I was so disappointed to have missed the Paris *Foodie Friday* last week that I'm indulging myself by bringing it to you today.
*Please enlarge the photos to view the details*
A Parisian dinner for two
Bon Appetit dishes adorned with Vintage linen handkerchiefs.
The lil' Marie Antoinette shoes were purchased from the dollar store.
They made the perfect pair for salt and pepper.

The beverage glasses with french script are compliments of Lidy at French Garden House.
I wanted to share a few of my favorite French treasures .You'll find crown embellishments everywhere...from my jewelry
( as pictured on the dress form in the first photo )
to my business card compact that is also from Lidy.
My vintage Marie bottle is from Tracie at my Petite Maison. It has a brass stamping of Dauphine de France it's Circa 1940.
The perfume bottle appears to be clear cut crystal, but if you look real close...

It actually reflects a rainbow of colors. Beautiful Aurora Borealis prisms.

I adore these dessert plates.
There's a different Parisian pattern on each one.
I fashioned a napkin ring from a miniature tiara.

Yes, I paid a dollar for all of the silverware at the yardsale. it was for the whole plastic bag full. It's fun that you have the same knife.
I am glad to see I am not the only night owl around. I was working on my blog when your comment came through. Discovering a site like yours is such fun and inspirational, you have done a beautiful job. The moment I saw your header I was hooked! I am going to have a better look around. It is nice to meet you…. ~Cathy~

P.S You mentioned your friend from the UK's accent and things she says. Well I dont think you would understand a word of what I say as I have quite a distinctive accent. I am from a place called Newcastle Upon Tyne in the UK and people from there are called 'Geordies'. The only person I can think of that is famous who you may have heard speak with my accent is Cheryl Cole from Girls Aloud and Britains X Factor??? Some Geordies are what we describe as 'broad Geordie' which means the accent is even harder for someone from outside Newcastle to understand. We say things like 'Howay the lads' (come on the lads when referring to the football team)'Gannin to the toon'(going to the town) 'Alreet Pet or Alreet Hinny' (an affectionate greeting to a lady asking how they are) and if you asked some one for directions and they told you to 'Torn reet at the roondaboot' it would mean Turn right at the roundabout! LOL! See I talk gobbledygook! X
P.P.S Mr Kitten told me to tell you 'he could eat a scabby horse between two bread vans' that means he's hungry. Hee Hee!

The lil' Marie Antoinette shoes are a great dollar store find. WOW!
Also adore the crown napkins rings.

Have a great week.

I'm still on blogging break, but I checked in for a few and wanted to drop by and thank you for the sweet note you left on my blog. And I'm so glad I followed the bread crumb trail you left for me! I would have hated to miss this!
You did a wonderful job, and those tarts look divine!
XO,

To answer your question, since the recipe for Mr. Goodbars is made in a jelly roll pan, it yields quite a few bars, depending on how you cut them. Larger ones, you might get 30, smaller maybe up to 42.

You did a beautiful job

Love your flowering tree ... we just planted a new one to replace the (2) we lost because of age. I truly missed them.
I'll be adding you to my 'following', you will inspire me.
