A fabulous time....

Bonjour,

Hope that you all had a fabulous weekend. We had a very busy one which is very normal for us.


Yesterday morning was spent a 2 vide greniers where I managed to find a fabulous antique bed which I am planning on using as a day bed in the last apartment. I love the look of an old antique french bed piled high with lots of cushions.

I was on the look out for old linen as I am currently sourcing for a couple of lovely ladies in New Zealand who are going to be exhibiting at a french market day in a couple of weeks time. It is that same old story, when you are looking for something particular you can never find it.

That said, I have been fortunate to find quite a few lovely items which I am sure will look fabulous when displayed at the french market day.

Last week we stayed at the most gorgeous Chambres D'hotes which we both loved and I thought that you would like to see some photos.......

For more details on Saint Domingue , please visit their gorgeous website. Note Nabonne is about a 5 hour drive from us and is a gorgeous town with lots of places to visit including the fabulous walled city of Carcassone.

On the way home we stopped near Toulouse to meet up with Angela, a kiwi that I have met through blogging but had never seen in person.

I called her to say that we were near the village where she lives and it was unreal as I have not heard another kiwi voice for a very long time.

We are so similar and like a lot of the same things so Mr FF was a little overwhelmed by all the chatter. He calls us "budgies on speed".

Angela et moi

Angela is very talented and has lived in France for 15 years and adores vide greniers, her garage is full of lots of fabulous finds.

She is coming to visit us in a couple of weeks time and will be teaching me patine. She will also be bringing lots of "goodies" with her which we will be selling in the shop.

We were only supposed to be popping in for a coffee.....5 hours and a bottle of pink champagne later, we were back on the road headed for home.

This week I am in the process of updating fabulouslyfrench, my online shop so keep your eyes out for some great items.

I will also be showing you some photos of the Fabulously French showroom.

Today I am waxing an antique armoire which is going to display the fabulous Petit Coterie burlap cushions that I have ordered from the lovely Michelle along with some lovely vintage french linen.

I have also been tagged by the lovely Maryanne at Beadboardcountry so will be sharing 7 things about moi later in the week......

A demain et bon courage,
