So, today I happened across this groovy shop around the corner that designs, prints and sells a wide variety of notebooks and calendars and wrapping papers plus a bunch of cute pens, pencils, crayons, clips, desk organizers, games, and trinkets. I just couldn’t resist this entertaining spinner disk that tells what fruits and vegetables are in season by month. Ya, I need it like I need another hole in the head. But hey it’s educational – in French on one side and in English on the other – so if I need to brush up on my terminology at least I can be amused in the process!
And, bonus, they gave me a very cute cotton bag to carry it home in for free! I would have happily paid for it, it’s so darling. At grocery stores and other shops you can buy branded shopping bags – paper ones or sturdy plastic or mixed-fiber reusable ones – this is all connected with France’s ban on single use plastic bags. Love the creative solutions – and love my favorite new bag for when I need to carry just a little of something!
Check it out! Papier Tigre at 5, rue des Filles du Calvaire in the 3rd.
