Portfolios full of prints? Like botanicals?

How about folding chairs. Seems practical. Enjoy whatever it is.

Beautiful old door knobs, panes of watery, antiqued glass to replace those broken or missing, vintage metal signs with favorite destinations and digits, romantic switchplates darkened by by the fingers of hundreds of parents checking on their tots all through the night, or a cutlery/knife safe once owned by a Romanian circus family whose star performer disappeared one evening on the train from Paris to Berlin…

perhaps a map with the streets leading to the subways near the apartment!

I’m guess French Husband was out looking for cookie sheets and found them. Sounds mundane but very useful.

I’m guessing French Husband bought cookie sheets. Not very romantic but useful.

I’m thinking four elephants!! Or four candelabras?
-
Corey…you are so crazy and so funny! I love that picture of you on the “bus”.
I think French husband has a smirk on his face and he’s bringing you a BIG box of chocolates….. -
I am going to guess antique sepia lithographs for the walls. They would look so lovely with the color scheme you have going on in your classy apartment.
-
OK, what one thing would you send Yann out for, and be even happier when he comes back with four? Bowels for the kitchen; maybe he found a set? Cool clothes hooks for the bedroom or coat hooks for the entry?
-
OK, another guess. As it really is a picture fame size, I am going to say a print, etching, painting even of that archetypal French emblem: Marianne. As you’ll be having lots of footfall in your apartement from us foreigners, nothing would be more sublime than an antique face of Marianne gracing the walls somewhere!
-
A box of gorgeous antique silver cutlery?
-
Sconces?
-
Yann looks to be straining under the weight of the bags.
So, here we go:
Candlebras, forks, knives, silver, monogrammed linens, antique plates, vintage tins, French bone and ebony domino set, door knocker, antique metro map, copper kettle, seltzer bottle, antique French hotel desk bell, skeleton keys..
And one old glorious woven market basket. -

Books about Paris: history, picture books or maybe travel books with interesting places to see and visit while in Paris.
Maybe, there’s a plant in that bag . . .he couldn’t decide between a boxwood topiary or ivy.
How about a wooden collapsible dish drain? Or, a beautiful mirrored tray.
Perhaps, you needed a notebook to keep track of the apartment expenditures. Or, to catalogue your collection of old prints.
Did you decide that it was time for a Louis Vuitton brief?
Love this, Corey . . .thanks for the fun! -
Did he pick up shades for the windows?
PS . . .had to try one more time! ha -

4 framed french love letters

lace curtains, salt box, pepper grinder, antique alarm clock…???

I can’t believe all these things have been suggested and not a single one is correct. It must be something so bizarre or something so simple like toilet paper that we are not getting it. If it is the black bag Yanny is carrying you can see the shape & it is big. If it is in the other small bags….well we could be guessing forever!!!!
-
Some kind of sign…like one that says rue du Chateau or bienvenue or fermature pour congee annuelle or chien mechant…?
I love Melodies Graphiques. Their windows are so eloquent and inside, an enchanted world!
