New items for sale

Hello! I hope you have all had a wonderful Summer with memories full of fun and laughter be that with friends and family. As the summer fades away we look forward to a new season. 

I always like it when the Autumn approaches! The children return to school which can be exciting but scary. The leaves start to fall signaling to us Winter will soon be here. I love the thought of bonfire nights, and hot cups of tea or cocoa around the fire. You search out your jumpers and coats. Start to think about stocking up on wood for the log-burner, some even start thinking about Christmas.

I have to say i am guilty of this crime! I recently purchase Vintage by Nina Hartman 'A Winter's Tale'. It truly is a stunning book which feels you with excitement about creating a very special atmosphere in your home over the winter months.

Recently we have been stocking up again on some items, and I wanted to show you what's in my brocante-vintage Ebay store at the moment. Please click on the link here which will take you straight there.

Brocante Finds at the Fairs

Hello, i'm back with a quick article on some lovely antique furniture items I found on our last Brocante trip to France. I found a few things to sell but ended up finding lots that I wanted to keep for Ayla's room and furnishing our house...

We found a lovely antique wardrobe which I have painted using Annie Sloane chalk paint and lightly distressed...

A very small chest of drawers, these are just perfect for her little clothes to go in and its unusually small...

Other bits found...

A small table - again very small, not sure where this will go yet?

An vintage wooden rocking horse...

 Two little stools...

A set of children's metal chairs. These were originally green, but I sprayed them white and distressed them...

An old kitchen chair that is very wonky...

An old bentwood chair...

An old clock...

A mid-size wardrobe that I have housed my old computer in.

You probably know by now that I quite like white :-)

There is still quite a lot to do on the house but slowly I am getting some furniture pieces together. It is really rewarding when you find old pieces that look in need of some TLC. You put in the effort, you turn them around and they look special.

I have found this adorable little coffee table. He is a handsome little fella with his strong stocky legs...I will be putting this into my Ebay store soon...

Thanks for reading
Au revoir
