Oooooooo! Friday the Thirteenth, mon petit moineaux, and we are all a-twitter! Big things are happening here at the Paris on the Ponce- so listen close:
Those who know us well, know that we are always up to something, and our latest and greatest focus has been to expand our vendor space into an exotic bizarre where every need for your home is met. Modern? We’ve got it. Mid-Century? Absolutely. In-House lighting designer? Yep. Americana? You betcha. Hollywood Regency? Of course. Industrial Chic? Silly question! How about terrariums, Paris flea-market finds, custom steel and wood furnishings, and Victorian taxidermy? Buckle up, cupcake- ’cause it’s all happening at Paris on Ponce, and we have given our little marketplace a new name. Come, and find the bohemian home you have long dreamed of at The POP Marché.
Visit our flick page for some of the items up for grabs!
True Blue.
Sky Blue.
Navy Blue.
Cornflower Blue.
At Paris on Ponce, we embrace all colors.
We also love Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, Solstice, and just plain old Winter.
We have 365 days of love for all people, but feel it especially keenly right about now.
We hope you’ve enjoyed our 12 days of Christmas special feature. (Lots of you written back to say nice things. Thanks for that.)
We have exciting things planned for 2012, including our own regular auction, new shops in the market, a gigantic surprise makeover, new exclusive bohemian home couture lines, expanded artisan workshops, and a thrilling, new, very-big-deal, Beltline-adjacent special event space. We’ll be in touch on a more regular basis to let you know all that’s going on.
We’re closed on Christmas day, but open again through year end.
Thanks for a great 2011.
You’ve made us very happy.
We’ll keep striving to share the joy and make the world a more beautiful place.
Love,
Skip, Dennis, Nicolette, Mike, Vance, Rahim, Sonja, John, Lisa, Kurt, Our Ponce Marche Family, Baudelaire, Kip, and everyone else at Paris on Ponce.
Day 11: Anthro Apologie and up to 30% off continues
Perhaps Abraham Lincoln said it best: “You can shop some of the stores some of the time, but you can’t shop all of the stores all of the time.” Unless you’re at Paris on Ponce. Our selection is so vast that within our 45,000 square feet, you’ll find every store you need. To prove our point, we’re willing to risk a little friendly trademark infringement with a gift selection we like to call “Anthro Apologie” (we also like to call it “Please don’t sue us. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; you’re a giant multinational and we’re just little old us.”)
Where can you find a selection of borderline-twee gifts from a demented russian babushka, a gypsy jetsetter on crack, and Stevie Nicks’ storage unit? Well, yes, you could go to the mall and shop The-Store-That-Will-Not-Be-Named, but we have our own whimsical, dreamy giftables right here in Midtown. And ours won’t be showing up in 160 other shops around the globe. Ours are ours. Until they’re yours.
Let’s wander around with our imaginary Anthro friend, shall we?
“Look! Birdcages! Dress Forms! Texture! Also, lots of little things [in this case, winecorks- ed.] glued meticulously together!”
“OMG! That teensy dachsund collage is sooooo cute. And rustic wood with metal letters. What does this remind me of?”
“OMG2! A vintage spool of thread! I don’t sew, but that sure reminds of someone’s granny.”
“Look, it’s a decoupage apple! Hey, wait a second, isn’t that textile spool an actual Anthro product?” (Well spotted Anthro-chick, Yes, it is. Even we couldn’t resist their intense cuteness.)
“OMG3! Love the coral jewelry casually draped next to the oversized floral print beside the seashell box. It’s like Virginia Woolf be trippin’.”
“Butterflies! From the very short list of insects that are cute.”
“Glass and chicken wire? Together?! I. am. in. love. And batik! And polka dots! But where is the bored, anorexic* salesgirl?”
“A terrarium! I love it when Nature is not all big and scary and climate-changey, but is instead brought down to controllable proportions and enclosed in glass and tolerant of haphazard care. But where are the fish?”
(Hey Anthro-Girl– you’re thinking of aquariums. These are terrariums. No fish. But we do have dozens of unique one-of-a-kind pieces in our newly opened mini-shop “Uncle Vance’s Terrarium-a-rama”. But watch out for Uncle Vance. We think he’s been snorting moss.)
Paris on Ponce- “Ripping off our evil multi-national retail overlords since 1996!”**
* Paris on Ponce has a big heart and generally does not condone either stereotyping or mockery of eating disorders. Except right around the holidays, when we need every coping skill available just to keep from stabbing someone with a cocktail fork.
**Once again, we joke because we love. Please; no lawsuits.
Day 10: Gifts for the Manly Man, and up to 30% off continues
Of course there are men who’d be delighted with “Quiche of the Month Club”, but we’re this year Paris on Ponce is bringing back both ’sexy’ and ‘outmoded gender stereotype’. Scroll on down and see what’s on offer for manly men of manliness.
Vintage straight razors, because nothing says “I’m manly” like a face covered in bloody dots of tissue paper. Also, child-sized boxing gloves, perfect for channeling your inner ‘Marquis of Queensbury’. And for inflicting lasting childhood trauma/sissyboy crying fits. Sorry– sensitive subject.
Baseballs, thermoses, and itsy-bitsy vintage European model train signals. “Sir; Yes, Sir!”
Vintage Popular Mechanics magazine (which is basically Ladies Home Journal without bundt cakes).
Bowling pins, cocktail shakers, and boxing gloves. Use all three for a newly invented violent drinking game. Fun!
Wait a second… that giant bottle is French. How did they sneak in the manly section? Oh… right… Gerard Depardieu. Never mind.
Beautiful trio of perfectly matched vintage cameras. Dude. Sweet.
A giant paper clip. Because real men don’t handle tiny little pieces of paper.
That’s all for today. We gotta go practice saying “Bro” with a straight face. Come see us. And don’t forget… up to 30% off.
yes, dears, we know…
all caps is the online version of shouting.
sorry for the outburst above, but WE’RE REALLY FLIPPING EXCITED ABOUT THIS SALE!!!!
so much so, that we have even resorted to exclamation points (!)
now that we’ve woken the online babies with our online shouting,
we’ll keep it very quiet. no caps at all.
we don’t want to startle the eccentrics.

very disturbing puppets. a few pictured here. many more lurking elsewhere.

We really want you to come up and see our etchings. Not in a creepy way.
Cartouche? Gesundheit!
A very fine and substantial marble mantle clock. Perfect finishing touch/murder weapon.
