We'll Always Have Paris

We are back in France and this time for five weeks of shopping! Okay, we can’t shop every waking moment while we are here, but we can try! After a day and a half of getting settled and over the jet lag, our first day on the hunt was quite successful.

We found a beautiful walnut Louis-Philippe period music stand with its original bronze candle holder on an extendable arm. A rare piece all in its original form from the year 1850.

And look at this hand forged sign with an oversize iron key that hung outside a lockmaker’s shop.

Lastly, a small painted wooden garden cart with iron rimmed wheels.

Just for fun, we wanted to share with you this incredible shop window. The French can make anything beautiful—even a dead fish basking amongst the fruits and vegetables!
