Frenchie Bon Voyage!

I am taking French lessons in anticipation of going to France next spring.  One of my friends is going to Paris so we all had lunch at Le Petite Provence today.  We were suppose to speak only French but it would have been a very silent lunch and we have so much to share each time we get together.  My daughter kids me that we aren't really a French class but a French club...she's probably right!  Oh the flea markets, I can hardly wait for my turn!!

Here are some pictures from my last trip to France. They are so ahead of us in design.  This was over two years ago and we just now are seeing the acrylic Queen Anne and cafe chairs




Loved this great idea for a table...



And it was all in the Galleries Lafayette (Paris' equivalent to Macy's...Macy's never looked so good!)...



Our $200. a night hotel room close to the Eiffel Tower. The pictures in the brochure must have been using a wide angle lens!  We had to climb over Sue's bed to get to the bathroom.



One of our favorite places, a graveyard!  Thought I'd share these for Halloween...



Don't know why someone would want a creepy bat on their beautiful crypt....



Or the Angel of Death guarding the crypt?

Beautiful Fall...

Here are some beautiful pictures of what's in store at the store. Come on in and enjoy! We are sure having a nice fall...sunny days, cool crisp mornings and nights, leaves changing, hydrangeas drying.....

Decorating for the Season

Halloween time is coming up on us fast! It's going to be more fun this year as my grandson is getting old enough to be thinking about a costume. How about that Dutch Boy?? He has the blonde hair already and Daddy is part Dutch so he has the look! Can hardly wait.

And at the shop we are also getting our Halloween decorations out. Come on in and check them out.

It's Almost a Zoo Here

As I look at the pictures for the blog I am surprised at all the animals.  I did notice that birds seem to be "in" this year after observing what was available at the gift shows.  And the farm animals are really popular.  What a fun picture to have in the house.  Here are a few of our offerings:

What's New?.....Lots!

We've restocked and are weeding out the summer things (no pun intended!).  The season is definitely changing here.  I love the crisp coolness in the air even on a sunny day.  September is my favorite month...could it be that it is also my birthday month??    Anyway, it's a great time to change things up.  Here's a sampling of what's new:

Summer's Ended So Let's Make Room For The New Season

We need to clear the shelves for the new season so we are having a sale.  All of our garden things are 30% off.  Help us make some room so we can get ready for fall.

We've Got a Handle on You

Among our many souvenirs are a neat bunch of handles for dressers.  They are so beautiful and also so hard to find!  So if you are wanting to dress up some drawers come give them a look...
