~ Elly May Clampett Would Be Jealous ~

Happy Monday!  I had a great Friday night at the auction.  Elly May Clampett would have been jealous of my car full of treasures ~ with two French wire atageres tied on top.

I took a few new pieces to the shoppe at DuPre's Antique Market today.  I think Rachel would approve of this Florentine chest.

This French butler's serving table is really different.

Some other great finds . . .

It was fun to redecorate after the holidays.

This chinoiserie sideboard is very happy with all the pink we added to the shoppe today.

Have a wonderful week!

P.S.  I was shocked when I won this pair of old mechanical bears.  They were so cute, I had to bid.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!  I've been busy getting ready for Spring at the store.  (I know, we just had the first day of Winter!)  When I found a great display piece at an auction last month, I had to have it.  Brooke Giannetti's office was my inspiration for a transformation.

So, here's what I've been up to lately:

  

My sample boards

I can't wait to get this piece moved to the store and assembled. 

And, since it's so hard to find pretty painted French pieces, I've been painting them, too. 

  

  

This china cabinet is Paris Grey and white, and the buffet is Duck Egg and Old White.

  

Coco likes it.

Okay, I wasn't really channeling Matisse ~ I was channeling my friend Linda Luce, the goddess of painted furniture.  Linda sells at the Nashville Flea Market and just started a new blog ~ Simply Painted.  Linda ~ How did I do?

  I'm heading out to a country auction soon where I'm sure lots of treasures await.

  

Have a wonderful day!

Joyeux Noël en Provence

Guess where I've been this month?

I wish it was Provence!! But for a homebody like me, it's the next best thing. Paris in Georgia?! Douceur de France is a wonderful bakery and cafe just around the corner from DuPre's Antique Market in Marietta. 

And this lovely landscape is just outside of Atlanta on the way to Highlands, North Carolina ~ where I made a fun day trip with the girls a few weeks ago.

If you are craving a shopping spree in Paris but just can't get away, why not visit me at DuPre's and scoot around to corner to Douceur de France for some yummy treats?



I'm really excited for all the pretties of the holidays this year!

Bonne nuit.

~ Belgian Creme Puffs ~

Yea!  I moved my booth at DuPre's Antique Market this weekend.  Moving's hard, but I love the space and all the new goodies.  Here's a peek.

I'm limping to the kitchen now for a treat ~ Belgian creme puffs.

Have a wonderful week!
