Mélodies Graphiques

 I’ve been trying to get to melodies graphiques all week. I finally made it yesterday. 

It’s on 10, rue du Pont Louis-Phillippe, 75004

All because of a robin I’d seen on their Instagram…the only existing robin in Paris

Some fixations do not go away easily…

Have you been to Mélodies Graphiques? I wrote about them 4 years ago. Yes, they have bears🐻 

And all manner 

Of treasures

They actually have 2 shops side by side

The one on the left is mainly a papeterie 

With all manner of pens,

Inks & ink wells

Notebooks, sketchbooks, special papers

A calligrapher’s paradise 

You could so easily go nutz here. People do right & left. 

I know. I used to be one of those nutz 🌰 I took a pointed pen calligraphy class with Eleanor Winters at Melodie Graphics. 

I had the bright idea I could address all your Paris Letters with Copperplate handwriting ✍️ La la la la la

Back to my insane robin search in the other shop

Which contains mainly whimsical frippery. That gold Victorian hand thing is 90€ I think. 

I looked up ‘frippery’ noun showy or unnecessary ornament in architecture, dress, or language.

I asked about the robin & she said, “follow me.” It was in the window. 180€ for the robin !! Handmade no doubt.

I had completely missed it. There are three birds 🐦 🐦 🐦 in the window! Unnecessary is the key word here ☺️

Anyhoo I think I’m fine with my new bear 🐻
