5 out of 5 starsYay! My new tote has arrived! It is so lovely. The design is on both sides, which I didn’t expect, and I can’t wait to take it along the next time I go to the flea market or my favorite antiques shops. There was a delay in the shipping, but Janice was so swift to find out what happened and sent a replacement. ❤️

5 out of 5 starsHad a special request to add "Do not open until..." on the envelope since it was a birthday gift and that was no problem. Recipient loved it -- the perfect gift to open on a birthday! Highly recommend for quality, value, and customer service.

5 out of 5 starsLoving our letters so much! Such a pleasure to open real mail written on an old school typewriter. It’s a lovely reminder of old times. I’m going to have to buy a typewriter myself now.
About JaniceMacLeodStudio
The story behind Paris Letters
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.
