On the Shelf: Natural Curiosities

One display that we always look forward to setting up the most is our collection of natural curiosities. Maybe it has something to do with our inquisitive nature but we always have so much fun taking all of these odd bits & ends & finding a way to make them fit together. From shells & geodes to taxidermy & bones, you never know what you might find in our collection. So be sure to come by the store soon & see if you can manage to resist the urge to pick up a magnifying glass & explore every detail of this amazing collection. ;)

A Corner for Comfort

One of our favorite corners in the store is this cozy little bedroom nook. Filled with the warm glow of Edison bulbs and the comforting arrangement of eclectic objects, the urge to lay down and take a nap has never seemed like a better idea. The corner is filled with great finds, including matching mounted stags, a handcrafted chess set, vintage luggage, oil portraits, and soft bed comforters just to name a few. With everything unified in soothing, muted earth tones, it's a wonder we don't find more customers stretching out on these beautiful twin beds! Despite being a full corner, this display is surprisingly minimal, keeping your mind and room at ease while you slumber.

Behind the Glass: Ernest Hemingway & the Caribbean

Inspired by one of the most influential American writers of all time, our current window display pays great homage to the legendary Ernest Hemingway.

From his earliest years of childhood Ernest possessed a deep fondness for the great outdoors. Seeking adventure anywhere he could, Hemingway traveled the world in search for inspiration that he would later use as a foundation for the many stories that filled his prize winning novels. With an immense love of fishing and hunting, Hemingway spent as much time outdoors as he did behind a desk. In his later years, Hemingway relocated to a home in Key West like no other. With a boat that allowed him to sail the caribbean, Ernest spent a great deal of time enjoying life on the sea. Filling his home with volumes of books, taxidermy from hunting trips and an enviable well-stocked bar, has inspired the majority of our window display. The intensity in which Ernest lived his life to the fullest not only inspired our windows but all of us at The Paris Market as well. Whether it be camping under the stars, a fishing trip, a wild game hunt, or simply relaxing with a cocktail, we're ready to enjoy a bit of adventure this summer!

Stop by soon and see our beautiful windows up close!
