It’s all about the mix.

 

Part treasure box, part art gallery, the Bobbie Medlin shop is a delight. French flea market finds, unique jewelry, sculpture, paintings, and even that “perfect gift” are waiting for you. We are also proud to be the Northwest retailer for the French ceramics company, Astier de Villatte.

If you, too, believe it’s all about the mix, come and visit. No matter your budget, we’ve got something for you. You’ll be glad to have us on your list of favorite shops.

Astier de villatte

Benoît Astier de Villatte and Ivan Pericoli founded Astier de Villatte in 1996. Following the tradition of the great 18th century Parisian ceramic studios, they employ Tibetan artisans to create their charming, one-of-a-kind ceramics in black terracotta with a milky white glaze.

Lightweight and fragile-looking, the pieces are both strong and durable and wholly unique. They are now one of the last major studios in Paris keeping this tradition alive.

Alongside their ceramics, Astier de Villatte make scented hand care products, incense and candles. 

Our inventory is constantly refreshed. 

Special orders are encouraged.

It is an absolutely perfect day to shop downtown. With the hubbub of the holidays behind us, it’s pretty peaceful down here.😉 Plus…there are January bargains to be had.

Silver leaf and polymer clay are the components of this light-as-air pair of earrings. Plenty of movement bring interest to the wearer. About 1.5 inches overall.

This marble sculpture was carved by Louise Durocher in homage to French sculptress, Camille Claudel. If you know Claudel’s story, you can immediately feel the sensitivity in this piece. Durocher’s work is always evocative and truly masterful. More of her work can be seen on her website.
