Paris Apartment...


As we draw nearer to our sale this weekend I find myself revisiting our trip to Paris from the Spring.  I fell in love with the little apartment that we stayed in but would have done things a little differently..  something like this beauty would have been perfection.  Can you imagine?

This week I will be posting alot about our trip and some of the wonderful pieces that we have to offer.  I do hope you will be able to join us on Friday and Saturday to see what we brought back!

Astier de Villatte, Paris

My deep love for Astier de Villatte is no secret as I have professed it many times..  whenever I am in Paris I visit the store on Rue St. Honore.  It is so dreamy and so simple at the same time.  The stacks and stacks of dishes call my name.  I buy a couple of pieces each time I travel there and it can be really hard to select just the right things.  Sometimes I have been known to visit more than once in a trip.  They had some great new pieces, new collaborations with various artists and many of the classics that I have come to adore.

It is simply amazing and one of the highlights of my trip everytime! 

 Enjoy...

Garden antiques shop in Paris...

While shopping the flea markets in Paris on our trip we happened upon this sweet garden shop in the area.  I am not sure if it was part of the flea markets or not but it stole my attention in less than a second.  The creative displays made my heart skip a beat.  I snapped a picture of the flower box hedge before I had a chance to see how many inspiring spaces they had created.  
Each was a simple collection of vintage pieces but they were done so well, maybe it was the repetition or the negative space around them I am not sure even now, but I know it was they type of display that sticks in your memory.  I left feeling extremely inspired.  I loved everything about it!

greige in Paris


I took just a minute to peek at my photos from Paris this weekend in between getting ready for some presentations I have today and I really need to share some of the fun with you!  This is a little peek at the semi private tour we took when we visited Versailles this time.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that our container will actually be leaving France this week too!

Wishing you a wonderful start to the short Holiday week!

Lunch at Merci's Used Book Cafe

This is the first trip that I have gotten to visit the Used book cafe at Merci.  Each time we have been running late and closing down the store..  This time I was able to visit Merci, lets just say often (read 5 or 6 times), because it was just around the corner from our apartment.  If I lived there all the time I would be poor.. I love their stuff and my apartment would be amazing!!  We had a chance to have a late lunch there one afternoon and it was perfect!  We sat in my dream spot by the window over looking the door so I could see the people coming and going.  The waiter was sweet and the food was wonderful.  I loved it and vowed to stop again during out trip but never made it back to eat there. 

That day the little mini was getting a make over and so was the shop, which was super fun to watch unfold over the few times that we visited.






This was by far one of the best things I have ever eaten.  Amazing and perfect.

Don't miss our upcoming sale @greigeshopsale on instagram!
