The Brocante is coming to town ,are you?









I had so much fun collecting these treasures back in the Sunny South of France this summer! It makes the rainy Oregon days seem bright and warm pulling them out and smiling at the memories they bring back. I love the smell of old books and the thought of who will be in the old frames this time around . I love the pattissiere labels and think it delightful to wonder the sweet treats they will find their way into. I managed to find a little 19th century fabric to put on some old french towels and made some Lavendar sachets as well. I love the little treasures from the Brocantes of France. They make my heart skip a beat or two and I hope they do the same for you................

  1. Hi Amy! I was tickled pink to find out your store is in Canby. I am in Sherwood, practically next door. I so enjoyed reading all about your adventures at the Brocante with Corey on here blog. I will definitely be at your opening. Can you please tell me the address of your fabulous new shop. Thanks so much! Looking forward to meeting you.

    Hugs,

    Lisa

  3. Congratulations, Amy. I have read about you and your shop on Corey's blog. I am experiencing France in this manner. I am excited that you are opening your shop in Oregon, in a historic house. We need the cultural opportunities. I live in southern Oregon but will plan a trip to see your place soon. Good luck. Ardis in Rogue River

  4. OH NO, I am having a sale that same weekend and can't come. I have so been looking forward to meeting you and seeing your brocante stuff. Will you be doing it again soon? or is it only this weekend. I would love the music cards, at least one of them.

  6. Sorry, about all the typos in the last comment I deleted. This is what I meant to type. (LOL)

    Hello Amy,

    I just came from Corey's blog. There is a photo of an amazing head with a crown. I'm in love with the crown on the doll. Will you be selling that piece?

  7. I think you need to list items online to give us all a chance to own something from your travels. I love your selections. Wish I lived close by! Good luck in your venture.

    Please let me know if you are willing to sell the santo head (Corey's blog), blue books and music cards on your site. I so wish I could be in your area but work calls :(

  9. Bonjour! So glad I found your blog. I love the French music cards and I too have a big thing for antique frames. Sounds like you've been bitten by the French love bug - there really is no other place quite like France! Good luck with your new venture!

  13. Hello!
    Such a funny thing, life! I live near you (Tualatin) and a best friend lives in Canby! I just found out about your sale, but this weekend I am in Seattle. Odd, huh?
    Do you still have items for sale? A shop or just your home? How would I go about looking and purchasing things?
    Love to make connections!
    Betty :)
