Your sign simply means "Antiques/Consignment Shop" even though a brocante is a friendlier place than a snooty type of antiques store. For info, 20 is "vingt"--so pretty close! I actually like your version better, so I say keep it! As for the Baccarats--I have no clue! I'll email you a photo.

I don't even particularly care if I buy or not, (I really cannot fit one more piece of anything into my house anyway!). It is just the fun of hunting. <br /><br />Your weekend was more glamourous than mine - because while you were perusing these treasures, I was swinging a sledge hammer to knock down our very tragic shed to make more room for the garden. <br /><br />The recipe book looks fascinating! Is Remi going to attempt the pastry bird?

That chair with the leopard print is wonderful but really chintz? And I would have jumped all over that litho print and those scones. Probably just as well I wasn’t antiquing with you had I brought home one more chair the husband would have hit the ceiling….I have a chair thing…. ;)Acquired Objectshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065566296202199461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-15744712036848882802011-10-17T01:37:36.291+02:002011-10-17T01:37:36.291+02:00Thank you for the virtual shopping trip!Thank you for the virtual shopping trip!Judith Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079409605010969088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-84166783916142534102011-10-16T21:49:33.996+02:002011-10-16T21:49:33.996+02:00And yes, it does indeed suck to go all they way ou...And yes, it does indeed suck to go all they way out there (well, for us it is far) only to find them closed.

But I truly am tempted to make an entire post on the photos--they look so disgusting that I can't imagine that the book was success...? The pastries are all burnt! And we just came back from a monster lunch so I do believe that soup is in order for dinner!<br /><br />Tish, that far away chair must have wreaked havoc on your wrists! But who am I to say? My current chair is art deco with a lovely patina in the leather but the seat droops below the wooden structure, entirely cutting off the circulation in my legs. Ow. Yes, the weather is beyond magical--we had the apero and coffee outside today! In-sane.<br /><br />Elizabeth, you must have a larger home than we do! :) Truly now it is a game of "if we get this than we would have to get rid of that". Sigh. Doesn't take the fun out of it though!<br /><br />I am wondering if you two Parisiennnes go to the Porte de Vanves flea on the weekends--we bought our whole home there!Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-76269450333857436172011-10-16T13:27:27.916+02:002011-10-16T13:27:27.916+02:00This is my kind of day.

I take great delight in mooching around a Dépôt-Vente and can be easily tempted by a piece I love, regardless of having the right space for it or not. Someone recently referred to my decorating style as quirky! I definitely would have bought the rosewood chairs.

I'm afraid I would buy something "just because." Actually for many years I had a beautiful chair for my desk with arms that, because they would not slip under my desk, forced me to stretch my arms to type. It took me years to reconcile myself to myself to reality. Now it sits next to my desk and I have a functional, and comfortable chair that makes writing less of a struggle -- the physicial part, not the mental (as you no doubt know).<br /><br />I trust it's as beautiful in your part of the world as it is in mine.<br /><br />xo,<br />TishTish Jetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865177127050648489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-36845642279694702782011-10-16T12:41:46.490+02:002011-10-16T12:41:46.490+02:00There is nothing quite like rummaging through a De...There is nothing quite like rummaging through a Depot-Vente, an activity I enjoy at the weekend or any time really. I love all the things you have photographed. But your latest purchase sent me scurrying to the bookshelves, we have an inherited copy of modern French Culinary Art published by Rene Kramer, a very similar book to yours with similar photographs but I love all the menu cards and notes left in it by the previous owner, MG's Father.<br />Hope you have a lovely Sunday and Monsieur le Chef will be inspired to rustle up something wonderful.<br />XDashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329090600374787029noreply@blogger.com
