Market Day!

We picked up some beautiful antique books at the Book Market today.

I'll be listing these in Rue 15 Vintage soon.

They are just absolutely beautifully well made - intricate - little objects of history.

L can never get me out of the book market when we go.

I could just stay and look all day!

This is a very petite prayer book - it is still in very good condition - and it even had a few prayer cards stuck in between the pages.

Raised leather spine, leather tooling, beautiful decorative end sheets - it's just lovely.

That is just one gorgeous book!

Oh and my very reliable source let us know that Laduree actually had a fire last October!

Oh no - we had no idea! We peeked at pictures showing smoke pluming out of the building. So, hopefully it will be up and running again soon as a tea house.

In the meantime...

The macaroons are still super delicious.
