Confectionique

Confectionique is an adorable little shop located in the Middleton Airport. Very random, but very worth the trip. Each month the «market» has a theme and is only open a few select days a month. Because of this, the store is very, very crowded, so be prepared to get cozy with the people around you. The nice thing is that with such a beautiful setting, everyone is in a good mood and friendly and you’ll have a few random conversations about the goods you’re looking at.
The owners seem like super sweet people who are enjoying living their Parisian dream with their customers — on our visit they were co-​manning the checkout counter to get everything wrapped and added up in quick fashion and were very friendly and gracious — they exude appreciation that you’re there and make you feel like a regular that’s stopped in a corner shop as opposed to a stranger in an airport.
I came away with a lovely greeting card featuring a fox and floral design, plus a ceramic bird teapot for my mother for Christmas. After getting home I flipped the pot over to see who made it, and was a bit disappointed to see it was a mass-​market made in China piece. The store’s tagline is «Authentic. French. Vintage.» and this was none of those things. The inexpensive price probably should have tipped me off ($ 17), but at the end of the day it was a great, affordable find that I think the recipient is going to love, so who cares?
Looking forward to stopping back in again, and I’m excited to go during warmer weather so I can sit out for a bit and watch the planes come and go!

I cannot resist this place! You walk in the doors, and it’s like being in the most magical and whimsical dream. The shop is open once a month, and it is uniquely decorated each time you visit. The shop owners visit paris once or twice a year and work with french and local vendors to fill the shop with delightful treasures. Whether you have specific items you’ve seen on Etsy, Anthropologie, on a blog your visit, or if you are just looking for decorating inspiration… this place is a must! Today I visited and walked home with a vintage food scale and an antique minnow bucket. Both items I’ve been searching for, and I found them here reasonably priced and in fabulous condition. Next month I intend on visiting on the Thursday night… as they serve free wine while you shop!

Absolutely delightful space filled with treasures that have been artfully «repurposed» by crafting sisters Jessica & Anastacia. Their once monthly markets have. Changing theme and are not to be missed!
