With August well underway, it's safe to say we're all trying to get in as many trips to the beach as we can fit. Summer always seems to go so much faster than any of the other seasons. Inspired by the beautiful natural treasures that wash ashore, this weekend's inspiration is just that. The plethora of shells and sea life we have collected at the store is a constant reminder to get out and experience the real deal and gather our own collection of natural sea curiosities, especially before the summer is over. Next time you'll see us, we'll be at the shoreline with the low tide, collecting what the sea no longer wants. See you at the beach!

A one last hurrah for the long warm nights that are soon to be behind us. Filled with the bounty of a late summer harvest and the final fruits of our season, our windows are a snapshot of what brings us together and what is important in life. A glimpse into a late summer gathering with your closest friends and family sharing experiences in the wake of this warm season.

The Artist's Entry
Posted on 09:00 by Unknown
With back to school right around the corner we've been hard at work preparing our displays for the busy season! Keeping an artist's studio in mind, we've lined our entry table with a creative, colorful vignette that is filled with John Derian plates, colorful pillows, natural manzanita branches and the lovely aromas of Archivist candles. Featuring the wonderful paintings of Simoni Trapsioni, this tabletop display is such an inspiring little nook in the store that undoubtedly greets each customer with a burst of creativity. Get ready for the fall season, it's bound to be filled with numerous exciting and creative projects!

Vintage Rice Bowls
Posted on 09:00 by Unknown
As the story goes, in 1848, a Chinese shipping vessel sunk off the coast of Saigon, vietnam. In 2008, the ship was discovered and the items were salvaged. Among the contents found were 22,800 clay and enamel rice bowls. Each rice bowl is unique and shows the patina of being underwater for 160 years. With a legend like this, who wouldn't be in love with these bowls? Although we wish they were safe to eat out of, we're still overjoyed to possess these little relics. We've all been getting creative with what to do with these bowls and have found they make for such great displays! The natural patina and soothing earth tones create a wonderful, calming atmosphere. Perfect for stashing little odds and ends, these bowls look as good on their own as they do filled with all of your favorite treasures. Stop by soon and pick up your very own artifact before they're all gone!
Available at The Paris Market.

Weekend Inspiration: Coffee
Posted on 09:00 by Unknown
We know we're not the only ones who feel similarly when we say we love the art of brewing coffee. The only thing we may love more is the act of drinking of it. Whether we're pouring a double shot of frothy espresso or brewing a fresh pot of standard drip coffee, our fondness of this beverage is immense. Fortunate to have our very own coffee bar within the walls of our store, it's safe to say the majority of the Paris Market team keeps their energy and spirit up with a cup of delicious coffee. Of course, we can't deny our love of tea and hot chocolate as well, however this weekend we're most excited to sleep in and enjoy waking up and brewing the first cup of the day. Have a great weekend!

A Corner for Comfort
Posted on 09:00 by Unknown
One of our favorite corners in the store is this cozy little bedroom nook. Filled with the warm glow of Edison bulbs and the comforting arrangement of eclectic objects, the urge to lay down and take a nap has never seemed like a better idea. The corner is filled with great finds, including matching mounted stags, a handcrafted chess set, vintage luggage, oil portraits, and soft bed comforters just to name a few. With everything unified in soothing, muted earth tones, it's a wonder we don't find more customers stretching out on these beautiful twin beds! Despite being a full corner, this display is surprisingly minimal, keeping your mind and room at ease while you slumber.
