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!!!


                               See you tomorrow for more sneak peak.


             
       
                                 
                             

                   






   

One week from today Charlottes Brocante comes to life for the night

 The sweet things from the huge Bagnoles brocante that I went to in May with my Shirley girl just keep coming. I only have 5 more posts so I had better get going.These keys I can never get enough of.Some  of them come from a hotel on St Honore which is one of the most famous streets in Paris.

 Pink ventouse.(these are like little jars the Frenchies would use for cupping)  sigh sigh and sigh.I do not know what to say as a pictures is worth a thousand words.Just add a votive and voila ambiance complete.

Will there be papers at Charlottes Brocante? Is that even an appropriate question to ask?Well if you
had to ask the answer is yes.

Oh and little plaques in emaille.These little sweeties speak of hot and cold for your faucets .

 How abut some little bouteilles that would hold perfume for you?

And last but not least little transport boîtes they would send gold and jewelry in the mail to you and seal it with wax.Have a safe weekend.See you on Monday for more sneak peaks from the brocante.

Still cooking with Charlottes Brocante and its all about the sweet little things

 The brocante is only 8 days away!!!!!!!  I cannot believe the 7th is just around the corner . I am going to keep serving you sweet things until we meet up at 6:00 and for you groupies 4:00

This little chalkboard has been used within a inch of its life....just the way we like it.It has two sides I think a memo board on one side would be fabu.With a piece of french chalk and eraser.Love it.

 Oh ,and Manny is at it again..She is such a french diva. Every time she knows the brocante is coming(which is only twice a year) she cannot wait to be at the center of attention ,in the middle of the room ,with all her jewels on. I do have to say you really never can get enough nacre (Mother of pearl) rosaries.Please do not tell her I said that.

 Tiny lettres slot (I know the french spelling of letters is the best.)

 A zing pitcher(yeah they say zinc like that cause they are french and they can.)

And last but not least a little pompier the frenchies use to carry water with. I hope you go to sleep tonight with sweet dreams of the brocante.

The door bells ringing whos coming to dinner?

 Would you not just love a little french bell ringing announcing your guests have arrived?

 And of course you need to have candle light for ambiance.These little sweeties have wooden wicks.

 You will also need some flowers so this grey vase will come in handy.

I always love when I find these lampions. The wavey glass is so ooh la la .These came from the catholic church and they would light the candles inside and say a prayer.

Be sure to go over to my friend Shirleys at Simply Chateau blog and see her "new" old salon she is finishing up. And of course you can find sweet little things all the time at her place to buy  if you cannot wait for Charlottes Brocante.Why wait when there is so much shopping to do and so little time.



OUI OUI OUI!!!!!!!!  ONLY NINE MORE DAYS UNTIL THE BROCANTE!!!

Now you really have to go visit Shirleys blog as I was just there and she blogged about some shades I sent her three years ago and they are going in the salon.They are on some plaques thick and antique  as the day is long . Ooooooooooooh I am jealous, but only in a good way.The old girl(I mean young) has waited a long time. I hope they do not let charles the cat in there as if a wind blows through he will think they are birds and there will be19th century silk and gold pom poms flying through the air ripped to shreds.
