Such a lovely setting!  These charming images from Le Marché St. George, a restaurant and boutique residential rental in Vancouver, B.C., are inviting; and convey warmth and understated elegance.

I’m in the early stages of planning a road trip to Vancouver.  Hubby and I will drive from Los Angeles passing through Oregon, Washington, then to British Columbia.

I’m super psyched as this will be the longest road trip we’ve ever driven; and naturally…we plan to visit Le Marché St. George.

The macaron is the anti-cupcake.  A cupcake comforts. A macaron teases. Dainty, nearly weightless, it leaves you hungrier than you were before. It is but a prelude to other pleasures. Your slacker boyfriend gives you a cupcake; your lover gives you macarons.

An excerpt from Airy Macarons written by Ligaya Mishan for The New York Times. Airy Macarons is a short and delightful read!  And, I heartily encourage you to visit Park and Cube to view lovely imagery of Ladurée in London.
