Rocq Macarons {a giveaway}

 

I am super excited to share a sweet little bit of Parisian life right here in the states with you!  

The amazing chef Eddie Rocq has brought us hand made Macarons beautifully packaged, that can be delivered directly to your door, making them the perfect gift.  

Each of these little cookies is handmade to order and we can get them right here!  I was so excited to discover that I now can have one of my favorite things here at home.  Each box offers a variety of flavors and you can even select your own.  I am completely loving the chocolate and the pumpkin, the hubby and my little one are partial to the Vanilla, what can you do....   They will even be offering heart shaped macarons in specialty flavors for Valentine's and Mother's Day too, how perfect is that?!

A great little note on the history of the Macaron..

The Macaron cookie was born in Italy, introduced by the chef of Catherine de Medicis in 1533 at the time of her marriage to the Duc d’Orleans who became king of France in 1547 as Henry II. The first Macarons were simple cookies, made of almond powder, sugar and egg whites. It wasn’t’ until the 20^th century when French pastry chefs decided to join two macaron shells together and fill them up with buttercream, jams and ganache, which is the version we recognize and love today.

Rocq Macaron's was sweet enough to offer a box of their Holiday Collection {This is our selections of 24 Amazing flavors in the "Parisian" Box set} to one of our readers!!!!

In addition to Macarons, Chef Eddie Rocq offers fantastic catering services which we love.

I am excited to announce our newest sponsor Plain and Elegant Antiques.   Please take a minute to visit their site and Etsy shop and see all of their amazing vintage finds.I am loving the vintage urns and ribbons.  I could have some serious fun designing with those!

A little bit about the girls a Plain and Elegant...

What do two girls do in the pursuit of unusual antique finds?  They shop...

So, we shopped and filled the house, barn, and garden: antique garden furniture,
lovely dress forms, textiles, and anything rare and intriguing.  Our houses and
gardens are full, and now, we offer our items through a few antique and garden
shows, our website, and in our etsy shop.  Enjoy browsing through the many
unique and beautiful things we have gathered.


Sounds like my kind of girls...

Stay tuned for a wonderful give away from Plain and Elegant Antiques starting tomorrow here on greige.
