I will add new antiques in my boutique on line
twice a week :
tuesday and friday at 7. 30 ( french hour)
AU fait, what do you think of my new banner :
the one on my blog ,
and the one on my boutique
I've already written about secrets d'intérieurs , a book of Michele Lalande
Now it is quite an old book, and some new books are on the bookshelves but I still love this one, inside you have beautiful pics.
By looking at them this afternoon , I realised that I have a lot of antiques (soon or yet in my boutique) that are featuring in this book
XVIII th century coins diplayed on an old table
By checking my boutique you will find a lot of pieces to create your own " secrets d'intérieurs"
I want to thank you all for having supported me , for having written special note about me and my new adventure
MERCI MERCI MERCI
I want to announce you that for the first client of my boutique online , there will have a little surprise in his or her parcel
(I hope I will have my client tonight !!!!)
Sometimes you ask me where my treasures come from , most of the part come from - what we call it in french : adresse - ( entire real estate)
I buy the entire house so I buy linen, old curtains, paintings , drawers, chandeliers ....
The last month I bought the interior of a bastide ( a small provencal castle) and the interior of a convent so I can tell you my trunks are full , I just need time
I've always had parties when I open a new business , when I buy a new car , when I meet new friends ....
I think I like to celebrate because life is too short
so for the grand opening of the boutique tomorrow at 7.30 I want to see you all with your party dresses , your hats or swinsuits ...whatever you want for a big virtual party
we will have champagne

We will have some cake chairs perfect for the upholsterer's daughter

so leave a comment and tell me what would you wear , what would you drink , with who you would come ( you fiancé , your dog , your goldfish ....)
And after the party, We will have an antiques hunting tour
I'm working on for the grand opening
It is coming

I hope to be abble to announce the grand opening of the boutique of the french curiosités , this week .
You will be invited and we will have a celebration.
I always have champagne and fun when I do something new ..so why not for this grand opening I hope to see you
I want you to wear a nice dress or suit ....
Des mots rien que des mots
Il s'agit d'un lot de papiers anciens , certains XVII que j'ai acheté , vous lisez ( quand vous le pouvez ) ces lettres et vous êtes touchée .
Je fus specialement touchée par une lettre écrite par une jeune fill à ses parents en 1859 où elle leur confesse tout son amour mais d'une manière incroyable , si je pouvais je partagerais chacun de ses mots
Certaines de ces lettres seront bientot en vente dans ma eboutique
je vais offrir celle de la jeune fille à mes parents
Words only words.
It is a lot of old papers I bought , some are from XVII th century. You read ( when you can and you are touched. I was particularly touched by a letter written by a daughter to her parents in 1859 , in which she tells them how much loves them , she cares for them but her way to tell them that is incredible. If I could , I would tell you every single word of her letter .
Some of this letter will be in sale in my eboutique soon.
I'm going to frame the daughter's letter and to offer it to my parents
I love these old letters with number on them
J'ai toujours été une lectrice d'art et décoration . Pour moi , c'est un vrai magazine de décoration où l'on peut voir des vrais maisons !!
Alors quel bonheur quand je vois dans le supplément Méditerranée , mon adresse comme coup de coeur ...( en fait , je savais que j'allais être présente puisque j'avais été interviewée )...mais quand même cela fait toujours plaisir.
Art c'est ma partie antiquités et décoration c'est la partie tapissier en meubles décoration. Alors pour moi il n'y a pas un magazine qui me représente le mieux et en plus c'est le plus ancien magazine de déco
quelques chiffres:
Aujourd'hui Art et décoration est toujours le leader sur le marché des magazines art de vivre et le premier magazine français à l'exportation (80 pays )
1897 Création d’Art & Décoration par les Editions Lévy.
1910 Charles Massin rachète la maison d’édition et lui donne son nom. Le fonds Massin est constitué de livres écrits par des spécialistes, pour le grand public, à des prix accessibles.
1948 Innovation majeure : Art & Décoration crée le reportage chez les particuliers.
1973 Art & Décoration passe d’un tirage de 1 500 exemplaires à 300 000 exemplaires
I've always been a reader of art et décoration magazine. For me , it is a real decoration magazine, with real homes inside .
So I'm very happy , when I read in the "Mediterranée section" my adress , well I knew it indeed I've been interviewed but anyway it is always a pleasure to read your own address.
Art is my antiques part and decoration is my upholstery and design part. So for me , there is no other magazine that represents my boutique than Art et décoration and moreover is the oldest french decoration magazine , it was created in 1897
some information:
Art et décoration magazine is still the leader in the "art de vivre magazines world " and the 1st exported french magazine ( 80 countries)
Have a wonderful week end
I started my blog thanks to a special meeting and somebody became my fairy godblogger : Corey
She gave me strenght to start, she gave and gives me inspiration ,( I know I'm not the only one)
Now , I'm blogging and she started a new adventure: an antiques shop online and now I'm wondering. I already have an ebay boutique. I have a show room , I go to fairs and shows . I buy treasures (small and big ) almost everyday.So why not opening my boutique to the world ( the world of bloggers ).
It is a lot of work but it is a new challenge and I'm already writing and taking pictures for my blog so ...
I would sell small french goodies , charming french antiques , most of them will be small ..I will also sell french new linen with old style
You are a lot asking for special pieces , so now you will see a lot of my finds in my "eboutique ". I would try to open it next week.
Corey opened me the way but I can see all over the blogosphere, bloggers open their boutique online.
Around me ,Corey is not the only one actually, my " little fiancé " has also opened a boutique online but not all in the antiques business ...
He opened his reading glasses boutique online few months ago and it was only in french and now it is in english , it is now all finished but you can have a look of what it is about , it is not at all about beauty , treasures...It is about comfort. The common point is internet : these glasses help you in your blogging life and internet life . An guess what he also has a blog .
Some bloggers ask me about a pic of my little fiancé but you will not see it in his site ...
Today is Corey's birthday, at the begining I didn't think about writing this post on purpose but ...
Joyeux anniversaire ma marraine
J'ai commencé à blogger grâce à Corey , elle m'a donné la force et l'inspiration.Aujour'dhui elle s'est lancée dans une nouvelle aventure : une boutique d'antiquités online .
J'ai déjà un show room , une boutique ebay , je fais des foires et salons . j'achète des antiquits quasiment tous les jours ( des petites et des grosses) . DOnc pourquoi ne pas ouvrir ma boutique au monde.
Je vendrais des petits objets de curiosités, des objets charmants ( à mon goût) , et aussi du linge neuf mais traditionel.
Autour de moi, Corey n'est pas la seule à avoir ouvert son commerce en ligne , mon chéri s'est lui aussi lancé dans l'aventure : sa boutique online de lunettes loupes révolutionnaires .
Ces lunettes sont parfaites pour "blogger " et être sur l'ordinateur ...
