ahhh... your beautiful photos conjure up memories of my grad trip to paris last march. ever since i got back to Toronto, i have been searching everywhere for the perfect Parisian macarons... But they are no where to be found! :(
My favorite treat in the world! I would be delighted to win them. :)
Oh Laduree! I love them so, I wonder would they survive a trip all the way to Malaysia lol?
Can't wait to see your next Paris posts:)
xx
Oh Macaron's! My favorite! I woudl love to try some from the famed Laudree!
Me, ME, ME!!!! I'm a sugar addict and macarons are divine! Wouldlove to have even just ONE...
i've never had their macarons before, but they're so pretty!
awesome giveaway!

Oh la la La Duree!!!! I'll bet these taste like heaven...and PARIS in the spring time!
oh, how yummy!! i'd love to win these. i really miss so many things about paris, including macaroons!
Pick me please! Heaven in a box!
I've never had macaroons. They look so good!!! Count me in please!
How divine!
Oh, How I have always wanted to go to Laduree!. They say it is an experience a girl would never forget.
How thoughtful of you to bring these back to share!
La Bonne Femme
Beautiful! Macarons and Photography---two of my favorite things! So jealous you went to Laudree.
Very exciting!!
That's wonderful, Tina. I would love to be included in the giveaway. I must go now as I am in shock at Giulia the Gattina's behavior. She was just discovered with tissue paper shreds on her ear-tips. The damages: four boxes of (expensive) recycled tissue, opened, & shredded. She has been banished to her cat cottage. She has appealed to you & others (as supporters) to appeal her sentence. I told her Coco & Kali would never do such a thing. Back me up on this, even if it's not true.
ciao bella

So pretty!
I'm going to Paris on March, and I've never been there, so your posts are very inspiring to me! Thank you for your beautiful blog, and I hope I'll be lucky enough to win this giveaway!
Ooo French macarons! C'est magnifique!
I think this might be the closet I get to Paris for the time being. I'd love to share these with some close friends!
I have never had a macaroon in my life so I feel like I should have my first experience with these!
they are so beautiful and i bet delicious
I'm so desperate to try laduree macarons, they just look so beautiful and fit for a princess.
Fingers crossed then i suppose! Sarah x x
I've really enjoyed your blog posts and pictures! It makes me want to get out of Pasadena (while I love it so) and travel soon!
Your posts and pictures from Paris make me want to go myself! Maybe if I close my eyes and enjoy one of these delicious macarons I can pretend.
Oh! how i would love to taste one of those! I haven't yet, but they look amazing!!
Your pictures of Paris make me really look forward to my trip, i love them!
i must admit that i have been eyeing these delicious looking treats for some time now, but have never actually tasted one before! i can't think of a better way to taste my first macaron than to taste one from france!
Surprisingly-I have never tasted a macaron! Where have I been?
Ahhh! J'adore Laduree! Welcome home from your incredible trip!
je suis sûr que c'est si bon!
oh, yes please! there's something about macarons that make me incredibly happy. thank you!
I'm incredibly jealous of you and your adventure. I can't wait for you to get back and give more details. I've drooled over pictures of macarons but have never tried one. If I win this will be my first!
A Parisian macaroon provides just enough bliss ... if you can bare to tear into their beauty.
oh my goodness these are so cute and look delicious!
MmM!! Love macaroons! Such an instant getaway to Paris.
How lovely! You know I've never had one before, and I've always wanted to find out what they taste like! *crosses fingers*
xo
Cassie
Oooohhhh! Yum! They're so beautiful...
oh, your trip seemed like a dream! I would love to see paris... but this little treat would satisfy my parisian appetite quite nicely!
XO.
Ahhh I have always wanted to try Laudree ones! I love macaroons!
Oui, oui, s'il vous plait!
The best macarons I've ever had were in Toulouse, and since I can't get over to France nearly as much as I'd like, these would be a very welcome reminder of my trip there.
Mmmmm macaroons! I love them. I just don't know of any place around here that sells them.
You are too sweet, I love that you're sharing a little bit of Paris with us :)!
These are my new obsession. They are so pretty and delicious!
When I came home from studying abroad in Paris for six months, I brought my parents a box of macarons (though they were from Gerard Mulot). I adore Laduree though! And all macarons!
You devil/darling, you! {I'm drooling at the keys as I type}: Hope you've enjoyed your travels abroad, lovely.
Cheers.
Wow, colorful AND delicious! Love it.
What a wonderful treat to brighten up the winter!
sarahbma@gmail.com
too sweet!
Mmm, how tempting, Aunt Tina! I would really love to be entered into this delicious raffle. Hopefully it is not my only chance to have a taste of Paris... ah, to dream.
