What happened when we came back from Paris?
My Parisian corner developed soon after my last visit to Paris as I mentioned in the previous blog.Was working hard and designing boxes , my goal was to launch my website for Mother’s Day and I made it happen.Mother’s Day is usually a sad day for me because my mother lives far away but I guess i decided to start My Parisian Corner journey on that special day to connect with my beautiful mom. Miss her every day!the past 9 months has been the most exciting and challenging time of my life but it felt great because first it was my dream and second I didn't have to do it alone .My number one supporter and life partner Badi was always there to help , comfort and protect me when i needed it the most. I love him so much.On the other hand my best friend Virginia Tehrani , a beautiful human being and wonderful lawyer was by my side the whole time and still is.She introduced me to the most amazing people at the Gaithersburg Germantown chamber of commerce , i trust her so much to listen to whatever advise she’d give me , joined the Chambers , joined PNA and started networking , sponsoring , volunteering for charities, donating boxes for fund raisings and supported my community with the best of my ability and I want to say that it paid off.
The amount of love and support from every one that i got in touch with is incredible, I don’t need to go far to get help for my business development , everything i need is around me , I’m surrounded by business owners like myself who help me without hesitation and send referrals my way when opportunity comes.with their help and my own motivation and hard work another great opportunity opened up and my company hit a milestone opening our first store front in Gaithersburg , I still think i’m dreaming , today i am sitting in my beautiful store watching the rain outside and writing for my wonderful site visitors who give me so much love every time we come face to face or on social media . I couldn’t be happier and more grateful to my community .
Cheers to a peaceful colorful and happy new year 2026

Why My Parisian Corner?
In every place I've ever lived, there's always been a little corner in my home packed with colorful fabrics, ribbons, and beads, right next to my trusty sewing machine. I loved the creative process of making household items and clothes for myself, my daughter, and my sister. Then, upon traveling to Paris and living in France for a stay, I was wholly inspired by the beauty that surrounded me at every take. I wanted to pour all of the elegance that I experienced into my creations. I expanded my craft and began to design and curate gifts that I loved to receive for myself so that I could give to others. My extra-special gifts come from my heart to yours.
So, you may be asking: what exactly happened in Paris? The answer: a rekindled passion for all things Parisian that felt purely magical. It happened when I visited the famed City of Romance with my husband, the love of my life, on vacation. Walking alongside the river and taking everything in, from the luxury boutiques and architecture at every glance to the natural beauty that surrounds the city, I quickly realized that I never wanted to leave this place. The thought lay heavy on my heart the whole time, even though I was basking in the glory of this city. Then, one night, when we were sailing on the Seine, it hit me that I didn't have to leave Paris behind, but rather, I could bring it home with me. As they say in France, Voila! That moment bore the start of
My Parisian Corner 💜✨
Lights, Camera...Action! 💜
Upon returning from our trip, I began building what I had imagined in my mind. Whenever I had the chance, I went on small outings to curate precious items that reminded me of Paris and to arrange them in beautiful, colorful boxes of all shapes and sizes. The tools of the trade started stacking up in my studio, and the joy of bringing Paris home began to materialize in front of my very eyes. It felt amazing! I couldn't be happier with my decision to bring this magic with me and, box by box, gift by gift, instill that same happiness and magic that cities brings from my heart to yours.
