L'Ecritoire

L'Ecritoire 75004 Paris,original art, 5" x 7"
About 2 years ago I passed this papeterie, L'Ecritoire in the Marais on 61 rue St. Martin, but of course it was closed. This trip I made sure to let them know I was coming. They even remembered my photo in PB from 2 years ago. They like many Paris boulangeries and restos, have a menu out in the street.
Inside this tiny shoebox shop it's chocked full of treasures if you still love to write snail mail.
So many cards to choose from, mostly from small unique producers
La plume de ma tante is here too.
And many colors of l'encre to dip that pen into...
An Eiffel Tower clock to tick away while you write long letters...
These cahiers (notebooks) were used by French children to write down their thoughts, stories and memoires in blue ink. Then their instructor (so Parisien Anne tells me) came along and wrote in red ink in the margin: bien, tres bien, pas si bien...
L'Eritoire creates their own unique writing materials like these unusual shaped envelopes. There is of course writing paper that fits inside these envelopes...
And sealing wax aplenty to add your own coat of arms to your envelope.So many goodies in red - pens, inks, envelopes and letters at L'Ecritoire...
And a few meters away on the other side of the street at 24, Rue St Martin is Les Délices de Saint Martin...

BON LUNDI!
