Au Nom de la Rose - Paris, 2009

I'm not posting the website for au nom de la rose because it makes it look like a 1-800-FLOWERS-type store where you might find something like this and it's actually anything but. Yes, it's become a chain, but if you want something really pretty to bring to a dinner party in Paris (since it's considered bad manners to bring wine), this is the place to go. It's also the perfect place to go if you want a great Parisian-looking family photo as it's become the store's signature to have piles of colorful rose petals all over the ground outside their storefronts.
