This is the most delightful book, with 350 gold edged pages containing the city's most special spots <3 It's like your most interesting friends taking you to all the best places :) This is a must have guide and also makes a wonderful gift. How special would it be to give a signed copy as a gift for a birthday or Christmas? We hope we will see you next Saturday, June 1 from 5:30 to 8! And if you can't make it, they are available for preorder on our website - here. And if you would like to see another review, here is one from Vogue.

Our beautiful friend Nikki, wearing our red and white gingham peter pan shirt and a a little handkerchief (both these pieces are arriving this week!)... and holding a stunning peony flower by The Green Vase. We were using up a roll of black and white film to get to color... as we wanted to show the red and white along with the Astier de Villatte Ma Vie A Paris guides with their beautiful bright covers <3 As I was going through the film, I just thought to share this one photo as I thought it captured her well. We are so lucky to have the sweetest friends who model with us when they have the moments to. Nikki is an incredible knitter, she has an interest in all treasures Japanese... and she has the best style- mixing the most incredible vintage pieces with those by new designers. She brings so much to our lives <3 Thank you Nikki!

A cabinet full of Astier de Villatte pieces... including a tray of Antoinette incense holders. We find something intriguing about these en masse :) Each piece of Astier has its own special qualities. There are also the pieces from the John Derian + Astier de Villatte collaboration- in this photo- the floral plates and the horse plate hiding behind stacks of dishes on the bottom. We love the floral plates and think they would be beautiful on a wall or used as dishes. Mix them with all white table linens... or a gingham pattern and they would be so lovely!

Sharing just a few of our favorite pieces by Astier de Villatte. A small teapot, a vase, a small pitcher, a small bowl, a tiny (tiny) pitcher, two goblets, salad and soup pedestal bowls. We love the monochromatic, white dishes with different textiles. You can't go wrong with mixing Astier pieces with other pieces, textiles, glassware, etc. It makes a stunning table any way you put it together!

It is with great excitement that we will be welcoming Astier de Villatte founders and creators Ivan Pericoli and Benoît Astier de Villate from Paris to our shop for a book signing of the new English edition to their book Ma Vie A Paris. This is THE most delightful guide to Paris- in keeping with the fantastic wit and style of these two originals and the incredible world they have created around their exceptional works. Known for their earthenware and porcelain ceramics, Benoît and Ivan are always expanding their sphere with true artists' eyes and hands. Their Paris guide is no exception... Ma Vie A Paris is as inspiring to read and get lost in as it is to use in leading you to all the best places of this special city.
Our book signing is Saturday, June 1- 5:30 to 8 pm. For those who can't make it, but would like a signed copy, we have made them available for preorder in our online shop <3 We'll ship them out right after the event <3 You can see more here.
