La Maison du Roy, Passage Jouffroy 🎄

 
Christmas on ETSY
Time for more 

Jolly Christmas decorations 

Bits 
N’ bobs.
A good place 
To start Is 
Not just tree decorations
Something for calligraphers too 
So many bright, 
By the way, they were playing the perfect background music 🎵 to entice you to buy - Gluck - Orfeo ed Euridice, Wq. 30, Act 1: "Chiamo il mio ben così ... Piangi.
And they had croissants 🥐 !
This fab shop is inside Passage Jouffroy in the 9th arrondissement (Metro Grands Boulevards ).
And a very good place to start exploring.
On ETSY
They are next to old-fashioned tea salon,
Perfect for a yummy snack
 To restore yourself after hunting Christmas 🎄 décorations 
Or perhaps a fortifying vin chaud/spiced wine 🍷 
Across the hall, irresistible toy shop, PAIN D’ÉPICÉ .
I am always looking for the petite ourson/little articulated bear 🐻 I bought here eons ago. Why did I leave him behind in New York 😭 ? I brought the checked table with me (which I never use…and left dear Bear 🐻).
These bears have none of his elegance (plus they are 39€!) where he was a mere 3 bucks. The nonsense one remembers 🙄
If you have seen this petite ourson 🐻 Please 🙏 let me know. Desperately seeking…
Another place that did not have my bear 🐻 
You can even stay in this Passage at HOTEL CHOPIN 🎵
Wouldn’t that be a trip!

    Oh Carol! Merci for the introduction to Maison du Roy! Fabulous, full of temptation. Have you looked at ‘Si Tu Veux’ at Galerie Vivienne for your lost bear? They also have lots of miniatures. Love your Holiday Letters, so festive, so gift-able! ❤️

    This was such a delightful newsletter Carol. It really put me in the Christmas spirit as no one decorates for the holidays like Paris. Just beautiful. The gold tree toppers are gorgeous. I love your latest Christmas letter with the snowmen, birds and reindeer. Hope it becomes available as a single letter on Etsy. Sorry you missed out on getting that sweet little bear in NY. He does indeed have a special charm. -Suzanne P.

    You need to buy a Steiff. Expensive ça but the best.

    I love your glorious photos of Christmas delights! I miss the holiday buzz of Paris! Your little bear is truly the sweetest I’ve ever seen. He is still with you in your memories and your heart.
