And the finale of my week long posts dedicated to Laduree. I hope you all have enjoyed the posts with one of my obsessions in life ^_^ I've certainly enjoyed all of your comments and thoughts as well. My finale is a twist from what Laduree is known for and taken from their books and publications. Laduree is publishing a gourmet travel journal that features watercolors by Elsie called "Carnet de Voyage". I really love watercolors and thought I would end on a serene note.

Now this is a dream.

This is a great book for eye candy with beautiful photos

and articles of Laduree's many flavors and perfumes.

Ladurée « Instants Gourmands »

Author : Pascal Bonafoux

Published by : Flammarion

The book is written in storybook style and talks of the

history of Laduree. Laduree pretty much invented

the modern "Salon de thé" with many famous people
linked to the now famed salon. The book also contains

recipes and tips including the recipe for macarons

which takes 24 hours to make.

You can send this Laduree watercolor in

post card format to a friend!

Speaking on the subject of watercolors, I also wanted to

mention that I'm a big fan of Anne Harwell's watercolors.
This is her latest commission below. Isn't it wonderful?

Visit her blog Annechovie. Her art is available on Etsy.
