it seems fall is coming , even if it is still warm here in Provence.
We can see and feel Fall is here
Even in my shop you can see it
Funny ceramics with a kenzo 's cushion on the back and a Lelievre's rug

Paislay with embroidery of pearl , I love it , for price , contact me
Rubelli's fabric ..it is a fall fabric
I received a message from Mads few weeks ago , asking me for some help to find a fabric for curtains for her dining room .
She wrote that she " wanted to encorporate orane more into the room" and "something more bold and modern maybe".
Coco and Kelley have already given her some ideas
Well Here are some fabrics ideas I have ,I hope it will help
The picture of the dinig room , the walls are blue
A sahco fabric , a kind of Ikat inspitration . it is not the right color , you can see the orange at the left
Canovas fabric . Just a little bit of orange
Elitis fabric , I love this one and the next one of the same company
It could be nice also to use it on the chairs
My favorite 2 ones are here :
This one for me is perfect , modern , orange and blue like the walls ....perfect choice
Lelievre 's fabric.
Tomorrow, I will send more ideas ...
If you have more ideas may be you can share them
I hate the day after we come back from antiques fair ...
Well , You have souvenirs but you are exhausted and you have to clean and set up once again in your shop ..
Here are some souvenirs of the fair
Once again , my work brings me far away from you ..
Today I'm setting up my stand in the 1st antiques fair in Marseilles.
If some of you are around Marseilles this weekend and until monday .
You can come , I have free tickets so just send me a message or ask for me at the entrance : M . Aussandon
This ad sums up a little bit about me , I'm an antiques dealer and in the right corner you see the wheel of the Rotary and I'm also a member of the rotary club ( I will write longer about this membership in a next post) .
In life , I 'm very sensitive to the charm of little details : a smile , a world , a gesture ..
For home , it is the same I'm very sensitive to the charm of small details in antiques decoration and architecture
detail of a mirror in Avignon , I think this is the face of the owner
An heart , a drawer given for a wedding's present
a foot of an empire drawer ...
Inlaid on box
Faces of the owners on the facade in Marseilles
Angel on a facade in Nice
We have to pay attentions, to enjoy and to look at everything we are surrounded with

On Friday 's morning , we left Marseilles to go to Gap ( 200 km far away) .
We went to see an estate and Guess what I found , in the middle of nowhere in a kind of XVIII th century barn , wonderful treasures
After a long driving in the landscape
I found wonderful antiques
A pair of Provencal bergere from the XIX th century
A provencal painting
