New day of chine ...(antiquing)

The day was going up . It was 7a.m and I was getting at the abbaye

A Brocante was taking place there ....

what am I going to find ??

I open the old trunk ( I love old trunk)

What was in them ?

provencal coverbeds

the brocante was in the middle of nowhere

in the middle of Nature

I prefer little things

little santons

I couldn't stop buying and buying

I had to buy little embroired linen with numbers on it to help me to count . This set of numbers is lovely. I guess it was from an old school ...As i couldn't stop buying, I was not abble to share everything with you but I have surprises for you

Bon week end

Souvenirs of voyage ...

Everyday, my job is a new destination ( a voyage )

A trip to others visions

a trip to others centuries

a trip to others feelings

This morning, in an old trunk I found a beautiful collection of indian terracotta figures from the XIX th century .
they were wrapped in an old asiatic embroidered silk

This find was a real trip , a feast for the eyes .

Love this weird figure

I can imagine the poeple who bring them back at the begining of th XXth century ..

Mon métier est chaque jour un nouveau voyage

un voyage vers d'autres visions, d'autres siècles , d'autres sensations.
Ce matin, au hasard de mes découvertes, dans une vieille malle j'ai trouvé une collection de vieux " santons" d'Inde.Ils étaient soigneusement enveloppés dans une très belle soie brodée asiatique
je peux facilement imaginer leurs anciens propriétaires , les aventuriers qui les ont ramenés au début du XXe siècle.

 

..."Mais les vrais voyageurs sont ceux-là seuls qui partent
Pour partir; coeurs légers, semblables aux ballons,
De leur fatalité jamais ils ne s'écartent,
Et, sans savoir pourquoi, disent toujours: Allons!"...

extrait Le voyage de Charles Baudelaire

Salon Maison et objets, braderie of Lille but what else ??

In France , this week end is pretty busy if you are an interior decorator you may be in Paris in The salon Maison et Objets .
If you are an antiques dealer you may be in Lille ( north of France) to " chiner " in the famous Braderie of Lille.
I think I'm almost both of that , I try to be an antiques dealer and to be an interior decorator but I choosed to stay in Provence, to enjoy the last days of summer , to go to the flowers market , to think about my own trends ...

My trend and my "needs " : purple flowers

What are you doing this week end ?? 

 

Greeen and purple ...

Purple is one of my favorite colors , to dress and to decorate ..

Green is not at all my favorite one , but it mixes perfectly with purple ...so
