Bonjour Paris! Together with Shop At The Museum we have created 3 brilliant set of pencils for their Paris pop up at Le Bon Marché.
The pencils are all in French including our favourite things about France - pâtisserie, joie de vivre and the Paris Métro.
1. Joie De Vivre Pencil Set
The joie de vivre pencil set have many of the french daily life we love. This includes:
Bruncher
Bouquiner
Paresser
Danser
Chiner
Embrasser
2. Pâtisserie Pencil Set
The pâtisserie pencil set have all our favourite French pastries. This includes:
Tarte aux fraises
Paris-Brest
Mont-Blanc
Madeleine
Macaron
Eclair
In the process of designing these pencils and shooting the below photo, we gobbled many macarons from our all time favourite Pierre Hermé. They always have the most innovative and cool flavours of macarons - jasmine tea, mandarin and olive oil, chocolate and earl grey tea are divine.
3. Paris Métro Pencil Set
Our favourite Métro stations in Paris. The thing about Paris Métro stations, every Métro station has a different decor or different theme. We love cruising along the Métro lines, as some stations are just like visiting a museum, a piece of art in its own right.
Like our London Underground Pencil Set, the Paris Métro pencils the colour of the lines and their interchange foiled onto HB pencils.
Odeon
Saint-germain des Près
Opera
Bastille
Invalides
Louvre-Rivoli
These are all Limited Edition designs, and could only be purchased directly from Shop At The Museum at Le Bon Marche between now and Christmas. A great souvenir and gift from Paris!
As the famous saying goes from the movie Sabrina by Audrey Hepburn - Paris is always a good idea!
Yippee! Hooray! Hurrah! Hip Hip! Yay! The English Crisps pencils have been featured in the March issue of Smallish Magazine in the editorial page. Thank you to Smallish Magazine, a really cool magazine for modern mothers - filled with lots of on point topics and opinions, in addition to a fab curation of cool finds. Good read! 🤓☕️📖
This week is National Stationery Week, and World Stationery Day is on the 29th April 2015. So mark your calendars.
The tag line for this year's National Stationery Week is to #getBritainwriting. Sharpen your pencils and get writing - don't forget to add fun in your stationery collection too.
For our own stationery collection, we like a mix and match of Vintage found stationery and modern ones too. YOUSE, a stationery store which we found online has a good quirky and fun mix of found vintage stationery.
