Yesterday Anne in Paris mentioned the word "macaron" in an email and I had an Easter raid in my refrigerator - so no painting to today. But I did want to tell you about a new "concept" store, Merci anyways..
Di first posted about Merci...
Naturally I waited until the last day to drop in. Isn't that always the way? You enter the boutique into a rather smallish cafe-library...
Which leads into...
A huge beautiful airy space! Two floors at that.
Just opened in March and a must-see, Merci was founded by Bernand and Marie-France Cohen (former owners of the luxury children’s clothing brand Bonpoint) 
Everything is for sale, including this papier-mache elephant guarding the entrance to the courtyard...
Where the famous bundled up car resides...
Everything is designed and thought out visually. I don't think these are for sale. but they are beautifully displayed. No?
There is a gallery of art and a floral shop and used books and vintage and designer clothing with all profits going to a children's orphange in Madacascar.
Annick Goutal has a purfum laboratoire here...
Clothing specially designed from YSL, Stella McCartney, Vanessa Bruno, Burberry, Isabelle Marant, Azzaro etc 30-40% less than in the brand name boutiques. Even Chanel quilted bags.
Everything for the home...
Isn't this gorgeous?
Every inch is filled with treasures. Even the outer walls...
I loved this stack of bistro chairs - what I was going to paint today...
Wonderful tables...
The Merci bags are recyled...
AND dogs are allowed!
Merci MERCI!
And a French lecon thrown in...BONJOUR LUNDI!!!
