ooh la la

I love all things French and that is why I love The Paris Market store in Savannah, GA!

At 3:30am on April 24th, I packed my suitcase, filled my suv's tank up, and drove the 8 hours from Nashville to the beautiful and quite peachy town of Savannah. My Mom, who lives where I grew up in Michigan, has always wanted to visit Savannah. Well, her 50th birthday was that weekend and what better reason than that to head down there and celebrate it southern belle/tourist style (and southern gent style, for my step-dad who was there as well).

The first day there, we were strolling the beautiful streets when we came across The Paris Market store. I dragged my parents inside. I HAD to! And, they couldn't complain... "C'est la vie", right? YUPPERS! I stepped inside and "ooh, la la"! Tables and counters were filled with french antiques, fun little trinkets you could only find in Paris until God sent the owners to open up this little shop and make them available to all us fine americans, French toilet water :o) that smells like lavender, books galore, eiffel towers, chandeleirs, and a little cafe area with the menu painted onto a huge mirror in back of the counter. Let's not forget the fruit water in the pretty etched paris decanters (how I wish I had a fancier name for them right now), and the delightfully sweet infused water I had that tasted like a pina colada straight outta paris via mexico (I gave into the barista's beverage suggestion!)... What a treat! C'est magnifique! (Are you havin' enough yet of my french jibber jabber?)

Anyway, I just had to post some of the pics from this cute petit (sorry... more french) shop! I took so many pictures with my new camera when I was in Savannah, that I will have to post some in another blog entry or you can just check out my flickr page. So, mosey on back over here soon to read about our other dixieland adventures while in georgia and to see a few pics from the one and only Paula Deen's restaurant, some of the beautiful historic homes, lush garden squares, and a few pics of spanish moss thrown in for good measure!

Au revoir mes amies!!!! (I know I know... I had to give ya one more jib jab for the road!)
