TENDER MOMENTS IN BLUSHING PINK

All in a lazy Sunday morning's work shopping on Etsy! Here is a little treasury of some of my French inspired favourites below. If something catches your eye click on this link to get them from your screen into your hand! Happy shopping! x

BONJOUR SUNDAY MARKETS!

My weekend was all geared up towards my eagerly anticipated Sunday, holy day of French markets! Some of the brocanteurs know me so well now they tip me off on the better markets to go to, yesterday's tip was the "Marches aux Puces" in Ahetze. All I can say is merci les brocanteurs! The market was an even mix of specialised antiques meets shabby chic flea market.

An elderly brocanteur bartered with a customer as her crisp white finely embroidered French linens danced in the breeze. Children rocked back and forth on antique carousel horses as their distracted mamams tried the vintage Hermes bags and Chanel scarves on for size.

 The market rambled through the ambient winding streets of Ahetze. Egg-shell blue shutters framed sash windows dressed in antique lace, creating a perfect backdrop for the tea bone china and Victorian serving plates.

Pre-loved teddy bears and limb-less dolls lay desolate and forgotten as antique pocket watches ticked on regardless.

3 happy hours and 3 heaving bags laden later, I rewarded myself with a chocolait chaud and a platter of mini macaroons before the long drive home. All new vintage accessories will be listed in Dandelion Daydreamer Vintage this week :)

MONDAY BLUES...ESCAPE TO FRANCE!

Oh Monday, why do you always have to roll around so quickly! I spotted these beautiful pics Chelsea Victoria by and thought I'd give us all a little lift this morning. I hope you all had a great weekend...here's to a quick working week ;)
