Some little things I want to share from my ballade " chiner en Provence "
I pushed the door and here is what I've found
a red old counter from a " boulangerie , it has marble on the top of it ! it is great ( sorry for the picture) It is already set up in my space in the Poterie Ravel
an advertising enameled bistrot table ...i love it
old gloves moulds
Well I bought a lot of industrial antiques...
but I also loved this king in the garden
a king in the garden
some chairs
Tomorrow , I will be again on the routes of Provence to " chiner " with 2 clients we will go to Aix en Provence , Marseilles , Lubéron ...
This time , we will look for victorian antiques ...Hope I will be back with others things to share...
You, what would you bring back From France ? Industrial antiques , XVIII th century original pieces , paintings , linens ....
Bonjour Melanie! How wonderful the pieces are that you have gotten for your shop! The marble topped piece is wonderful... I love the red and I'll bet the marble is beautiful. And the darling advertising piece is just the cutest! The deep blue is very desirable. But my favorite is the wonderful statue of the king! That is one handsome garden piece, isn't it?! As for what to bring home from France.... aren't you leaving out all of that fantastic cheese (!!!) and all of those WONDERFUL pastries? OOooohhh la la!
Bisous Melanie!

Bonjour Melanie!
Thank you for your comment on my blog! I love to meet new people, and I like your blog very much!
I loved the bistro table and the king statue looks so grand in the garden!
I'd love to visit France someday!

Thank you so much for leaving a comment at my blog, as now I have found yours. A lovely place to visit! I would want to bring back everything as we don't have much to find here in Australia so I'd be so overwhelmed I'd want it all. That bench in the first photo is irresistable! I also love that wire basket in the same photo with the King, that caught my eye!
Warmest regards
Vickie...

Hi Melanie,
Thank you for visiting my blog. How lucky for you to be living in Provence. I absolutely love it there. I live for three years in Paris and loved to travel south in the spring. My family and I are thinking of getting a house there next summer. I've been looking into it online. Love your site - I'll be checking back!
