5 out of 5 starsI couldn’t resist this Eiffel Tower watercolor to go with Carol’s Cherry Blossom Eiffel Tower. Carol always sends orders out promptly. It is such a delight receiving one of her cheery envelopes from Paris….and you never know what delightful surprises you’ll find inside!

5 out of 5 starsIf you have a friend that LOVES everything Paris, this is the gift to give. I purchased this as a birthday present for just such a friend, I gave her a hit that a unique gift would be arriving sometime around her birthday. She waited until our phone call to open the envelope. She was blown away by the quality of the enclosed items, especially the miniature original. She said the best part of the gift is that she has something to look forward to for the next 5 months. Well done, Carol.

5 out of 5 starsWhen I left Paris, I missed the joie de vivre I experienced there more than anything. Carol’s beautiful, joyful art brings all of that back to me, now, every day. Merci mille fois, Carol!

Have fun n Paris. Get Paris letters in your mailbox.
I paint Paris dreams!
Bonjour,
On December 25th, 2012 I moved from New York City to Paris to paint watercolors and I've never looked back.
I create watercolor sketches, monthly illustrated letters and Paris maps based on my daily experiences living in this beautiful, vibrant city. I'm passionate about French pastry, calligraphy, Belgian Sheepdogs, cherry blossoms, Shalimar, vanilla beans, wild strawberry jam ...just about everything French. And I love painting them all.
I know I would miss Paris if I ever left. And I imagine others feel the same way. Its why I decided to turn my artwork into a monthly subscription service. You can receive a little reminder of Paris each month in your mailbox to brighten your day. Its lovely to share Paris’ beauty with others.
Please visit my blog, Parisbreakfast.com You'll find French handwritting, pastry, dogs, art exhibits, flowers, fashion windows. I love living here and sharing my experiences with you.
Au revoir ! Bon journée

Owner, Artist
Paris painted letters sent to your mailbox monthly created in my Ile Saint-Louis studio. My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it. Fashion and shoe design in NYC, Hong Kong, India, Italy, but painting in Paris is the Best!
