I love this tin which my Mother has given me, the colours are so beautiful and the design, gorgeous.
Hello everyone! I have been a bit quiet on the blogging front. I am not borred with it already, far from it! My parents are visiting for a couple of weeks and I naturally wish to spend some time with them, so blogging has taken a bit of a back seat for now. However, I will still be checking my comments from time to time so please leave one if you wish as it will get read.
I look forward to catching up with your lovely blogs very soon! :0)
My Mother arrived with a selection of French treasures for me! She knows that I love vintage things. This a selection of what she brought over with her....It was wonderful, bag after bag of beautiful things, it was as if a vintage stall had turned up at my house!
A selection of lace collars and beneath them, a beautiful roses & ribbons table runner that my Grandmother Gabrielle & My Aunt Suzy made together around 50 years ago.
I admire the work that went in to making these! What a pity no one really bothers doing that with their linen anymore. Well, there might be handful out there but it is a minority.
Pure silk thread, I love the sheen and feel of it.
Countless amounts of buttons, a lot of them glass.
On Sunday I did another boot fair as we still have so much to get rid of. Whilst I was there, I had to look around for some must haves...
I love this little vintage child's beret and little red shoes

Beneath the shoes and Beret is one of my favourite rugs. It is a Capel Rug bought from the The Braided Rug Company and looks perfect for a cottage or country look
Vintage crochet hooks.

Coronet Ware plate bought for 50p Laura Ashley cushion cover bought for 75p
I love these irish linen pansies handkerchieves, so pretty!
The box that the handkerchieves come in
Another Ladybird book to add to my collection!
This vase was on the stall behind mine, I kept looking at it and as I was having my sandwich in the car I decided it finally was a must have.

Pretty metal sign, which will do in my work room
Lloyd Loom linen basket in need of a fresh coat of paint.
It's lovely to have such glorious weather for a change, we do get a lot of rain in Somerset...
I am really enjoying it. The apple trees are about to blossom and the Lily of the Valleys will be making an appearance soon. I so look forward to experiencing their heavenly scent again.
A bientôt!

looks like you have been busy....i love love the glass buttons your mom brought you...what a sweet mom you have!!! Your images are lovely.. makes me want to get out and start hunting for treasures....
Isabelle,
Another wonderful post. I so enjoy hearing from you. I happened to be inside because it has been downpouring most of the day. It was so bad we decided to close. I'm beening bad and blogging instead of working...my guilty pleasure. I was so thrilled to see you had just posted 10 min. ago. Love all the things you got from your Mom and the boot sale. Isn't it great that one mans trash is another mans treasure as they say.
Don't get down because it rains so much...here in the Summer it never rains enough and the gardens all dry up...In England you have such great lush gardens. My favorite customers are the English who come out with their umbrellas and spend hours shopping in the rain....nothing's going to stop them and they never once complain. They're the REAL DEAL!!!
Take care,
Carole
What BEAUTIFUL treasures! The linens are all so feminine and fabulous. And I think you made the right decision purchasing that gorgeous vase. =) Have a wonderful time with your parents!
What a post full of gorgeousness... Love all the precious gifts your mom brought you.
What sticks out is the ladybird book. I'm not sure if you ever read on my blog, but I am originally maltese, and when we where kids, thats all we read... ladybird books. My mom still has a few of them around too.
Fabulous treasures!
I love the Irish Linen Pansies...and your pretty plate.
Hope you enjoy your time with your parents!
;-)

Hi Isabelle,
I hope you have a wonderful visit with your parents...I love all the treasures your Mom brought you....and you did well at the boot sale too! Talk to you soon!
Be well, Laura
What a great mother! French fancies always seem so delicately delectable...and the car boot stuff makes me sicken for the early morning exciting expectation of vintage surprise...Have got too many arty deadlines at the moment though to purchase or sell any more 'Carboutier' chic, so I'm just remaining jelous!

Lovely finds.
And I wish my Mum bought goodies like that whenever she visited!
Deb x
What wonderful finds! And how beautifully you display and photo them. You must have a ball! I do so enjoy your blog. Just lovely--these pictures fill my eyes, which is the biggest and best compliment I can give.
Whoa! This blog is great. Where has it been all my life!?!?

Hi Isabelle! I'm catching up with everyone who's shown an interest in the bloggers afternoon tea! How about sometime in the second half of June? Maybe you could leave a comment over at mine, it will come through to my email first and then I can get back to everyone. Let me know what suits you - weekdays? weekends? location?
Thanks! Have a good weekend!