Much love,
Savannah
Well this is too good to pass up ;)
xoxo
Wow! Your pictures from Paris inspired me! Two summers ago I was there seeing it all for the first time. I think I had the perfect lemon tart there, but never the perfect macaron!
I am so IN!
By the way, I'm going to Paris again in a couple of months and was wondering if you've thought about a blog post about your favourite places/tips for travellers. I've visited lots of places on my previous trips, but it would be nice to have your opinion :)
Omg, I want! So glad you're back, can't wait to see all the photos and hear about Paris!
I've always wanted to go to Paris! A lovely bunch of blog posts, by the way. :)
oh, so pretty. even too pretty to eat.
YUM YUM YUM I would LOVE that treat
i'm really happy you enjoyed your trip. I was in Paris once for one day and it rained all the time so i think i didn't see the biggest beauty of the city. Waiting for more posts : )
Do you have any idea how much I would LOVE to win this giveaway! Oh Paris...how I yearn for thee!
oh la la, j'adore des macarons!
You are an inspiration, daily. I am so happy you had this opportunity to visit Paris. I would be thrilled to have a taste as well.
oh this post has me in the baking mood. I doubt they will be as bon an these, but I may have to whip up some macarons later :-)
Is it sacrilegious that Ive never had a macaron? it'd be awesome if my first taste was from Paris! (Must make a note to have one next time I go!)
What fun you must be having! And thanks for sharing some of the fun with us!
i would love for my 1st macaron to be a real macaron from paris!!
I have never tried macarons before and would love to win this little giveaway!
wow Tina! Is it possible to send these to Iran if I hopefully win!? :D
miss you my sweet friend,
xo
oo la la! Even though I've been to France, I've never tried a macaron. And I didn't get a chance to check out the shops on Champs-Elysees! Was extremely tired that night...also didn't want to spend too much!
Merci for holding this giveaway!
S'il vous plait!! I miss them terribly.
i've been to paris, but i've never had macarons! i was young and didn't know about them, but i'm dying to try them now! pick me!
French macarons are the best! If US readers are eligible I would love a taste.
!!! I cannot to see more of your Paris posts!
I'm dying to hear more about your Paris apartment.I'm toting with going in March.Lovelythoughtful commentary with your posts, especially the ice caps.......sobering.
yuuuuuummm... puis j'en avoir? merci pour la giveway! (no idea how to say that in french, heh)
Bring tears to my eye's . . . .
Count me in, these things are my FAVORITE!
Oh my goodness! I am overwhelmed by your sheer generosity of putting those up for a giveaway. I've only had macarons a couple of times, and never ones from as reputable a place a Laudree.
I've never had them before... but they always look so pretty!
These always leave me curious - Everyone photographs them so beautifully and they look so wonderful. But I've never had one before!
I've never had a macaron but I've always wanted to try one! Keeping my fingers crossed :)
thank you for sharing your paris trip with us! makes me want to plan my own getaway very very soon
XOXO
oh yes please! oui oui oui!
Delurking to say YUM! Would LOVE some :)
please count me in! they almost look too pretty to eat, but i'm sure i could manage...
oh how can you bear to give them away!
Love these!!!!! Yummers!
xo-z
This may be the best giveaway in the history of giveaways. YUM!!!
Je veux! Je veux!
Ah, love love. I blogged about these lovely cookies back in March. Since then, I've tried some from many places, including Starbucks! Would love to have the real thing!
Ohhh, yes... yes please! I've never been to Paris. Only vicariously through movies, photos, and your last few blog entries. What a lucky girl you are!
If those macarons are sent my way, I will die a happy lady. Laduree is, how you say, the beesknees. I would even happily exchange them for a pretty little original drawing.
I can dream of Paris with this lovely box!
would so so love those!
My birthday is in a week, & these would LITERALLY BE THE BEST GIFT EVER!
i've been having sweet, colorful macaron dreams lately. I'm pretty sure that they want me too :)
xxoo
The problem with Laduree macarons is that they are so divinely beautiful, you feel the tiniest bit guilty eating them! Have a safe trip home.
Oh, bonjour macaroons. =) I loved reading about your trip and lovely apartment.
Oh what a lovely giveaway!
I have never tried a laduree macaroon but cannot express how much I would love to gobble them all up!! I would have to take a zillion photos of them first though!
xxx
what a generous giveaway! they look so lovely and colorful, perfect for winter.
That is so sweet of you. They look so yummy! I made my own last week but I would love to try the "real" thing.
ooh!
i've been wanting to try these ever since i saw all these tantalizing photos on blogs...
annikah25@gmail.com
paris! :)
oh my goodness, count me in! :) how wonderful of you. <3
oh how amazing! i would loooove to have some macarons from laduree! my mom and aunt were in paris this past spring and tried to bring back some laduree macarons for my birthday but were asked to leave after trying to take pictures inside the store!
