LE PETIT CABINET DE CURIOSITES

Back to work

What most of the poeple do on sunday ?

What do you do on sunday ?

During 3 months ( Mathis' birth) I have been looking at Mathis , loking every detail . Each day, I'm going back to reality . I'm going back to work.

Today , I had my first brocante since I have given birth to Mathis

I missed him during the day but it was great to come back to my " old world "

and I found the most romantic , the rarest antique you could imagine

an XVIII th century  big sedan chair ...it is a rare jewellry box with 2 shelves in it
May be soon in my boutique

 

antique blue again and the elegance of the XVIII th century

beautiful antique blue of a silk dress from a XVIII th century painting

I love how poeple were elegant and romantic in the XVIII th century

look at this detail ,this lady has the portrait of her lover ( husband) on her bracelet

fresh flowers or still life ?

What do you prefer a bouquet of fresh roses or a still life ?

Roses by a famous provencal painter: Van den Bussche

It is all about time : patina

I love how years leave a touch of something on wood , paintings, houses ....

I love patina ...

old provencal tiles

old terracotta with a beautiful patina

Virgin ... she has seen so many things , she has heard so many stories

bottle of wine with patine waiting for a party

french signs with vintage touch

these french signs are in my boutique ...

 

 

 

snow

last night , it snowed in Provence.

When I woke up very early ( thanks to Mathis ) that is what I saw

Beautiful white provence

obsession

These last months , I was more obsessed by baby , nursery , toys ...

than brocante , antiques , upholstery and fabrics but I'm going back to reality

And january means new collections, means Maison et objets , Paris déco off

I have the pleasure to be invited by Pierre Frey to see their new collection, I don't know if I would be abble to go but I surely want because on the card I can see some fabrics I would love to use , I can see a pink suzani pattern ...

my antique shop

I love to imagine how my shop would have looked 100 years ago

better late than never

Best wishes for this new year
