Francophile Fancies: Snowed Under in Paris

  • 24.12.13

{ink & watercolour illustration © Shell-Sherree}

When Tiffany & Co. took its gorgeous horse-drawn carriage to the streets of Paris, I have a feeling the smelling salts had to be passed around.  If Shakespeare had been there to seen it, he would have written Much Ado About Something.  It's so beautiful, it's worthy of its own supersized snow dome.  And I'd want matching ones for all of us. 

Merry Christmas to you.  May your days and night be merry and bright and resplendent with love, peace and happiness.

    This scan is coming up grey here on the blog, sorry! {On my screen, at least.} It's coming up normally elsewhere so it's something technologically beyond me. Not to worry. :)

    Words fail me! So borrowed some! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

      Heh! Thank you, dear cali ~ I'm very chuffed to have inspired such borrowing. It was the least I could do to thank you for showing me the Tiffany & Co images. Merry Christmas, eagle eyes. ;)

    How could one not swoon upon seeing such a gorgous vision of Paris! I hope any little people in the scene aren't too freaked out to see a huge cat looming over the city. Thank you for such a lovely Christmas gift! Best wishes for a wonderful new year!

    Oops—I'm a bit late to this Christmas party. Must say that presented with something as lovely as that Parisian globe de neige, I might come down with a slight case of the vapors myself. Pass the smelling salts, please—and have a very Happy New Year and the best of the best in 2014, ma belle Shell!
