Back in the UK!

Got back to the UK very late last night, and have started working my way through all the boxes and bags full of lovely French brocantes treasures which I brought back from our home in Bourgogne.

I will try and list as much as possible over the next 4 or 5 weeks before we go back to France for a few weeks. I hate to mention the C word, but Christmas always comes round much more quickly than you'd think and international shipping can take a while, so if you are planning to gift somebody with some beautiful vintage French treasures for Christmas, it is important to get started sooner rather than later.

Slow start today, because I am so busy unpacking. Arrghh, I will be unpacking for days!

Cute little vintage French pen nib box ( with 6 nibs ) for your tiny tins/boxes collection - SOLD


Fabulous NOS, new old stock, vintage French woven tape trim with original label, never unwrapped, a full 25metres ( approx. 27.5 yards ) - SOLD


Another set of 4 tiny vintage French tins, this time pharmacy/apothecary tins for an assortment of ailments :-) -


and a really beautiful vintage French rosary with light sky blue faceted bicone glass beads and a very unusual elegant and stylish cross. I think from the 1960s
