Tasha, who is affectionately nicknamed Granny Tash because of the long list of things she has in common with grandmothers everywhere, including a total love affair with vintage curiosities, is a retro-curating veteran. She’s been collecting and selling vintage treasures through various outlets for years, long before it was considered chic or “on trend”. And has recently opened her own smartly curated vintage home shop, Granny Tash. I was so excited when I heard what Tasha was up to because I absolutely LOVE her style. I’d say it’s 2 parts mid-century to 1 part classic modern with a dash of quirk in there somewhere. Exhibit A: Her Instagram Account. She’s got a discerning eye for spotting those diamond-in-the-rough, statement pieces that possess the effortless ability to add soul and a “collected over time” sensibility to your space. My favorite pieces in her shop are the Vintage Embroidered Pillow Covers. Colorful. Handmade. Heaven. (There’s only one set available, so make sure to snag them!) And now for the fun part!

I’ve officially added them to my travel file and can’t wait to check them out next time we find ourselves in the City of Light!   Housed in a 19th century fabric factory, Merci is a 3-story design general store, if you will, showcasing products from all facets: apparel, furniture, home goods, and jewelry. Throw in a literary cafe and restaurant and you’ve got yourself a full afternoon in design heaven. The coolest part? They donate all their profits to charity! Merci, 111 Boulevard Beaumarchais.

Must go and smell the Rose 31. Le Labo, 7 Rue Froissart Photo via Vosgesparis.   La Droguerie. A Parisian craft supplies mecca for the crafting inclined. Need I say more? La Droguerie, 9 Rue du Jour Photo via Mokkasin.   Handmade in an antique Bastille workshop originally home to Napoleon’s silversmith, Astier de Villatte’s milky-white glazed black terracotta pottery celebrates classic forms inspired by 18th and 19th century […]
