Talk about a feast for the eyes... Bonjour Paris by Luisa Maria of Personally Selected may be one of the most beautiful blog posts I have ever seen. There are several video/music clips throughout to set the scene so be sure to click on those as well. At the top of the page is a "translate" option so you can read the words Luisa Maria wrote to accompany all this gorgeousness (I fell in love with this post before I realized I could translate it).

More loveliness comes from Dreams on 34th Street...in Mon Rêve...Fille de Fleur Lynne dreamed of opening a French flower shop...that also sells pastries...and has French book readings and art classes for children...I can pretty much guarantee you I would be a regular at her shop if she opened it near where I live.