I've ALWAYS wanted to try a macaroon!!
xoxo,
Christen
count me in! i adore laduree, it'd be the perfect pick me up. x
It seems like every blog is nuts about macarons lately, and these would really satisfy the craving I've been having!
i loooove macarons! LADUREE <3
Oooh, Laduree! Macarons are the perfect combination for me between art and deliciousness. :)
oh my goodness! yes, please!
You're so lucky--the pictures are so dreamy!~ I almost made it to Paris a few years ago but couldn't go b/c of my boss. You've inspired me to put it back on my radar~
I have absolutely no idea what those are, but if you like them, then I am sure to love them. You have such amazing taste.
so beautiful to look at and equally as beautiful to eat! love your paris photos!
Oh my goodness, I love macarons! And Ladurée is so very fancy.
these look delish! i love the pretty colors they come in.
i would love nothing more. a little trip back to paris - laduree & pierre herme were my favorite. :)
madomosielle! (or however you spell it). here to leave a little 'hello', and lots of hope to win ze delicous treat!
welcome back from paris!
How was I so lucky to be a first time visitor to your blog on a giveaway day?!
I am a huge macaroon fan and have only dreamt of these beauties.
Crossing my fingers...
Ooooohhhhh! How very kind of you! It would be nice to get a taste of Paris. because I've never tried a macaron before. I'm missing a lot, no?
I would soooo love to win these. I did not know of them when I went to Paris-one of my few regrets in life!
They look delicious. I look forward to learning more about your trip. Thanks for the opportunity of a little taste of Paris. Au Revoir!
oooooooooo!!! i have been wanting to try macarons out for AGES. they look so sweet! and right from pairs, what a treat!
yum, count me in!
Going to Lauduree is one of my places to go to in Paris. The Macarons look delicious.
I have never been to paris but reading your blog has gotten me closer to reaching france. I just tried macarons from starbucks this past christmas as a gift to myself, a little gift in such a beautiful box!
Unbelievable you're giving away a box of macarons? :O
How will they survive the trip while being sent?
they look scrumptious :)
Believe it or not I've never had a Macaron experience! I dream of going to Paris, and I love the google commercial you've posted above :)
i hope they'll survive! i'll put the box in bubble wrap!!
I've never had a macaroon, but these look amazing!
Macaroons are delightful!
Oh my goodness! I just posted up about how gorgeous macarons are and how I've always wanted to try them! I hope I win!
iamemmamusic.blogspot.com
J'adore!!! I've tried half of one and absolutely loved them. The girls in my dorm would be so jealous!
It's been too long since I savored Paris... oui oui oui!
Oh, I've never had a macaron! I'd love to win and get to taste my first one, straight from Paris!
Oh my goodness, those look too pretty to eat...but I'm sure I could manage. :D
i have dreamed about tasting a macaron from laudree! never have i been to paris...if i win i promise to share them with my other girlfriends who dream of paris!
mmm.. i always wanted to taste these. When my cousin was over there last year he asked me what he should bring back and this place totally slipped my mind and I forgot! These look amazingly delicious.
the best!
Would they make it to the city of Santa Cruz? <3 <3
Tres tres magnifique!
-GASP- MACARONS!?
OHMY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! ♥
I've always wanted to try Laudree Macarons!
oh, tina... i love macarons. these would make a great subject for my photography class!!!
oh! want!
I would love to sample those works of art! :)
Those are so pretty! I've never had one ...
ahhh! i love macarons, on my last trip to paris i wasn't able to make it into one of the Ladurée shops to get any and had to wait until i was at the airport...i ended up eating all (6) at once before i even boarded my flight!
your pictures are beautiful, makes me want to go back right away!
ps there was a comment above about not finding macarons in Toronto, there is a café called Nadege that they can go to on queen st w. hopefully they read this.
I've seen so many posts and photos about these, I'm dying to try one! (or a whole box) They're so beautiful.
I have been enjoying your blog in my bloglines list. It's great to see and read all the nifty information and happenings that you have posted.
I have been stalking macarons for awhile now, wishing that there was a place in town that made them. I have begged our local bakery to make me some. The colors and the friendly look just appeal to me. I love cupcakes and these would be an upgrade to cupcakes. lol :) xoxox
oh, you're just the nicest person, to share the goodness!
They look so delicious, have never tasted them.. and never been to Paris. I looked so lovely in your posts!
so beautiful, would love a bite!
these are absolutely gorgeous! x
Ah, those fabulous treats... and the elegant setting that is Laduree. Having experienced them before, I will defer my chance at receiving the macaroons in favor of someone who needs to savor them for the first time.
