Winding further through Les Puces we were guided to another booth owned by the wonderful Les Elleweilles de Babalou. This time in the
@ Stand 14 on
To counter act the other location which was uber girlie. This booth is stocked mostly with wonderful male friendly goodies. Bow ties, ties and shoes galore this will keep the "manskies" amused.

Although you know I would never steer you anywhere that wasn't lady friendly. There are also beautiful things here for us gals as well. Including Dior and Madamn Grès!

Paris Shops: Les Puces de Saint-Ouen: Falbalas "Modes Vintage Dentelles"

OK maybe I say this all the time, but I mean it! This is one of my favorite places to shop in Paris!! Located at the Marché Dauphine in the clignancourt market, Falbalas is well.... simply fabulous! The Marché Dauphine houses mainly furniture but just pop your self up a flight of stairs and this little gem takes up booths 85-87.

Maybe I love this place partly because I am so very smitten with the wonderfully divine femme who owns the booth, as well as her strikingly debonair beau (who sadly wasn't there this visit).

Check out her gorgeous wood and bronze insect broaches!

These two have exquisite taste and always a wide range of beautifully hand picked vintage. They specialize in victorian with a mix of 20's-50's garb and accessories. Many of the pieces at Falbalas are museum and collection worthy and they run a hefty business for costume rental as well as having a line of vintage inspired shoes that you can order in any size.

There are fun things to see in every corner you look.

and you can ask for assistance to browse the rare goodies kept under wraps for serious buyers and rental.

Falbalas is a perfect resource for any lover of vintage as well as costume designers or stylist looking for something unique. Drop by and "Tell Them Taryn Sent You"!

Gros Bisous and Happy Shopping!

Paris Shops: L'Objet qui Parle

In the 18th Arr. Take a stroll down to number 86 on

(Near Rue D'Orsel)

There is a little beautiful and mysterious shop called

"L'Objet qui Parle", which very fittingly means "The Object that Speaks". It's name gives way to how intriguing the actual boutique is. The antique and inviting items spilling outside welcome you into this tiny little room filled to the gills with gorgeous antique crystal chandeliers, random taxidermy animals, religious paraphernalia among other intrigues. Just standing in this place for a minute will transport you to another place as it is bizzare and beautiful indeed.

Take a peek inside!

For a practical purchase I would look to the lighting fixtures as well as the antique kitchen wares. But if you're in the market for a stuffed owl there's a couple of those as well....

Tell Them Taryn Sent You! But don't be surprised if the items have a thing or to to say back to you!

And

right next door there is a little vintage shop that stocks mostly 60's and 70's garbs.

Tell them I sent you as well!
