Browsing Boutiques Without Taking the Trip - NYTimes


The Assignment today: paint this piece of framboise pastry.
La Janice showed up today looking like a framboise/raspberry herself to do a print run and get a paint lesson.
She brought along a nicely coordinated pastry package from Boulangerie Morange 123, rue Mouffetard.
Our assignment: eat this baby. Not hard work really...
Janice says she's not so fond of pistache but you'd never know it. The cake was gone in a flash. Not too sugary but Very raspberryesque.
The lesson assignment: paint watercolor blobs
Using Janice's Canson paper
Janice gets a gold star.
Next assignment: one I've been dragging my heels on, if that were possible, which at the moment it isn't. Go take my post-cast boot prescription to the pharmacie. Obviously I can't turn up at the Doc's next week with no boot, but after Susan A. said her boot cost $700 (in the US) I was hesitating. A lot.
Janice took the prescription in and shot above as she placed the order. Whatever did we do before Smart phones? Turns out my French boot from Chaussure Sober will cost a mere 33.20€ !!! Yay.
No Louboutin but c'est la vie. Way better than the cast right?

This week I got a query from Stephanie, working on a shopping online story. My assignment: answer a few questions about my Paris in Your Mailbox sketch business on Etsy. Et voila! PBer Joyce let me know the story,
