Trying out the iPhone to blog in Paris

Bonjour mon Amis. It is official. I have a iPhone and I will be trying to blog from Paris to Isle sur la sorgue and in between. This is a pic of me and my boyfriend. (also my husband ,but boyfriend sounds funner) A bientot

Merci Merci beaucoup from Charlottes Brocante .Did you know you are sending me to France for the 11th time?

I really have no way to express adequately how much I appreciate you all coming to the brocante. It truly is magical.There would be no Charlottes Brocante without you.I am always amazed at your excitement and it reallly is almost as fun having you come as it is going to France......I did say ALMOST. I am at it again on September 26th.I am so excited to look for the items on your wish list for the brocante in February.Here is a glance at some of my favorite things around my maison.

 A Million little things draw me back to France over and over again.This chalk board is one of my favorite things ever.This came from one of my favorite shops on a little tiny rue in Paris.

 And this paint box came from my Shirley girl in the North of France.She comes up with some good things and this is one of them.If you cannot go to France it can come to you via her Simply Chateau store.

 Books are among my favorite things to bring home and any little charming whos it or whats its.This little ribbon with a harp was for a musician in the military . It would button right onto the uniform.

 Did I mention I love books? French books covered in 18th century fabric are Tres Jolie.This little shelf spends its days lounging in luxury together. 18th century amis need to stay together.

 18th century pictures are something that is a must have for me too.I love the details and precious faces. I guess you could say 18 century is for me.

                                                      Oh and tassels.Lets just say I own a few.

                                             A barometer that is lovely.That is all it has to do.Rubans and lauriers make me say ooh la la.

Did I mention I love french books? Cascading out of a panier. This is one time I realize I am repeating myself.(I am sad to say other times I do not.Middle age oooooooh)

Again thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and making my life a little sweeter along the way.

Charlottes Brocante is tonight from 6-9 .....you all know the way!!

                                                            Bonjour Mon Petite Anges.

 

Le magasin.......

Charlottes Brocante is finally here!

                                                                The flowers are ready.

And a million sweet things await you.(at least a hundred  for sure:)

These ventouses are shined up and standing at attention.Anything that is already precious looks even more so under these.

 Petite pink buttons that  are hoping they will go home with you.

Tiny zinc jardin markers to sweetly whisper what you planted in your favorite pot.

Oh and these.......Miniscule in size but big in personality proudly displaying there French heritage with Bvt.scdg written on them. Just add oil and a wick and the darkness will run from you.I think these would be great on your garden table.

While your at  it how about a few bulbs in these sweet confiture pots.The Frenchies used to get jams and jellies in them.It is good to recycle non?

A Bientôt (see you soon)

I AM RUNNING OUT OF TIME TO SHOW YOU CUTE THINGS SO YOU WILL HAVE TO COME SEE TOMORROW FOR YOURSELF

CAN YOU BELEIVE THE BROCANTE IS TOMORROW?I JUST HAVE ONE MORE DAY TO TEASE YOU!

 These sweet little hand bookends make me smile.

 Pink apothecary jars, I think they are superb!

 Little wooden spools for putting ribbon or twine or whatever you want..The say made is france which is sure to please.

 Does not every lady need one of these handles to carry there purchase around the town.I have one and I use it all the time.When they say things like Louvre and Paris it just makes them that much more fun.You can also just put them in a jar because it makes you happy.

 Little lanterns with candle meant to hang on your christmas tree.

And old rose fabric on the original roll.She wants to see all the states have to offer.



I will have one final post on Friday and then look forward to seeing you from 6-9 .I CANNOT WAIT!

THREE DAYS UNTIL CHARLOTTES BROCANTE AND THE SWEET THINGS JUST KEEP COMING

 How about a lock shaped box to get your lettres from?

 A little hemp bag to put your daily baguette in?

 If not the how about a tube for mail delivery? Tres chic I know.

Oooh and how about these linen bags perfect to put a little a bit of lavender in and just hang around to look and smell good in your house.

And last but not least a sweet display box from a French magasin (store).By chance could any of these be yours?


See you tomorrow for the last of the sneak peaks of the brocante.

You only have to go to bed 4 more nights until Charlottes Brocante comes to life......

The hour is drawing near for the brocante.If you have to wait why not pass the time looking at a clock like this? I do every time I go to the shop but I know it is only a matter of time (no pun intended....wait maybe a pun intended:) until these treasures go to their new home.

 These sweet little specimen jars with paper tags and Paris whispering across them I will soon say Au revoir to you.

 Monsieur and Madame Pierriot I too bid you adieu.

 One 18th century poetry book Bonne Journee (safe travels ) to your new home.

You lucy girl are staying with me.UNLESS YOU WILL NOT STOP PLAYING WITH MY TASSELS.Then come brocante time we shall see.

5 more days until Charlottes Brocante

I pledge the allegiance to the flag of the Repulique of Francaise. Ok ok  I am proud to be an american but lets face it red white and blue looks good on them too.This little plaque has a sash that the mayor would wear.Love it.

Oh and chocolat boite how I love you.

                                

                                   Some sweet little ticking fabric is waiting for you.Grey and khaki colors that make you say ooooh.


                           












Little buttons on plaques that say Mode Parisienne.mmmm





Let us not forget these little fabric stamps who need love too! They need someone to take them home, might it be you?  5 more days!!!
