Paris Letters by Janice MacLeod A Paris by JaniceMacLeodStudio

I send painted letters to those who crave fun mail. Most letters are about my life in Paris. I create a piece of art each month, then write a letter on it. I copy the letter, personalize each copy (Dear Jane, Dear Spence, Dear YOU), and send it out snail-mail style to those who like to see a sweet surprise in their mailbox.

BOOKS
My new book A PARIS YEAR, is a travel journal of my days and nights in Paris.

My book, PARIS LETTERS, is about how I came to create the letters you'll find here in the shop. I'm pleased and delighted that it made it onto the New York Times best seller list. Once falling for a charming butcher and deciding to hang my beret in Paris, I had to come up with a way to afford my new life. These letters are the result and have been shared around the globe with lovers of letters and of Paris.

KIND WORDS

“A Paris Year is the kind of beautiful book you want to hug against your chest.” —Samantha Verant, author of Seven Letters from Paris and How to Make a French Family

“Janice’s journey of a year in Paris is downright magical. A wonderful read!” –Lindsey Tramuta, journalist and author of The New Paris

“As much a treat for the eyes as for the soul. A Paris Year is a must for anyone who loves Paris.” –Lisa Anselmo, author of My (Part-Time) Paris Life: How Running Away Brought Me Home

"Charming ... How memorist Janice MacLeod rewrote her life story, one gorgeously illustrated letter at a time" - FLARE Magazine

"How letters from Paris led one Canadian to a new career (and created a fantastic Christmas gift idea for everyone)" ELLE Magazine

"Aspirational fiction? No, a true story to inspire similar dreamers out there." - NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

“…her illustrated “Paris Letters” – is a dandy way to earn funds and one I would have never thought of. But it’s genius and a wonderful use of her creative writing and artistic talents.” - DEAR AUTHOR

Jardin des Plantes: Paris Letters, September letter about Jardin des Plantes

I think the best thing about these skillfully crafted bird designs is how they can be used for so many occasions, for cheer-ups to condolences and postcards to little notes of love. Although, part of me just wanted to keep them all for myself...

Got my first letter. It’s so precious, both the painting and the story. I love it!!! Sad that she’s ending her Paris letters but am also glad to be a part of the last year of this project. Can’t wait to receive the rest of the letters this year ❤️
