What happens when you mix together one French music card, a 19th century French candy box and two darling wrapped in old French document and medal candles? You get one wonderful give away. In celebration of Charlottes Brocante coming to town next Friday, the 9th of September!! I will be back on Labor day to announce a winner. Overseas bidders are welcome.
Thank you so much my sweet angels for stopping by again. I will leave you with a few more sweet things available at the brocante on the 9th.................
Darling candles the french used for there sapin noel (christmas tree) I am thinking a few documents wrapped around would look great.
This 19th century sangsue (leech) jar was used at the hospital for the leeches.They would swim around while they were waiting to get used. They would tie a string around the lip to keep them in. I use it for flowers and bath salts.I love these.
And this champagne basket has a crown. Bonne weekend!!!
Should you get the pink thread with the .......................................
blue books? Or get the..................................
green books and the............................
blue silk ribbons......................or.................................
get all the pink books because pink is the happiest color in the world!!!!!!!!!!!! You have until September 9th to obsess about it.I mean figure it out.
The clock strikes 6 and the fairy tale begins(the only difference is you are fighting with your closest friends to rip the clock off the palace wall to take home with you.)
You then make your way over to have a refreshment and realize there isn't any but it is not a total loss.You get some beautiful champagne coasters to sit your glass on when you get home.
Then you see your prince all decked out in his best.....................
complete with tails.You know this is a banner but the love is just the same.You have found the one!!!
After all is done at the brocante you wish you would have got some 19th century candle sticks and.......................
and 19th century candle holders from the Catholic church.But alas you were too busy with the prince and they are all gone. Then from across the room you notice someone has put there bag down...........They haven't even paid for them yet..................Maybe just a peek see..........After all it is your fairytail so it can end however you want:)
Let me give you a little tip if you are coming to Charlottes Brocante (No, it is not these french tip plates with little boxes on them:)

I cannot get enough little boxes from the brocante.They don't have to have anything in them and I will squeal like a crazy cochon(piggy).............
please oh please oh.................. do not get me started about when I find music cards.They are the key to my happiness. Finding these is like finding gold except you do not get rich and they are worth nothing to most people. Maybe they are like fools gold.Well I can tell you this fool loves them.

and four inch French Bottles the shade of the Cote d' azur sitting on a zinc drying bottle rack.............That about covers it for today, I zinc ?
