Results of our shopping trip...

{Fabulously French - new stock just in}

As you may have guessed from last nights post, I was a wee bit tired. It was a long but very productive day. My friend the Divine Ms D and I had a wonderful day doing what girls do best, shop!

Unfortunately we were not shopping for ourselves but rather sourcing for our respective shops.

That said, I did find a gorgeous mirror which I am planning on hanging in the stairwell of Maison No. 20, just do not tell Mr FF as he is not aware of this yet and I am hoping to break the news to him tonight, whilst he is tucking into his dinner and favourite dessert :-)

The purpose of our trip was to meet with suppliers and then order some items, expecting them to be delivered in the days to come.

Imagine our delight when we were told that we could take the items with us.....just wish that we had come with Mr FF and his trailer as the Divine Miss D has a smallish car which we crammed with box after box, merci to French men who help foreign distressed laddies who are not good at loading cars with boxes!

So here are some photos of some the items that I bought yesterday.....

This not only looks fabulous but is functional and is used to open your bottles of wine. I love the mixture of the wood and forged metal and plan to put one in our new kitchen at Maison No.20.

I liked these Marie Antoinette inspired bathroom sets and think that they would make a fun and inexpensive gift at only 10 euros for the set.

I liked these table cloths and thought that they were perfect for Easter. These are 10 euros each and the material is of high quality.

Here is a photo of the table cloth in Apartment deux.......

These are so cute and so practical as the teapot holds enough tea for one and sits on top of the cup. Saves making a big pot of tea and takes up less room on your breakfast tray........

Here you can set the tea set in the background and in the front, an egg holder. Again perfect for Easter and it would make a great gift combined with the table cloth.

I am off to start preparing Mr FF's dinner! Will be back tomorrow with details of a very ununusal grain sack that I found recently.....

A demain,
