Spring in the City



Green and Gold Delivery
Cartier Store at the corner of
Graben and Kohlmarkt


Remember Yellow and Celeste?
Hermès Boutique
Graben


Hermès
Every time I walk by that store,
I swoon.
Lucky me, there's no charge for that!

Gold Leaf Macaron
A cookie with its very own jewelry
Have I ever mentioned that I am
hopelessly, passionately .... oh well,
Zum Schwarzen Kameel!
I shouldn't spell any secrets
in my bewitched state.

Dreaming of summer in turquoise
while waiting for the streetcar.
One of these days I shall
ask her out for coffee.

Escada at Graben
Petersplatz window

Hermès Boutique
Shouldn't there be a law
against walking by the Hermès store
with an orange bag?

A Touch of Orange
Cafè Corto e Nero
Wiedner Hauptstraße 48

  7. @ ParisBreakfasts:
    Yes, "blau" = blue,

    I stole "celeste" = cerulean = himmelblau
    from the Italian (I like its sound and the connotations it evokes when I hear it.

    Cafè Corto e Nero is fairly new, so you may be right. I'll ask the friend who took me there!

    Rochambeauy:
    You are welcome! :-)

    Paz:
    That macaron adds a whole new dimension to "All that glitters", doesn't it? ;-)
