Ta Dah!!

A rainy day well spent, re-assembling an old Church chandelier, and attaching coloured crystals, and it is now hanging beautifully in my bedroom.

Stunning! Je suis contente!

 

 

 

 

My Vintage French House

My Etsy shop has finally been restocked.... a rainy day spent on the computer has resulted in this lovely selection of vintage French items!

Been busy brocanting again...

The weekends are now the busiest days of the week, with so many Brocantes it is hard to choose which ones to go to and which lovely treasures to buy!

6 Brocantes in one day!

So we set off in the dark, covered 250km and found a boot full of treasures along the way! We visited some beautiful vineyards around St Emilion, and even popped into an antiques fair just south of Bordeaux. So, the Brocante is now well stocked again for this season. Happy days!

Red Enamel

So, one of our elderly neighbours is moving, and down-sizing, so offered me their entire red enamelware collection, spots and all, how could I refuse?

 

King size!

Technically, nothing to do with Trouvailles & Trims, however this garlic could not go without a mention! Bought at a local farmer's market whilst truffling for Brocante on Sunday, I came across this king sized garlic, pictured next to a supermarket garlic bulb and a bottle of wine( purely for sense of scale you understand!) After 10 years of living in France, it still amazes me, the quality of the food that is so readily available! xx

Country Living USA
