Vintage love...

(Big sigh!)

I love this picture! Lots of vintage goodies stacked high on a dresser.

 We have been putting some of our own vintage lovelies in the shop this week.

Café au lait bowls are so adorable, they look great in any kitchen.

Traditional French storage jars add that bit of je ne sais quoi to any home & are not just for the kitchen. They could be used for utensils but how about on a desk to store pencils and pens,  or for art or craft tools, the list is endless...

These oval plates were originally designed for the dining table but would make gorgeous soap dishes or perhaps for jewellry or on a bedside table.

Aren't these café cups & saucers fabulous? Each printed with the Wagons Lit crest. Think Murder on the Orient Express....Wagon-Lits were the company who ran the Orient Express & the Train Bleu among other routes & were part of that wonderful era of steam.  Just imagine when your sipping your coffee from these, what it would have been like on those glamorous trains...

I couldn't believe my luck in Bergerac yesterday, in the middle of a roundabout, a huge bar of chocolate just waiting to be eaten. No such luck! It wasn't real, just to advertise the Salon du Chocolat (Chocolate fair) being held in the town this weekend.

Bon weekend mes amis...
