I know I've been pretty terrible about filling you all in on my recent trip to Paris. The whole experience was eye candy overload, and it's definitely taking me sometime to process it. However, I absolutely cannot wait to share my favorite shop with you any longer.Astier de Villatte was hands-down, the MOST amazing, made-for-me store I've ever walked into. Think wispy, white ceramics so delicate and beautiful they're almost poetic, handmade notebooks, lush perfumes, scented candles and myriad other "fait main" treasures
I imagine if you read this blog we must have a few things in common, so the next time you are in Paris, you must, MUST, stop in this store. Trust me, friends, this is infinitely more enjoyable than dragging yourself up the steps at Notre Dame or fighting gum-chewing tour groups for a glimpse of the Mona Lisa.
I walked out with a few beautiful ceramic cups and bowls imprinted with pretty things like a greek-inspired crest, a pencil thin sunflower and a bohemian hobnail pattern -- and my favorite purchase -- the loveliest little ceramic bird who sits here at my desk with me.
