The latest batch of ruffles is particularly fetching.
Lots of tea-stained tones.
Lots of rag paper.
Decal edges.
Drool water marks.
I'm sorry there haven't been a lot of new offerings on Etsy lately. The Brocante staff (of one) is stretched very thin right now, paddling desperately to keep up. Soon, I keep saying. New listings, soon. Lovely velum pieces, soon. New artworks, soon. 1700s documents with stunning cachets, soon.
Soon.

A few more antique hand-tinted hummingbird plates for sale soon ... let me know if I should reserve one for you.

Perhaps it's because I grew up reading Asterix comics.
I have a real soft spot for wild boar.
I have my beautiful baby marcassin in the living room.
My tiny but treasured collection of glass buttons with wild boar heads.
And now, a 1700s engraving of le sanglier d'Afrique.
Such a dashing fellow he is.
What is your soft spot?

A handful of handles.
Vintage and antique optometrist trial lenses.
Diminutive design flourishes from Britain and the United States.

When in doubt, choose Paris.

A beautiful little watch fob intaglio inherited from my grand-mère.
She lived an unassuming life.
I like to imagine she held a few secrets close to her heart.

Wishing you smooches.
Brocante treasures.
And love.

I cannot resist the siren call of faceted gemstones from far-flung lands.
African opal.
Cut in India.
Paired with lacy French medals.
Perfection.
xoxo
