L'Automne...

noreply@blogger.com (Paris Envy) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 23:12:00 +0000

Fall at Paris Envy is muted color (bronze, black, graphite gray and silver)

and texture (burlap, stone, embroidered fabric)

It's new soaps from Provence, and tableware from Belgium;
Handmade jewelry in sterling, and vintage gold.

And as always, a tempting selection of one-of-a-kind vintage and entirely hand-crafted pieces for your home, your pied a terre, or your perfectly feathered nest.

A Few of Our Favorite Things

noreply@blogger.com (Paris Envy) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 19:32:00 +0000

We love the thrill of the hunt, the excitement of creativity, and the opportunity to find just the right spot in our shop for new treasures. Here are some of our current favorites!

*These gorgeous lighted sconces are crafted from old cabinet doors and given our signature detail of hand-poured plaster appliques.

*The entry way mirror re-interpreted in soft blue/green with aged mirror and plenty of pegs for backpacks and jackets.

*This magnetic message board is covered in a French script fabric and you'll find it exclusively at Paris Envy. Add a dose of style instantly to your home office or kitchen!

*Created from a vintage twin headboard, this charming daybed would be perfect in so many settings: a sun-porch, a nursery, even as a cozy place to curl up in a master bedroom.

Tokyo by way of Paris

noreply@blogger.com (Paris Envy) — Sat, 30 May 2009 00:31:00 +0000

We love Tokyo Milk, the newest offering in beauty products from the creators of Lollia.
With wildly imaginative fragrances and heavenly flavored lip balms, this is THE gift to give yourself or a very deserving friend!

The petite perfumes feature whimsical images and scents like Cherry Bomb (chocolate-cherry), Kabuki ( lychee and sugared fruit), and Dead Sexy (mossy, rich and perfect for both women and men).

Then there are the lip balms in Honey Blossom, Let them eat Cake, Opera Mint and more. Delicious, and calorie-free!

Bath and body goodies, dishes and bowls in sweet spring colors, note cards, journals and lots of new John Wind initial jewelry.

Paris Envy is Green with Pride!!

noreply@blogger.com (Paris Envy) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:46:00 +0000

Every little shop that opens its doors must find a way to distinguish itself from the others, and to fill a niche. At Paris Envy our pleasure is to offer beautifully hand-crafted furnishings, home accessories and exceptional vintage pieces we've discovered and added our special touches to. Along with providing our clientele a truly unique selection, we are able to contribute to keeping our world "green."
How exciting to know that with every cast-off table, chair, and mirror we rescue we are recycling, breathing new life into, and preventing waste. And each of our hand-crafted pieces are created right here in Phoenix, many constructed of re-claimed lumber, zinc and other collected materials.
Beauty and function with a conscience. It's an important part of what makes us who we are.

When it seems every bit of news is gloomy, do what the French women do -- Pamper, pamper, pamper!! Light a sweet smelling candle and soak yourself in a tub full of heavenly scented bubbles as Edith Piaf sings your troubles away. Then dust on a little perfumed powder, wrap up in a satin robe and tuck your toes into plush, embroidered slippers. Plunging stocks, talk of recession, no matter! We smell good and feel good and there's always that silver lining to look for...

But since most of us won't be jetting over that way any time soon, we'll be loving Phoenix in the fall. That is, when the temps stay under 100 degrees for say, a solid week!! In the spirit of our hoped-for fall season, treat yourself to bargains here at Paris Envy.

New in Apparel: Organic cotton or silk tops from Trinity. Beautiful colors and quality at amazing prices!
And the ever important accessory -- a gorgeous handmade pendant from local artisan Shelly Brooks. Ms. Brooks uses fresh water and Swarovsky pearls and fashions a variety of images into lead-free silver "portraits." Hurry to find your favorite, these are one of a kind!

Hand Crafted Beauty

noreply@blogger.com (Paris Envy) — Fri, 16 May 2008 22:46:00 +0000

Many of the pieces you find throughout the shop are designed and built by local artisan Jason Moore, exclusively for Paris Envy. Jason combines old world materials such as marble, iron and reclaimed lumber to fashion one of a kind works of art in a distinctively French style. Pictured are his wrought iron pet bed, zinc topped bathroom vanity, and stone & iron garden bench.

noreply@blogger.com (Paris Envy) — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 21:28:00 +0000

Paris Bistro
Just in at Paris Envy, our Paris Bistro collection. Pieces that will transport you to the tiny cafes of the city; vintage-style serving trays, menu boards, aged brass coat hooks. Also mixed throughout, wonderful found pieces -- tables, hutches, folding chairs. Come and see our rustic side!

And arriving soon: Provence-style glassware, table accessories and market bags

New Treats for Spring...

noreply@blogger.com (Paris Envy) — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 21:37:00 +0000

I'm often asked if all the products in our shop come from Paris and the answer, unfortunately, is no. Our sign says, "vintage and French-inspired," because I love Paris style and I love the shops of Paris, but part of the appeal of the city is the variety in what is offered. You can find things with an Asian flair, a modern edge, or a funky, bohemian vibe right alongside the Paris we all know and love from films and magazines -- the scroll-edged mirrors, the curvy legged chairs. So while a space filled with only Parisian treasures would be lovely, it would also be prohibitively expensive and would limit what I could offer you!

So come and visit us to view our new collection of tableware from Magenta, our spring jammies from PJ Salvage, and our Parasuco jeans -- from, yes, Italy!! And you have to check out our purses and bags from Nahui Ollin. Made entirely from unused candy wrappers and then hand sewn for durability, they are really cute as well as environmentally friendly.
