take a peek ...

we've got some very special vintage collections in the shop now ... we'll be featuring a few from time to time, on the blog, as we bring them into the boutique.

Its funny how certain colors or items seem to attract mates to form a collection. For example, imagine your pretty fall table graced with a few of these very pretty pieces in blue and wine tones. There are some special transferware plates and old pitchers, vases and coffee servers ... which can be used as they were meant (serving coffee!) or to hold flowers as a centerpiece. Either way, a pretty touch for a fall dinner party.

Elle Décor shared a feature on collecting tea and coffee pots just this month ... we've done the hard work for you (scouring about to find them) ... so stop by and see what's here!

Tuesday and our 2nd week commences!

well, we've made it through one entire week ... even a rainy Sunday! We worked together Saturday and had an enjoyable day with clients and doing some renovations. Jean-Yves got the electricity sorted out and began work restoring a lovely old wooden chandelier.

We've had visiteurs and sales every day we've been open and feel very optimistic about our little enterprise! Clients really love the pretty clothes as well as our other items.

Hope to see you soon!

Nous avons bien fini notre prèmiere semaine ... même un dimanche pluvieux! Nous avons travaillé ensemble Samedi, c'etait trés agreeable avec clients et aussi nous avons faites les renovations. Jean-Yves installé le electricité et renové le vieux chandelier de bois.

Notre clients aimer tous les vêtements et les bijoux! Nous sommes trés contente avec notre petit entreprise!

À bientôt!

Market Day!

Friday is market day in Brantôme and while you'd think there might be more foot traffic, it doesn't equate to retail foot traffic. Folks make their way determinedly to the center of the village ... although they do park all along the Route de Perigueux and pass my house and atelier.

At least they will now pass the shop opened, with signs and balloons and perhaps make a mental note for return. I've had visitors in the shop today, but not many buyers!

Here is a pic of one of the favorite prints from La Fiancée du Mekong, the French clothing line we are carrying. Bright and colorful poppies remind you it is spring and time to show your colors a bit ... we'll help you do that with sundresses, scarves or spacious bags in this pretty print.

*********************************************
Vendredi est le jour du marché de Brantôme et peut-être pensez-vous qu' il y a plus de visiteurs,ce n' est pas vrait! Les piétons vont au centre de ville, mais beaucoup stationnement devant ma maison, ma boutique.

Donc, maintenant ils trouvent la boutique ouverte, les annonces et peut-être reviendront ils nous voir. Aujourd'hui, nous avons eux des visiteurs, mais peu de ventes.

Voila! une photo du tissu plus populaire que la Fiancée du Mekong, les vêtements que nous avons dans notre boutique, sont fleuris avec beaucoup de couleurs qui vous rappel le printemps! Nous avons des robes, des étoles, des sacs du même tissus.

les photos!

These are some of our new signs ...
