paris : randomness

Last Paris post, I promise!
There's so much to see...

paris : tombées du camion

A little treasure in Paris: Tombées du Camion. This very, very small shop carries all kind of curiosa, second hand stuff, wooden letters, buttons, bottles and so on. Of course I couldn't leave without buying something and although it took forever to choose something I finally picked some small things.

paris : shopping

Some random purchases: cookies, a polka dot button, flowery ribbon and a kawaii card.

The things on the last picture are from Muji. This Japanese store reminded me a little bit of our Dutch Hema, but less colourful and a bit more design. I really liked to browse through their products. Even boring things like paperclips and pens were suddenly interesting, because of their nice packaging!

paris : window shopping

What I love about Paris are the colourful, little shop windows:

See all pictures on my flickr.

paris : junku

Although I can't read them I'm a big fan of Japanese craft books and an even bigger fan of Paumes books. So of course I needed to visit Junku, a Japanese bookstore. Their selection of craft books was huge, I just didn't know where to look!

And hooray, they also had all my beloved Paumes books :)

I allowed myself to pick one title which was really hard. After a lot of thinking and browsing I picked Souvenirs de Paris, full of lovely Parisian shops.

Yes I know, there are two books on this picture! The other Paumes book I bought in a cute little store called Lilli Bulle. This shop was packed with mostly kids stuff, but there were also books, stationary and all kinds of little things. Oh, I want a shop like that in Amsterdam!

paris : food

If you can't eat much, just make some pictures!

paris : bread, lots of bread

Take a guess: who got really bad stomach pains in Paris and needed to call a docter late at night?! In the end everything turned out right, but during my stay all I could eat was bread! Luckily Paris is full of bakeries and bread is my favourite food :)
