Emily has been scouring the flea markets of Paris and is beginning to stock the brocante at last. There are more goodies to add, and no doubt rearranging and more rearranging, but you can at least take a peek at what's going on in there:
Double left click the pics for an 'expanded' view.
I've got lots more beautiful pieces from clever blogger friends to go into the brocante and the upstairs apartment so there are lots of credits to come but for these pictures there are just two 'blog mates' to note
Rosanna: strawberry tray and sewing box
Jody: hydrangeas (Jody's back blogging again - happy days!)
A credit must also go to Lidi Stroud, the picnic basket is one of her pieces. Take a look at her website here.
Everything else is either bought and painted/aged by me (jug and basin stand yet to get the 'treatment') or made by me.
If you don't know about Emily and her 'new' Parisian brocante you can access her story here or go to the top of this page and click on the title "How Emily Came To Own a Parisian Brocante". Settle in with a coffee and let me entertain you...

Norma all the talent in the world of miniature just has me in awe. Looking at the pictures, one would never know they are miniature. I can't begin to imagine the care, time and patience that goes into each individual piece. So much to admire. I love how every little detail is put into place.

Emily has certainly been busy! I love the little angels and the shop is filling up nicely.
I just love the angels!Such a beautiful little Brocante!!
It's been a while that I am here :):) and I wonder why I didn't visit sooner since your houses are always so enchanting :). There are some really pretty antiques in the brocante :)

At this stage I always itchy hands :-)
I love to fix things, patiently put together over time, with the more precise idea of a project ...
It all seems wonderful and very promising: Emily will have a lot to do!

Lovely pieces from lovely friends.
I have a couple of Lidi's pieces and they are gorgeous.
The bed in the corner is my favourite piece.
Beautiful! Just Beautiful! I LOVE all the details.... and I love seeing the pitcher you have NOT yet given the "treatment"! It really stands out, and gives a sense of how much atmosphere you create! I really enjoyed Emily's story, and I'm happy to see her"Brocante"!
We have added many new designs that we are very excited about! Thank you, as always, for following our blog and the kind comments you leave. Your newest pieces are wonderful!

Great selection of goodies for the brocante - how is Emily furnishing her own private apartments I wonder vbg? I love this project, and am pleased that Emily was able to get another metal bed to replace her great aunt's one.
Hugs, Sandra
