Hello all, time for some Vintage Inspiration, and do I have some today! I want to share a blog with you that I've recently found through Pinterest, Fleaing France. And then I was surprised and thrilled to see that Simone had linked up with the party last week. Where else but blogland could you make these wonderful connections?
Simone is an American from NYC, who is living her dream in France. She had traveled to France regularly for years when she decided to make a permanent move to Provence. Simone is now putting her love for the Brocante to work in her business, "Fleaing France".
"Fleaing France sprang out of a love of all things French
and brocante related. As an American who traveled to France regularly for 15
years, I lived the trials and tribulations of trying to find those special
markets, brocantes and restaurants, often arriving as they were folding up
tables or pulling in chairs.
Once living here full time, I found myself answering
questions and taking those sent to me by friends and former guests to see the
treasures of my adopted home..........thus FleaingFrance came to be.
Whether
you are flying into Paris for a weekend or visiting Provence for a week, I am
happy to be of service. I offer both guided tours and customized itineraries
should you wish to explore on your own.
Please
feel free to send an email and I will answer as promptly as possible.
If
you can't make it here and are dying for something French and fabulous in the
mean time, peek in the FleaingFrance Brocante to browse, dream or bring home a
treasure!
When
you are ready to shop France like an insider....just.....
Say "Oui" to the Flea!"
Thanks so much Simone, for allowing me to showcase your blog!
Hope you'll take a few minutes to visit Simone's blog. She's in the process of redesigning her website, so look for more info and shopping tour dates soon. And if you have an hour to spend immersed in all things French, then browse her Pinterest boards. just beautiful!
And now some more inspiration from last week!
Jennifer from Town and Prairie recreated a wonderful clock
for her family room.
Revi from Revisionary Life made over an old trunk into a real beauty.
Marcy from Antique Chase made this wonderful burlap runner
and then like a pro, hand knotted it for a real French feel.
Tracie from Fishtail Cottage found a wonderful whimsical piece
to transform into her own potting bench!
and Jann from Have a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson
has me in love with her vintage sink/tub turned flower box!
Just Gorgeous, Jann!
Sharing this weekend with these party gals!
