Aux Belles Choses

I can't believe I'm getting the FTR on this shop; it's been here for maybe 20 years. It specializes in French kitchen wares and if you love the provincial style this is the spot for you. The stock is a mix of new items with some antiques. I love the selection of soaps, the hand towels and the dried French lavender. My Mom loves adding to her collection of porcelain king cake "babies." The owner is delightful and the shop is well laid out. Definitely a great shop to find something different on Magazine street.

If you, like me, love everything French, this is definitely the spot to go! They have beautiful linens, soaps, feves (for King Cakes), serveware, sachets, porcelain boxes & so many other housewares. Around Christmas, I bought adorable Christmas ornaments & a beautiful oyster plate. Prices are fair & the woman at the register is incredibly nice. This will be my first shopping stop on my next return trip to New Orleans.
