I list fun shops, restaurants, hotels as well as activities with kids. http://lesbonnesaddresses-camille.blogspot.com/ . I'll post when it's ready to view.


Have a lovely day and be sure to do something special for YOUrself!
