Postcards from Paris: { winter's passing }

If asked who would paint this season; the time around Easter when spring has just arrived, but grey-overcast days still scatter the week with some in between fortunate days of picnic weather and soaking in the vitamin D.
It would be Édouard Vuillard, with his somber paintings of bouquets in vases against backdrops of mixed floral prints, and women in Gibson-girl hairstyles tending to children or gazing out a window.

There is a children’s song I grew up singing, and this past winter I sang in to a couple of French children who watch from time to time. It’s a simple song, and it was intended to teach them something to hum along to in English:
I looked out the window and what did I see?

  Popcorn popping on the apricot tree.

Spring has brought me such a nice surprise!

Popcorn popping right before my eyes.

I can take a handful and make a treat.

A popcorn ball that smells so sweet.

It wasn't really so, but it seemed to be

Popcorn popping on the apricot tree.

I always felt like I was singing out of tune from the season, while the tree branches were bare and there was an evident sense of winter-hibernation.
But there really is a season for all things, and moments of spring come as we patiently accept winter’s passing.  Just as I was attempting to calm the baby’s tears with popcorn popping I noticed out her bedroom window blossoms beginning to bud on the magnolia tree.

Bisous,
Reba

Postcards from Paris: { f o n t a i n e b l e a u }

On a profoundly sunny and peculiarly warm winter afternoon, we took a drive out to the château of Fontainebleau. The sun shined gold, illuminating the gilded features on the castle’s front gate.
Walking like cowboys on the cobblestone, certain emotions were left on hold. However, the romantic notion of a Sunday stroll through the topiary garden was something that could not be dismissed.
  As much as Fontainebleau can be mistakenly dismissed when compared to the grand scheme of Versailles. I am still learning not to compare things to others, even after recognizing certain English charms that reflect London’s Hyde Park; Fontainebleau still holds its own. Though the winter coats still lingered, the seagulls were out sunbathing on the lake and some of the Parisians were profiting from the early hints of spring outside the city limits.
Like the Kings of past France we took ease in our steps, enjoying what we could before we lost the sunlight and had to return back to the city. Not realizing that only a few days later, we’d be greeted by snowfall.
Bisous,
Reba

Raising the Bar

Is it Five O' Clock yet?

The cocktail hour has long been a cherished tradition of the South, a relaxing way to wind down and enjoy the conversation of friends and family, maybe a tasty little appetizer to nibble on, too. But why stop at the cocktail hour, when you can make it an all-out party?

Our newest collection of Bar accessories will have you shaking up a batch of Blueberry Martinis for an elegant cocktail in no time. 

Just because you're drink is fancy doesn't mean your bar-ware can't be fancy too!

 

Celebrate after a long day and toast to the warmth of spring with this favorite Blueberry Martini recipe!

Blueberry Martini

Handful of Fresh, Washed Blueberries (about 20 small)

1.5 Ounces Vodka

.5 Ounce Blue Curacao Liqueur

1/3 Ounce Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice, or more to taste

Garnish: Several Berries Skewered On A Cocktail Pick

Muddle the blueberries in a cocktail shaker. Add the vodka, curacao, and lemon juice. Fill the shaker with ice. Shake vigorously to help the blueberries release more color and flavor. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a chilled martini glass. Add the garnish. 

recipe from Southern Cocktails by Denise Gee

Swing by The Paris Market or shop our online store to style your next cocktail hour with our assortment of bar accessories!

Cheers!

Joyeuses Paques!

Its pretty easy being Green.

 St. Patrick's Day is almost here and as they say "It's the one day that everyone's Irish".

This saying couldn't be more accurate if you've ever traveled to Savannah for March 17th. Saint Patrick's Day is Savannah's largest annual celebration and the second largest St. Patrick's Day celebration and parade in the United States. People from all backgrounds, ethnicity's, and beliefs, don the color green and hit the streets for a week of shamrock shenanigans. 

Here at The Paris Market you can find the St. Patrick's Day hue around every corner.

Here are some of our favorite green themed products, perfect for the Irish spirit in us all!

Shamrock cookies specially baked for the holiday! Available in our Patisserie for a limited time!

 A little St. Patrick's Day Know-How

- Green is associated with St. Patrick's Day because it is the color of spring, Ireland and the shamrock.

-  Saint Patrick was born around 385 AD in the United Kingdom. His real name is believed to be Maewyn Succat

- The first St. Patrick's Day parade didn't take place in Ireland, but actually in New York City on March 17, 1762. 

- It is rumored that people give Saint Patrick credit for chasing all the snakes out of Ireland. The truth is that snakes are not indigenous to Ireland.

The Paris Market will be closed tomorrow, Saturday the 16th and will be open for St. Patrick's Day.

Wishing you a very glorious and green St. Patrick's Day this year!
-

St. Patrick's Day is with us,
The day when all that's seen
To right and left and everywhere
Is green, green, green!

And Irish tunes they whistle
And Irish songs they sing,
To-day each Irish lad walks out
As proud as any king.

I'll wear a four-leaf shamrock
In my coat, the glad day through,
For my father and mother are Irish
And I am Irish too!
