A Change in the Air...


A new month. A new season. Finally some tangible evidence that decent weather exists here in our valley! I've always thought of November as some think of January 1st -- a time to take stock of present circumstances and plan for the future. Hot, stagnant summer is behind us, and cooler air clears the mind. I feel more creative and more optimistic almost immediately!

We at Paris Envy are making a few changes here and there. A little embellishment to our blog and a few personal observations and tidbits added to our usual photos of the shop. We're glad to be part of the continuing renewal of central and downtown Phoenix, to be local business owners in the midst of so many corporate giants, and we want to celebrate the various places that make life here that much more enjoyable!

Many thanks to our loyal customers who love what we do! We look forward to seeing you and we welcome your comments here.

toujours (always),
laurie

This Just In



New around the shop:

zinc-topped buffets and cabinets
all hand made and one of a kind
beautiful and functional

































Industrial-style lighting
created from iron, glass
and ingenuity







Remember Paris Envy
when you've got to have
that something special
A statement piece
that will be with you for
a lifetime
Hand-crafted works of art
that all can afford

Change of Seasons

Summer vacations are over. School's back in session. And yet the temperatures soar. Welcome to September in Phoenix!
But we can't help getting just a bit excited over new pieces we've designed and built, new gifts and accessories we've scouted out and ordered, and the countdown to cooler nights and (eventually!) cooler days. Hope to see you soon!

From Top:

**Hand-crafted iron console table with poured concrete top, adorned with handmade "Paris" wooden clocks**



**Hand-crafted iron and travertine etagere**





**King-size headboard hand-crafted of iron and hardwood**
