We happened to see this quaint, beautiful and unique store today after lunch…read more It is such a gem. Writing seems to be a dying art but this store keeps it alive by selling unique calligraphy pens, notepads and albums. It also has leather goods from day planners, calendars, purses to wallets to duffels. But look at my beautiful find! It's a calligraphy pen from La Kaligrafica! Wow! Murano glass too in a beautiful hue of blue. It is very beautiful. I am ecstatic. See the pics on how it reflects off light! I will use it as soon as I get myself back home to California. The lady that helped us (I wonder if she is the owner because she looks absolutely fab!) was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed browsing around the shop. She wrapped my new bundle of joy so carefully. It was artwork just to watch her! There are so many great finds here. It seems like the owner curated everything and it is very eclectic and unique. The items range from simple to one-of-a-kind. Come visit this little corner of Paris to get that one of a kind gift to yourself or your loved-one.

I had made the decision to start journaling again and was delighted with the gorgeous hand bound notebooks and leather bound journals - truly awoken my love for the lost art of calligraphy. They sell hardback bound notebooks, leather bound ones, more paper with matching envelopes and cards, quills and nibs, inks, fountain pens and binding paper if want to take notebook binding into your own hands. Great shop for gifts and those who are into calligraphy. I bought the leather bound notebook. The idea of writing on the gorgeous artisan paper in Biro seemed a sin so I bought myself a set of pens and ink. Can't wait to start writing!! This shop and the owner really made my trip - thank you!

After five hours in the Louvre we wandered out, bleary eyed, feet and backs hurting, and wandered…read moreinto a little shopping area. If I'm completely honest, I was a little annoyed the way I am when amusement parks have ride exits through the gift shop. It was actually alright since we still wanted to find some gifts to bring home to friends and family. After finding some goodies at Maxime's I meandered by Delfonics window. The weirdest thing happened as I pivoted on my heel and fell right inside the store. Must have been a weird gravitational well and that gravitational well is "Andie is a sucker for stationery shops". They had SO many goodies - great journals, stationery supplies, cool Japanese pens, and notepads. Basically it was a dream within a dream. My daughter is also afflicted with stationery store fever. Let's just safely say that we both found memorable items to take home and use daily which reminds of us the magical place that is Delfonics.

Lots of fun folders for organizing all your papers. A line of colorful photo albums, washi tape, organizers, and Segrid wallets, which we discovered elsewhere and are forevermore devoted to as the world's best wallet. It's petite, but packed with beautiful stuff.

Gibert Joseph is a chain of stores that cater to those seeking books, souvenirs, and agendas. I mean, yes, they have other things, but these are the mains. We stepped in there because it was on the way. My companion was lacking souvenirs, and well, he thought I might find a worthwhile agenda in there. Turns out they had pretty bland-looking agendas and I wound up getting one back in the states. Still, their book selection floored me. They had floors upon floors on books and they had unique souvenirs. I only wish I had discovered this store sooner. I'd probably have bought some stuff there!
