Eiffel Trifle

If you’re an Eiffel Tower freak like I am, you probably love all things Paris as well. So how about a year’s worth of pictures and inspiration? Here are some cool calendars I’ve found that fit the bill:

I love the colors and designs on this Paris Eiffel Tower 2012 Wall Calendar. It’s bright and has kind of that 50s graphic look to it. Very often you see black and white photos of Paris from that time frame (which are lovely too, of course) but I also like the vibrant colors in this calendar.

If you dig that, they also have a similar looking Engagement Calendar. It’s hardcover, and has gold foil accents. The closure is one of those elastic things that will keep your pages neatly together. The calendar has a weekly design (meaning no overall month at a glance – which is a shame because I really like to see the whole month at once.)

This 2012 Eiffel Tower Two Year Planner comes in pretty handy. It has the month by month view that I really like, a nice Eiffel Tower photo on the outside, and goes out long enough that you can save up and plan your next trip to Paris.

I really like this Eiffel Tower Illuminated at Twilight Purse Notes book. So handy to keep with you all the time. It’s 3×4, has a magnetic closure (so the pages won’t get all wonky in your purse), and carries 75 pages for your random thoughts and plans.

This Paris Glitz 2012 Wall Calendar takes another artsy view of Paris, which designs that are ramped up to make different elements stand out.

If you like the drama that black and white art brings, this 2012 Paris Wall Calendar might be for you. So beautiful with that view from the fountains.

Finally, if you’re planning a trip to Paris at all, you’ve got to check out this A Walk in Paris 2012 Wall Calendar. It gives you a walking tour of the entire city. You also get a CityWalks Matchbook Map Guide that highlights the 7th Arrondissement right in the calendar.

I got this Eiffel Tower Lamp at Hobby Lobby the other day, and I had to share. Because isn’t it fabulous?

I’ve seen Eiffel Tower lamps with the tower as the base and then a shade on top, but I hadn’t yet seen one like this. I love how the light comes through the glass and lights the whole thing up, don’t you?

Aren’t these Eiffel Tower bookends awesome? I got these a while back, and I can’t remember where. You can probably find them in some of the home stores out there.

I know Amazon has a similar set with this Midwest CBK Eiffel Tower Bookend Pair. In fact, it might even be the same set, hard to tell from the picture:

Of course, when it came to putting books between those bookends, I chose a few of my favorites from Diane Johnson: Le Divorce, Le Mariage, and L’Affaire. I love the original covers of these books:

But I noticed that when the movie came out (you did see the movie, right? It’s so good!) that they changed the cover to reflect that of the film:

I have to say, I’m not usually a fan of that. I like them to keep the original covers. (I’m a purest that way.)

I’ve been seeing quite a few fabulous Eiffel Tower cookies around the web and wanted to share some of them with you.

I love these from Cookies by Vicky, especially with toile fabric behind them.

These from Best Wedding Sites are so pretty, aren’t they? The site mentions that they could be used as a bridal shower, and I couldn’t agree more. I like what they did in using a larger cookie cutter and then putting the detail on with icing.

The Well Dressed Cookie has a lot of great treats, it’s these poodle and Eiffel Tower cookies that really look good to me.

But I think these by Baked Pretty might be my favorites of all.

I know these are for kids, but I’d like to keep a few around for me! What do you think? Are these Pink Eiffel Tower Cups (8) Party Supplies adorable or what?

Let this Day in Paris Eiffel Tower Woven Tapestry Throw Blanket keep you warm!

This Old River Road Eiffel Tower Shape Cookie Cutter, Copper
is so cute. I can definitely see cooking up a batch of these. Can’t you?

How adorable is this book? E is for Eiffel Tower: A France Alphabet (Discover the World). The description says:

From its achievements in architecture (Chartres Cathedral), science (Louis Pasteur), and literature (Marcel Proust), the country of France has had a profound impact on the world. E is for Eiffel Tower: A France Alphabet explores its venerable history and cultural heritage.

Young readers can experience the treasures of the Louvre Museum, play hide-and-seek in the gardens of Versailles Palace, or get a bird’s-eye view of Paris from the Eiffel Tower. The achievements of Claude Monet and Victor Hugo come to life alongside stunning monuments, breathtaking scenery, and history-in-the-making moments.

I can see lots of possibilities with this handy dandy tool. Eiffel Tower chocolate anyone? Just use this EIFFEL TOWER Miscellaneous Candy Mold Chocolate.
