faire la vaisselle

Souvenirs de Paris.

French plates by Paola Navone and vintage cutlery by Sabre.

After Paris in August for a couple of days, we had bruch today with our new plates and cutlery from Merci.

Both not dishwasher proof, so I did the dishes myself, with pleasure!

In the next days I will come back with some Paris posts. We had an amazing time, I think it was our best stay in Paris ever.
