TWO OF THE BEST VINTAGE MOVIES EVER MADE...PERFECT FOR A COLD WINTER WEEKEND OR ANY TIME FOR THOSE WHO LOVE GREAT MOVIES FROM THE PAST!

MY TWO FAVORITE ALL TIME MOVIES ARE THE HEIRESS , (1949) STARRING, OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND AND MONTGOMERY CLIFT, AND GASLIGHT, (1944), STARRING INGRID BERGMAN AND CHARLES BOYER. THESE TWO MOVIES OFFER GREAT TALES OF SUSPENSE AND OSCAR WORTHY ACTING YOU DO NOT FIND IN TODAY'S FILMS. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ACTRESS. SHE KEEPS US AT THE EDGE OF OUR SEATS IN THIS TWISTING AND TURNING TALE OF A WOMAN OF WEALTH WHO IS TRICKED INTO THINKING SHE IS LOVED BY THE GOLD DIGGING MONTGOMERY CLIFT. INGRID BERGMAN PLAYS A SIMILAR ROLE AS THE WIFE OF A PSYCHOPATH, PLAYED BY CHARLES BOYER, WHO TRICKS HER INTO THINKING SHE IS CRAZY, SOON AFTER THEIR WHIRLWIND COURTSHIP AND THEN MARRIAGE. I HAVE SEEN BOTH OF THESE FILMS NO LESS THAN TWO DOZEN TIMES. THEY JUST DO NOT MAKE THESE CLASSICS ANYMORE...DAYS GONE BY, BUT HERE FOREVER IN FILM FOR US TO ENJOY!
PLEASE WATCH AND DO THINK OF ME.

LADURée PARIS MACARONS COMES TO NY VIA THE CHAMPS-ELYSées

IT ALL BEGAN IN 1862, WHEN LOUIS ERNEST LADUREE, A MILLER FROM FRANCE'S SOUTHWEST, CREATED A BAKERY AT 16 RUE ROYAL IN PARIS. IN 1871, WHILE BARON HAUSSMANN WAS GIVING PARIS A " NEW FACE" , A FIRE MADE ACCESS TO THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE BAKERY TO A PASTRY SHOP.

THE DECORATION OF THE PASTRY SHOP WAS ENTRUSTED TO JULES CHERET, A FAMOUS TURN-OF-THE-CENTURY PAINTER AND POSTER ARTIST. M CHERET SOUGHT  INSPIRATION FROM THE PAINTING TECHNIQUES USED FOR THE CEILING OF THE SISTINE CHAPEL AND THE GARNIER OPERA.

LADURée PARIS MACARONS IS NOW OPEN IN NY CITY, 864 MADISON AVE. PEOPLE LINE UP AROUND THE BLOCK TO BUY THESE FABULOUS MACARONS! I HAD A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY  TO VIEW THE STORE THIS AM BECAUSE I AM PATTY P! THEY WERE SO WONDERFUL AND I GIVE MANY THANKS TO ALL AT THIS SHOP FOR GIVING ME THE CHANCE TO BRING THESE MACARONS TO YOU IN MY BLOG. IT IS WORTH THE TRIP TO NY JUST TO HAVE THESE! I SURELY HOPE THEY OPEN IN BOSTON ONE DAY! PLEASE ENJOY THE PICS I TOOK , YOU CAN ALMOST TASTE THE MACARONS WHILE VISITING!
