The provencal line-up encouraging my addiction, tempting me to see my home as a warehouse. These Confit Pots use to be seen often, stacks of them, though as time would have it they are becoming harder to find, newer ones are still around, but old beauties like these?
Most common are yellow ones, then green, then white and last blue ones. Blue and white confit pots were often in upperclass homes.
I found a white one, and well yeah it came home with me, though were to put it?
There is a shop that is set up in an 1700s French country village-home that I adore. The home alone is one of my favorites, the old doors, hardware, kitchen that hasn't been altered, old tiles, beams... if it were for sale and not in the middle of nowhere I would want it.
Alas.
The shop has a mixture of old and new things. The new things are well chosen, blending well with the antique furniture that they have collected. There was a chandelier that was made with antique papers and imitation rosary beads. Clever!
Lately, I haven't been putting much up in my shop as I have been Sending Photos directly to those of you who have been buying from me for years. As I usually have most of you in mind, it is easier to send a Photo while at the fairs and say, "Do you like this?"
If you would like to be part of the "sending photos from the brocante to you directly group" let me know.
Of course since I am on French time, the photos are going to come before the crack of dawn your time. But if the Brocante Bug has bitten you does that matter?
I bought this urn for a friend... that patine is glorious.
This type of urn is called a pompadour...
Oh you know Madame de Pompadour
France, especially Provence, has eye candy galore. If you are an artist, painter, cook, author, poet, seamstress, dancer, lover, gardener, builder, collector, photographer... or someone who loves beauty. France will take your heart and soul, tie them up with inspiration, leaving you forever indebted to its call.
All in a day.
Just the way it should be.
Beauty! Simply lovely and there for the admiring, inspiration and happiness.
