The history of Parisian tea rooms is intimately tied to the history of the Ladurée family. It all began in 1862, when Louis Ernest Ladurée, a man from France’s southwest, created a bakery in Paris at 16 rue Royale. The timing was right and this iconic French brand is still a favorite of tourists and locals. Learn more and visit the tearoom on your next trip to Paris!
You’ll find vintage French items, lifestyle essentials, hand crafted copper kitchen items and more at expat Cat Bude’s delightful shop and website. She shares beautifully photographed snippets of her life with her French family in the Normandy countryside as well.

One of the most asked questions that I receive is about mirrors. Where do I find them and can I recommend sources? While many of my mirrors are second hand vintage or antique, there are some wonderful reproductions that I own as well! I’m linking several affordable in stock (as of time of this writing) options below, so simply tap on any link for more information!
This one would be simply perfect above a sink in the powder room and is similar to one that I have!
