Guest Post: One Bunting Away

24 Dec

{Note from Jillian: So here I am in the land of incessant rain and square pillows. We arrived in Belgium yesterday evening and have already been stuffed with Chocolates and french fries. The kids are in heaven and haven’t left their grandparents side since we arrived. The Christmas table is set for this evening (17 adults and 9 kids) and the turkey has been picked up from the butcher’s. Soon various family members will arrive with cousins of every age (and we’ll meet our latest niece for the first time!). Christmas is indeed a wonderful time of year.

Today I have my latest guest post from fellow blogger Giova from One Bunting Away. Giova graciously wrote this lovely post about some little shops she found in Paris that are full of everything a crafter could ever hope for from one of my favourite brands Petit Pan. I think a trip to Paris is in order so I can go spend some time (and money) in these little boutiques. Pop over to One Bunting Away for some wonderful images and stories from two sisters who live on opposite sides of the ocean but have a shared passion for art and anything creative!}

I’m so happy that Jillian invited me to her colorful blog (I hope you are feeling better). And since we share a love of fabric, especially Petit Pan, I thought of nothing better than to show you this very colorful shop in Paris which is filled with great things that we need to have (even if in reality we really don’t!).

Some weekends ago on a very short trip to Paris, I went on my little excursion-a must always when I’m there- to Rue Francois Miron (which is where 3 Petit Pans are located, and of course some other nice stores too), but it is such a delight to be able to go into one and then another, and then another, and not have to walk more than ten steps each time!

You can find not only very colorful fabrics and you can see from the picture below, but all sorts of knick knacks for the avid crafter and sewer. The middle store is one dedicated to children where they sell wonderful toys, pijamas, bed sheets, garlands and room decorations.

Petit Pan has a wide range of prices, so I think there is something for every budget, and even if you don’t buy anything you’ll be inspired for sure.

I hope you liked the little tour of this store. And thanks again Jillian for having me here!

The Petit Pan shops are SO cute! I was there for the first time (!) earlier this week and didn’t leave empty-handed 😉
