They turned out beautifully and were absolutely delicious. My wife then spotted your scarves and loves your marvellous fashion and now both of us have taken to reading your blog in the morning as it is so wonderfully uplifting! Thank you very much for all your posts, they are so appreciated.

It was issued for the opening of the Rue de Sevres store in 2010. <br /><br />The original CWs are only available in Paris (if they still have them). I remember a pale pink and a white/turquoise/blue CW. <br /><br />For the SS2012 collection, the design has been re-issued in several CWs. Those are/were avaiable world wide. Mine is marine/turquoise/caramel.. to see pictures, please click this link: <br /><a href="http://www.maitaispicturebook.com/2013/01/souvenir-from-paris.html" rel="nofollow">RdV Rive Gauche</a><br /> <br />Hope this helps!MaiTaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256110739626579757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529262281526104323.post-44789445178584015922013-03-18T17:57:37.138+01:002013-03-18T17:57:37.138+01:00Yes, icing sugar is the same as 'confectioners...Yes, icing sugar is the same as 'confectioners' or 'powdered' sugar (in France it's called 'sucre glacé').
