Last night we waited for you at the aux tours de notre dame...
and you never showed! There was rumors that you were having a randevú with Romain Duris and if so we forgive you!
Let me tell you what you missed out on so you can be très jaloux....The food was très magnifique! We shared beef_bourguignon ...
pommes frites...
quiche....
Seared Foie Gras with Spiced Pears....
but we passed on the escargots....
After that you would think we could eat no more, but seeing the belles pâtisseries....
we couldn't resist the temptation of crepes..... 
and creme brulee...
and how could we not partake of a bottle of Veuve Clicquot...
and toast to you.... 
We waited until dark for you, but the lights of Paris called to us and I snapped this parting shot to remember our evening of celebration....
You were missed ami doux!xoxo,

Dearest Rue...
You are sooooo right... I was having a rendezvous with Romain Duris sitting outside in another cafe not far from you...
however it is not what you think... and it is quite top secret... Fifi is working on a SCREENPLAY for a romantic comedy... I am interested in using a foreign actor... not sure if I want a Frenchman or an Englishman like Orlando Bloom...
Ooooh it does look like I missed out on a divine meal and ooooh my favorite champagne! I do sooooooooooo LOVE all the cafes around France... I recently painted a few more of them (available in my ETSY SHOP)...
I now have a collection of Frameable Notecards ready for sale in My Etsy Store...
BUT FIRST... how about a GIVEAWAY... leave a comment (and be sure to leave your email address if you don't have a blog) and you could WIN a set of my NEW French Cafe Collection of Frameable Notecards! Deadline Sunday @ noon PDT... 3 Winners announced on Monday, April 27 post!
AGAIN... Thank you for filling in for me today... I'm sure Susan and her Tablescape Thursday people loved your post... they too have some wonderful post... you can visit them HERE.

Ooooh...Fifi! I KNEW you were up to something FUN and FABulous...can't wait to hear about it over champagne tonight!
;-D
Good morning! Skippety hopped over to your page from Rue's. I'm not sure I've been in Paris before, but the notecards look as though perhaps I need to visit more often. Lovely cards.

OMG, escargot, quiche and champagne! I'll just die now!
How nice that Rue is in Paris too! Too bad the two of you didn't connect.
I would love to be entered in your giveaway! You know I love all things "Fifi"
Hugs,
Penny
p.s. I am having a giveaway too!
What a charming post! Your images are delightful. The dinner looks amazing! Great post!
Mmmmm! Crepes! My very favorite!
Love the notecards...very very nice!
I read this post using my best French accent in your voice, Madame Rue.... (Is it possible to do that?) That virtual food just made my hips spread by 2 inches, by the way. It is lucky for Miss Fifi that she missed it, too- if she is watching her weight... After all, she has other agendas... Perhaps she will allow me to be entered in her give-away? Adieu, mon ami...
Sigh....
Your lovely cards make me ache for Paris!

Your new collection of cards are wonderful. A lot of work went into them. The food is indeed delicious looking.
Oh I am HUNGRY! But then I got sidetracked by your cards. Beautiful.
Hope I win.

This was just divine! Love that Rue could take a little evening off from getting Annie's room together. Just amazing the stamina you possess, Rue! And Fifi - what a tremendously exhausting job you have before you of having to select the appropriate male to star in your romantic comedy. Please know that I am available to assist you in this endeavor, should you feel overwhelmed. Oh, the demands of your fame!!!
Bonjour Mon Ami,
What are all these people talking about food, blah,blah,blah...I am talking Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp! haha! Loved the clip. Stop by and give me a little blog love.
Love,
Henri
PS. You are very good tour guide!

Oh so lovely and romantic! ALl that scrumptious food is making me hungry. One of my favorite desserts is creme brulee'....Christine
Those are gorgeous.
How fun! I just stumbled across your site and I love the entries...great blog and beautiful paintings!
That was Awesome!
Fifi, You have such a talent! I just adore these postcards. Makes me picture myself sitting at one of the charming streetside cafes reading your blog:)
What an amazing trip you all are having!
I might have to jump aboard next time! :)
Fifi, a set of your notecards would make a great centerpiece in a new top-secret room I am designing at my home.
What a fun post:) Had a nice visit and love your art. Count me in the draw!
Blessings,
aimee
Had a nice visit. You are an amazing artist:)

Your paintings and wonderful imagination keep me coming back day after day...
I'm feeling like a winner. ;-)
OMG! Your illustrations are so lovely!!
Fifi,
I'm sorry you missed out with Rue and the others for your divine dinner....but duty calls...having been in similiar situations, I can certainly sympathize with how you must be feeling... all the decisions that come with the selection of a leading man for your new and upcoming movie. Ah...what a life you live Fifi.
Kris
Well that selfish Rue! Didn't she at least pack up some of that lovely food into doggy bags and save for you? (Poodle bags?) She could have at least saved the escargot for moi.
I always smile when I click on your blog, knowing I'm going to be charmed. And I am never disappointed. Your paintings are fantastic!
All the best... Cass
Foie Gras and Creme Brulee... Yum!
Such a cute post ladies :)
Madame Fifi,
J'adore vos cartes postales ! Je leur donnerais une bonne maison. J'aime Paris et ai été là beaucoup de fois. La nourriture regarde si délicieuse. J'aurais mangé l'escargot cependant. Délicieux ! Veuillez pardonner les erreurs de grammaire. Mon Français n'est pas très bon.

I think that your paintings are divine and whimsy Fifi. I love your use of colour. Oh how I would love to live in a world painted by you!
Hmmm - my husband always calls me Fifi - did you use to date him? (LOL) I lived in France for a year and I NEVER had a bad meal (even if I made it myself - because the freah ingredients were so wonderful!)
Thanks for reviving the memories and your art cards are glorious!
