Today was fabulous! We saw more french lavender, walked through some quaint towns, and found some amazing vintage finds at a brocante store.
Join me on a French brocante shopping day and see the thrifted treasures I brought home. A flea market in France is my dream, just wish the suitcases where bigger!!!
Da ich weiß, wie gerne ihr auf den niederländischen Brocante-Märkten "mitschlendert", hier eine kleine Bildauswahl vom Vatertag. Heide, eine liebe Freundin von mir, hat mich begleitet und wundervolle Brocante-Impressionen mit ihrer Kamera eingefangen, die ich euch nicht vorenthalten möchte (ihr Mann und sie betreiben übrigens den schönen Wohn- und Dekoshop Indoor-turtle www.indoor-turtle.de - Schaut doch mal vorbei, es lohnt sich!). Ein paar Bildchen von mir habe ich noch dazwischengemogelt. Ja, da weiß man gar nicht, wo man zuerst hinschauen soll, stimmt's. Ein toller Tag, auch deshalb, da man auf solchen Märkten viele Gleichgesinnte treffen kann, die man sonst nur aus dem Netz kennt. Bei so vielen herrlichen antiken Schätzen lacht mein Sammlerherz oder wie Justys es formuliert: " Im Brocante-Himmel und zurück".
From vintage apparel to second-hand treasures, here's your ultimate French antique market guide; including what to buy at a brocante.

I don’t know about you, but I never tire of looking at anything related to décor or France! Make that décor in France and I am hooked! So today I want to share with you a few of my favorite French décor magazines that I have found online…and they are all free! It doesn’t matter if you don’t speak French, the pictures say it all! Take for example this wonderful salon from Campagne Décoration! (Click on any of the magazine titles to be taken to the full article and more beautiful photos!) I love that fireplace…and that mirror…and that chair…sigh! Here’s another salon from Campagne Décoration. I love the elegant simplicity…and just look at that fabulous floor…je l’adore! Look closely…do you notice anything about this one from Le Journal des Femmes ? While we are working so hard to find or create authentic looking grain sack pillows complete with lots of French writing…their version is simple…and in English! lol Love the wall of cabinets…and such a pretty color! This tablescape for Réveillon or Christmas Eve dinner made my heart stop! I have studied every inch of it! I love those topiaries in pots on the mantel and I want those chairs! lol You’ll find it in Arts & Décoration. This is a great example of what the French call campagne (country) chic…their version of shabby chic! Look at those fabulous chairs and that cherub medallion on the wall! I found this in e mag Déco. Just click on this link to find a treasure trove of photos of this mas (farmhouse) near Aix in Provence! The plate lover in me is fascinated by this kitchen! I want to get into that hutch and check out their plates!! lol And look…there on the top shelf…some of those lionhead soup bowls I have been wanting! You can see more in Mon Jardin & Ma Maison. This kitchen reminds me of the one in the apartment where we stayed during my retirement trip to Provence! Ahhhh! See more of this lovely Provençal home in Campagne Décoration. And look at those wonderful floors and those fabulous chairs! Hmmm…is my chair addiction showing? This one is also from e mag Déco. I love the paint treatment on the walls…and check out that fabulous console table! You can see more of this home…er…château in e mag Déco. Here’s a simple yet elegant chambre! And check out that mirror! Once again, see more at e mag Déco. Could you curl up in this reading nook on a rainy day…with a cup of thé and a madeleine? Check out this château at Campagne Décoration. In fact, you can often find a virtual tour of a château in these magazines, such as this one that belonged to Madame de Staël…who is often called the first modern woman! It can be found at Art & Décoration. And what trip to France would be complete without doing a little shopping in Paris? This shop and more out of the way places in Paris can be found in Campagne Décoration. Hmmm…I am noting the address of this one! What excuse can I use to get my 10 year old grandson to agree to a stop at this one during our Paris trip this summer? Maybe they sell gargoyles! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed a little peek into my favorite French magazines!

Yes, eindelijk een kast gevonden waar ik blij mee ben. Anton heeft er twee dagen hard aan gewerkt maar het resultaat mag er zijn :D Ook vonden we op onze trip nog een prachtig ornament. Hij moest op het dag van de auto mee naar huis en thuis gekomen moest er 4cm van alle poten van de tafel af, maar hij staat. Ben er heel blij mee! Wij gaan van donderdag tot zondag een paar daagjes weg, dus dan zal ik geen mailtjes beantwoorden. Ik wens jullie allemaal een fijne week! Prachtig ornament Mooi vaas die ik bij Elian kocht Tv-kast voor dat anton bezig ging En na, vakjes verdeeld. Lades weer goed opgehangen .. 2 dagen werk.. maar zo blij met het resultaat Verliefd op de binnenkant en buitenkant
French country decor brings together: French Farmhouse, French provincial and French chateau. But what are the differences between these?
Il y a quelques semaines de cela, nous avons profité d'une sortie en famille au château de La Roche-Jagu pour aller faire un petit tour à Paimpol, tout près de là. Bon, en fait, ça n'était pas vraiment le fruit du hasard car j'avais repéré à plusieurs...

Inspiratie Afgelopen week kwam het nieuwe boek van Hans Blomquist bij ons binnen. Ik ben groot fan van zijn stijl. Soms verfijnd en soms ruig. Het nieuwe boek heet: In the mood for colour en staat bomvol inspiratie voor iedere stijl. Zo vind je in het boek foto's van kleur, crème tinten, stoer, romantisch en niet te veel tekst, wel veel mooie foto's. Precies waar ik van hou. Ik raakte ook geinspireerd en richtte onze woonkamerkast anders in. Fijne week!
