Adore this little tufted settee.. so perfect so sweet..and the tufting is divine.

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!

When we visited Paris last month our goal, aside from eating and drinking everything in site was to shop.  I know it is terrible right!  We were in the process of trying to fill our first container to ship back to the States.  We started out in Paris at the flea markets and could have shopped there for days but as you know travel does not always allow for days and days of endless browsing and then going back to make final purchases and decisions.  Things move so fast it can be hard to know if you have made the right choices for weeks to come.  I know I should have bought the chairs that are shown below, I am kicking myself now for doubting my first inclination.  I love these chairs and I hope that they find a wonderful home somewhere in the world.. they are so amazing! 

Aside from that I tried not to pass up anything that spoke to me.   I finally had to realize that anything is possible with the right amount of determination and dare I say money behind it.  We did end up dragging dress forms and multiple goodies back with us on the metro, yep they looked at us like we were crazy but whatever, they did that every time we spoke to them in English after starting with "bonjour".  It was amazing to buy furnishings and accessories with the idea that we would be having them here in such a short time.  I am looking forward to getting all of our goodies and setting up for our first container sale!

 

We loved all of the displays, the talent in these flea markets blows away what we see here at home.  Although I must say that we have to remember these are permanent spaces not pop ups.

This space was amazing, I wanted every book!  I love the green blue!

This big guy was so cool and calm, he just wanted to chill not shop.

These two I did not manage to leave.  They are perfect and I love them.  I will also love them when they get home to me in my living room thank you very much!

I did pass this sweet little thing up.. I was tired and did not even ask the price - a mistake I know!

Gorgeous!

This vendor said this was a painting of his mother in law.  His booth was super cool!

Arriving home from a long trip can be bitter sweet.  I love traveling and seeing amazing things but I love being at home with my family more so.  I was so glad to get back to the California sunshine and my sweeties!  I am spending the day getting up to speed, organizing and answering emails and messages!  Looking forward to sharing our buying trip with you and some of the amazing pieces and places we found!

I was excited to visit the show this year, we have not been to the last few shows and I wanted to see everyone.   My first stop as always was to see the boys at Atelier de Campagne.  Their booth was full of beautiful pieces as always.  Things were moving quickly so we stopped for a quick picture and then it was on with the show. 

A beautiful table with vintage dishes, silverware and linens.

It was so perfect to get a chance to talk with Andrea after the meal and meet her sweet little babies.  Andrea, it was beautiful and the food was fantastic, thank you for including me!   

I love a good party and this one was filled with a great group, great food and in a beautiful setting.  I think that each time we visit with another we have the opportunity to learn so much and take a bit of that experience along with us to share with others. It is also an amazing thing to meet people through blogging and be invited into their lives and homes in such a special way, who would have guessed what a small world this has become.
