Antique French Bronze Weekly Planner

"I have nothing to do, and that's what takes all my time."

~ Antoine Rivarol, 18th century French writer

Guess what, Busy Bee: the desire to organize our days and keep focused on each day's tasks is nothing new! Behold, the 19th century French version of the Daily To-Do List!  Instead of a wall calendar, a daily diary, a digital calendar or yellow sticky note, here is a lasting and well-made bronze plaque with a place to note each day's activity. With gothic design elements, this purposeful plaque was designed to hang on the wall and remind you of what needs to be accomplished each day of the week.

Down the center of the handsome plaque, are small pockets embossed with the first initial of each week day in French. (L for lundi = Monday, M for mardi = Tuesday, M for mercredi = Wednesday, J for jeudi = Thursday, V for vendredi = Friday, S for samedi = Saturday and D for dimanche = Sunday). The small pocket for each day is large enough to add a small piece of paper or note card with that day's principal activity - be it crucial (buy more wine!), or mundane (pay rent!), you are reminded that something needs to be accomplished that day. (Or if you are Mr. Rivarol, you can remind yourself that actually nothing needs to be accomplished!)

Found on our most recent visit to the always-inspiring Paris markets, we are confident this wonderful antique weekly planner will be a storied accessory and beautiful objet for your home or office.
