Aren’t these vintage Paris postcards fantastic? I found them in an antique shop a few months back and finally got a chance to scan them. The booksellers along the Seine are my favorite. Oh Paris…
Stressed out over what to wear?

I often go to Paris (my sister lives there) and I have always had a strange hate-love approach to this city. But since when I went with my boyfriend a couple of years ago, I started to appreciate the French capital city. It’s like I saw it as a “even-too-perfect-too-romantic-city” and didn’t focus on its “ugly” aspects.
I don’t know what I’m saying makes any sense, but recentely I began to think that ugly aspects make pretty things prettier. So it’s the same for Paris and its worst suburbs and quarters!
Alessandra — Take me with you! I haven’t been in a few years now and I promise to make you see it like a kid in a candy shop. I’m glad you’re warming too it ; ) xxoxo
I love the little sellers along the seine too! I bought some really cute old postcards and had them framed however this reminds me I haven’t seen them since our move!
You find the most fantastic things, I want to find fantastic things as well.
I’d absolutely love to step back in time to this old Paris. But I haven’t been even in this time yet. I think I need to start planning.
Thanks for taking me to Paris today Katie ( if only it came with coffee and a croissant).. I have been dreaming of doing a house swap in Paris for a month… I hope we can do it sooner than later…

I love these! wonderful finds!
So interesting to see the city in that way. As I look out my window as I type this, my view of Paris is drastically different. I’d love to transport myself back in time!
These melt me. I’ve been three times and one time I stayed for 6 weeks. I can actually see the apartment building I rented a place in! It’s in the 2nd postcard~ the first building on the left of the street. That building to the right is the Louvre… the location couldn’t have been better, right by the Tuileries. Heaven. Thank you for making me smile this morning!
Great find! It always amazes me how different the city looked back then before everything was cleaned.
I love love love these!! Paris is just gorgeous and romantic to me…
when I was there this summer I stayed in a hotel with views of Notre Dame… I think the third photo was taken from the front door of our accommodations!
LOVE these!
I have a couple vintage Paris postcards I picked up in Charlottesville and I always use them as bookmarks. When they fall out of the pages, they always make me smile!
“We’ll always have Paris”. right?
The simple look to postcards can take us there and feel a little better, isn’t it?
I have an old postcards set that was sent by a friend and live in agony wondering what to do with it… will you share your framing so I can have inspiration?
Love,
T
I love, love, LOVE vintage postcards! These are gorgeous!:)
I’m slightly embarrassed to admit that I recently found your blog. Fantastic! I thought you might want to know, though, that when I saw your profile photo my immediate thought was, “she reminds me of Carey Mulligan”. After reading some of your posts, I noticed you mention her quite often!
Good luck with Matchbook’s launch! How exciting! I CAN’T wait to read it!

Vintage Paris is so dreamy! I think I could just poster my living room walls with prints and photographs.
