Friday art: Macaroon prints


The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light.
Matthew Arnold  

Weekend is almost here! I'm still half on vacation, sitting in the garden doing illustrations for a little carneval-book. These whimsical prints however, are by Lucilles kitchen - and can be bought on Etsy. I found them so sweet and inspiring with the handwriting on silver Ladurée print. Hope your August weekend is happy, golden and filled with summer fun!

    Hi Martina,

    Having had lunch at Laduree in Paris, I know how special it it. Love the macaroons.

    Enjoy the weekend, sitting in the garden and doing your illustrations.

    Hugs

    How lovely are these, they would make any kitchen smile! I love macarons for their size, their colors, their bite. I have never been to La Duree though, I really should.
    Einen guten Sonntag, liebe Martina, are you still on vacation mode? Me not too bad we are full back on track! xxxx
