You're Invited

A dream and a trip to France to make Charlottes Brocante come to fruition. I went to France alone to discover all the things I love and bring them home with me, but the best thing I found was a friend. A intimate and lovely brocante loving friend. She is small enough I could have stuck her in my pocket to bring her home with me .Reluctantly I left her behind in body but not in spirit. I was reunited with my dear Corey love in California last week. When I was in France she took me into her home out of the goodness of her heart .I was terribly lonely when she found me and a dinner in Provence turned into 10 days of dancing ,cooking,laughter and shopping. She dried the tears from my eyes and washed my feet and tucked me into a billowy bed of old linen in her home in the South of France. Magic I tell you pure magic.(I will tell of her Precious husband Yann and beautiful daughter Chelsea)This store is the culmination of a journey of believing in your dreams, even though I discovered the best dreams are the ones you never knew you had and they come to life in full color..... and your living them. See you at the Brocante....

  6. Amy! Amy! I'm so excited to find you here. I checked when I first learned of your shop but it was right at the beginning and you must have not been active yet. God bless Corey for giving you a shout out. I'm here. I'm following. And - the NEXT time I'm in Oregon to visit the kids, I'll BE there. Hugs, Annie

  7. I totally understand your love of France and all things French. I, too, went to France but in 2004 and have not been able to shake the "feeling" either. Good luck to you and I hope we will meet someday. I will be attending your brocante on November 6...see you there. Much Luck, Billie
