La Belle Brocante (the Beautiful Bric-a-Brac) is a dream in progress.  Craving to open a space of my own to share my creations, network with other Mom's, and give back to my community has always been my goal.  While opening a boutique will have to wait for now, I have decided to "take it on the road" so to speak , and take it to the internet.  

Crafting and creating are in my blood, sewing doll's clothes, looming potholders, creating bouquets of tissue flowers, and decoupaging jewelry boxes.   I can still remember my Mamy teaching me to knit on the steps of her home in Audes, a small village in France.  And my Grammy was a seamstress, always making a new set of mittens and hat for winter, or a dress for Easter.  I am much happier working with my hands than anything else...so here I am. 

Part of La Belle Brocante was offering items that couldn't be found anywhere else.  To offer items that were created by hand and promoted "living green."  Slowly I realized that some everyday items could be upcycled and recycled into other usable items.  In retrospect, doing something I had been doing all my life! 

I hope you you enjoy my product line!  Remember, everthing listed is upcycled from something else, and I always appreciate feedback and suggestions.  Donations of unwanted items are always appreciated!

Every purchase made gives a portion back to find a cure for Juvenile Diabetes.  This is done in my son's honor, Christopher, who has had Juvenile Diabetes since he was 4...he is now 13 years old.   

Merci Beaucoup!
