Follow Up: 5 Dollar French Market

Lovely extras from Jenny & Lauren

Vintage chic hand towels

My cool new pen and pencil holder

Gorgeous $5 teapot

Seam binding and a tussie mussie

Paris book with blank pages

Every now and then a shop impresses me so much that I just have to mention it again or follow up on my order.

I placed an order last week (and again last night) at Etsy's 5 Dollar French Market, a shop I featured in an edition of Etsy Love. Everything in the store sells for $5 and reflects a Paris apartment meets vintage flair.

My order arrived today and I have to tell you that it was like unwrapping a series of presents.

The lovely owners, Jenny and Lauren, included a nice handwritten note and a couple of extras with my order--a bar of soap and some beautiful tags.

I am so very impressed by each and every item I ordered, from the gorgeous vintage teapot to the Paris ribbon. The quality of each item is outstanding and I can recommend this great shop without any reservations. 

The items I ordered are going to go in our bedroom, as I am repainting it and giving it a chic Parisian theme. I will surely post pictures when I finish (one wall has primer on it right now).

Be sure to head to 5 Dollar French Market today! I've posted pictures of the items I recieved today so you can take a look!

Those hand towels are so striking!

Are they thick?

Do you plan to actually use them or just display them in the bathroom?

They are not thick. They're going to be "for decorative purposes only", LOL.

I know those type of hand towels. You cringe if someone were to actually (gasp) use one! :)

Sorry to hear today is such a sad anniversary for you and the family!

Deanna,

Thank you. It's supposed to get easier, but the 4 year anniversary hurts as badly as the 1st. Maybe someday it'll be different.

Thanks again.

I love the packaging of the soap. It serves as a great reminder to small business owners that make a product that packaging is extremely important in marketing your product.

Jennifer,

Isn't it pretty? I am going to leave it in the package with the towels and just use it for a decoration :)

Everything is just so pretty in this shop.
