La lettre d'Ines - Bonjour
 
July 30th 2020 / Letter #249
I think this letter is the most messy letter I have ever written! But there are weeks like that, when things go in all kinds of directions ... a new shop, a little high-tech, a series, a bag ... That said, every time I discover or hear about something that I like, I think of you. And if I have to wait for the perfect topic letter to tell you about it, I will surely have forgotten by that time!

In a small street in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, rue Guillaume Bertrand to be exact, there is a drugstore just as I like them : La Droguerie Parisienne. A kind of mini Maison Empereur with a host of things: "old-style" or rare cleaning products, saucepans, soaps for everything, sponges, brushes of all sizes, cutting boards, wooden spoons, enamel dishes ... well thousands of things that I could have inspected for hours. Everything is made in France, if not in Europe, and irresistibly tempting!

In this drugstore, everything is nicely displayed as well : products are presented by theme, often in bulk in baskets or in large enamel bowls. There are things I knew but didn’t know where to buy them and others that I discovered, like these refillable coffee capsules compatible with all kinds of machines. Impossible to be more eco-friendly !

Really, bottles are a recurring subject in my last letters... But these are new thermos ones. Big advantage compared to the previous : they keep drinks hot for 12 hours and cold for 24 hours. Yes, we are improving! I ordered several because I am sure everyone will use it at home! And if you really want to reach ultimate perfection, I also spotted a website to have them customized !

The other day, I heard a conversation that seemed to captivate everyone around the table: what is the perfect printer at home? A clearly endless topic! Everyone had an idea on the most performing, the most compact, the cheapest, the prettiest ... but I really got interested when I learned that some new printers could go without cartridges... Crazy! In fact, these printers work with ultra-high capacity tanks (you can print up to 6,000 pages) filled with bottles that you buy separately. The huge advantage is that you no longer spend a fortune on cartridges (bottles cost around € 9). Of course, the printer is a bit expensive to buy, but it’s worth it! You can also take a look at the back market website which offers many refurbished and therefore cheaper products.

Also rather compact

Better than cartridges!

My friend Emilion introduced me to a series which I unexpectedly happened to adore! The Last Dance, a Netflix series which tells the story of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls dynasty (you understand why I did not rush spontaneously...). Well, this documentary series is not only about sport, but also about a complex personality, a style, a destiny and an era: the 90s. We understand why Michael Jordan had such an impact on the world of sport, but also on the world in general. His destiny, whether we are a fan or not of basketball, is fascinating and I watched the episodes (there are 10) with greed and emotion.

This morning, I met a mother at the market who not only reads this letter but also told me about her daughter who makes funny little personalized bracelets that are absolutely perfect for summer. They are waterproof, UV and extreme temperature resistant (hmm ... just like gold!). You can order them with your sweetheart’s first name or Nine, Violette, Dinky, Mosca ... or even just with your first name. Of course, you can imagine other messages: imbecile, neurasthenic, crazy, psychopath, lalettredines, Gaga ... This can be a good starting point for a conversation with this cute beach attendant that you have spotted and who will necessarily be puzzled by this bracelet, thin as a thread yet meaningful!

Sometimes, I come across brands thanks to Instagram as you know. I spotted this bag a while ago and then was waiting to write some "special bags" letter-that I finally never wrote-to tell you about it. No, rather than forgetting again, here is my little treasure: a leather clutch bag handmade in Spain by a brand that is still fairly confidential since there is no e-shop yet and you have to order it directly to the designer via her Instagram account. It's pretty girly and looks like a pouch but I like it. And if you like it too, I recommend the black one.

Next week, you will probably be on vacation, in any case that's all I wish you, so I thought that I could give you some ideas to improve your guestroom or even your own bedroom. I’ll think and will tell you all about it in my next letter! See you on Thursday then!
