Thank you, Merci, for having the installation of my dreams up when I came to visit.
I mean, look at this!!!
This fork is wearing a sweater!
Oh my GOD. Seriously, it was so beautiful.
And these spoons - pastel, dip-dyed heaven.
They also had three floors of just really nice, well selected stuff. Stationery, clothing, furniture, linens, etc. The home wares were amaaazing.
On my second last morning in Paris, I enjoyed dippy eggs in their Used Book Cafe (at this time, the dream installation had been traded in for something new - still cool, but not as good).
Gill and I also had a late lunch at Merci's Cinema Cafe on our first visit. The charcuterie plate was simple and delicious.
This shop was certainly one of the highlights of my trip - thanks to all who recommended I pay it a visit.
WOW! This place is absolutely stunning!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThis looks really beautiful - would you happen to remember the name of the artist behind this?
ReplyDeletedanica and anna - unfortunately I forgot to write down the artists' names (I think it was a group). I will try to find out - I was too overwhelmed with the store to think about it.
