What I Buy Wednesday

Whew! I'm still catching up after our trip. My sisters--all SIX of them (my 2 sister-in-laws have been in the family for 50 years, so they are sisters!) are arriving tomorrow for a long weekend. Sooo, it will be next week until I can get back on track with the blog. 

But, I can post what Sandy, Mindy and I bought in Paris. Stephanie forgot to photograph hers. 

Once we were on the trip, the weather was a bit grey and cloudy. I decided that I wanted to get an umbrella. I don't know what's happened to all of our umbrellas. I have an ugly black one in my car. I also have my London one. Now I have a Paris one. I've already put it in my car. When I saw the scarf, it reminded me that I need a new white one. I liked the little silver Eiffel towers. I got the Starbucks mug from Disneyland Paris. We spent Sandy's birthday there. The macaron key chain was an impulse buy because it was something like 2 for10€ or 3 for 12€. Steph treated me so I didn't really buy it! I've put it on the little white tree I have in my scrapbook room. Butch bought the chocolates from Stohrers dating back to 1730.

It's such a cute shop. Nicky bought what he says is the best chocolates he's ever had here. He gave me a taste--it was pistachio filled--really delicious!

Lastly, the lemon napkins---I bought them since I had just put together my summer table scape.

Notice the vase of flowers. They couldn't be more perfect. They are from Mindy and Justin for us giving up our aisle and window seats on the international flight from hell to get home! We traded them for an aisle and a middle. Oh, the things you'll do for the love of your children! I want everybody to be happy! Anyway, the flowers were a fun surprise.

Now for Sandy's purchases: 

She made quite a haul. She got herself 3 Starbucks mugs: two from Disneyland and Disney Studios and one from Paris. The champagne flutes are from Disney too--the glasses came with the purchase. The purse was her birthday present--June 3rd--we celebrated at Disneyland. She got a birthday button to wear. You can see her macaron key chain. She bought the placemat for Titan's food and water bowl. I love her gold tote and hat. The macarons in the box and the baguette in the box are socks. The cup is from Laduree'--she and Greg had a really good brunch there. 

Greg got himself this chef's apron, a flag pin--and I think the other two things might be stickers. 

Mindy and Justin:

*Chocolates shaped like little pastries

*Eiffel Tower chip clips

*2 kinds of tea (one from champagne and one from the place on our street)

*Face cream and face mask from local shops

*Souvenir Disneyland champagne flute

*Disneyland Starbucks mug

*Bottle of champagne from the small family-owned vineyard they went to

*Pins for their backpack

I'd say we all did our part to add to the economy of Paris!! 

From now on, I think we are going to have "show and tell" when we are together.