But to vicariously visit Laduree and see recipes of some of their other famous creations (surely the one for the macaroons must be a state secret), treat yourself to a little tour through Linda Dannenberg's book, "Paris Patisserie Boulangerie: Recipes from Thirteen Outstanding Parisian Bakeries" (Clarkson Potter, NY 1994). The fabulous photography puts you right in the setting and makes your mouth water, and the recipes are to dine for!!
Today is my lucky day! I just found a gold wedding band on the sidewalk in front of Laduree!
I will gladly give it to you for just one of those macarons.
I love your blog! I've been reading for months now... would LOVE some macarons! Please!
your stay in Paris looked wonderful...but how could it not be...it is PARIS!!
Just came across this blog. It's lovely! I love macarons but have never had Laduree macarons!
I would love to win, like everyone here. :) Maybe it will be my turn to win, maybe not. No matter, delight in throwing my ring in! :)
Mary Ann in Tennessee (aka Joy)
oh ouiiii Ladurée! pick moi, pick moi!!!
I just found your lovely blog, and the pictures of Paris remind me of my trip there :)
I really must go back one day, but until then your gorgeous photos must suffice!
Oh my! Those are beautiful and look delicious. How generous of you. Blessings. SusanD
so giddy with all the lovely colors on those macarons! would just make my weekend if I won!
id love to win!!!
so jealous of your amazing trip to europe!!
I have never tasted good macarons before. Pick me pick me. Have a good time in Paris x
I would love some macarons! Mmmm
A taste of Paris. How divine!
I have been wanting to go to Paris since I could talk...sadly I probably wont ever get a chance to see it physically but so thankful for your post of pictures :) btw those colors are amazing! I wonder what they taste like....
Nhamiiiiiiii...they look delicious:)
these are the BEST Macarons in the WORLD! i would love to have these :)
Is it too late? Ooooh, I hope not!
I'd love to taste those macaroons I've read soo much about. . . your blog is absolutely beautiful. One word of heartfelt advice. . . let go of the angst over your old job. Don't let one institution, one person, one group of people define who you are or what you can be. I've been there. I know.
I adore Paris and Laduree. Still trying to get a transfer to one of our European offices...
although I've never been to Paris, my lovely husband smuggled some Ladurée macarons home for me -- I've been in love ever since....

@maria s:
I think I've been able to let it go, most of it anyway. this trip really helped me to do that...
my ex took me to maison laduree on our first date (we met in paris). He was too cheap to buy anything, and we ended up just having coffee... these look AMAZING. I remember I was blown away by Maison Laduree.
my goodness, i'll bet those are such a delight!!
I learned to love macarons in Paris and since I've been back in the States, I have yet to find a decent one. Ah, I miss them! These would be so nice to receive!
Yummy!! They look delish!
Mmm. Macaroons are fabulous!! Yum!
Oh these look so colorful and pretty. I have never tried these but I would love to.
my all time favorite treat, and i've never tried the classic from laduree. fingers crossed!
Ma Ma Ma Macaroons!
Por favor, I weep every night for the lack of macaroons in the small Spanish city that I live in.
MMM, que bonito!
xxx
Aww they're precious hope you had a lovely time in Paris
Lovely!
oh. they look so much better than London's maccarons!
mmm, coloured joys :)
i have never had a macaroon and I'm dying to try them. What better wayt to start than with Lauderee!
They look so delicious!
I've lived in Paris a few times and visited many more, but my last visit was ages ago and I'm dying for a real macaron!
Macarons!! Sacre bleu! Yes, please. :-)
Does a better food exist? I think not.
Yum :)
They are so beautiful! Thank you for your posts from Paris, they have completely inspired me to return, I went there in 08 with my 9 year old daughter and we walked Paris, it was the most magical trip ever for both of us, the Louvre at night, night time fair ground rides and picnics by the Seine. Your photos evoked such memories, so we are planning to go again this summer and are even looking into staying at your beautiful little apartment! So thank you sooo much again. xxxxxx
Oh, I have been loving your Paris posts!
I would LOVE to win the macaroons! They look scrumptious! I love your posts on Paris. I especially love My Little Paris Apartment. So charming! :)
I love your blog!
Love your posts on Paris!
Love macaroons also!
Penelope Bianchi
I have dreamt about those macarons for over a year now! But I'm not in Paris so please make my dream come true!
I am in need of a bit of Paris, and since I cannot jump on a plane, the macaroons will do famously!
Ahh, pick me! I've never had a macaron... in fact, before reading lovely blogs such as this one, I had never even heard of them. Now, they seem rather emblematic of the type of blog I love most....
And besides, they seem so much more lovely and indulgent than boring ol' macaroons.
