BROCANTE

Coming into the spring season makes me envious of those who pass by the Eiffel Tower every day, or get to enjoy the famous flea markets of Ole Paris. So, Starting Wednesday May 4th through the 10th, we have decided to bring the streets of Paris to Brentwood, Tn. All of our furniture is on sale Brocante style!

(Brocante: Paris flea market where haggling is accepted)

Customer. Client. Friend.

This week my role as shopkeeper has been a very personal one. I can't help but think of this quote by Mark Twain which has been weighing heavy on my heart. Who would have known that in such a short amount of time so many frequent faces would become more than customers.



How wonderful it is to have such purpose driven clients.

Merci.

ALL THE BUZZ

Trů Bee local honey fresh from the farm. You know what they say, a teaspoon a day keeps the allergies away.



Beekeepers, Laura and her husband Jeff from Arrington, take pride in their "free range" bees. Because they let their bees roam, they are healthier and so is the honey, and because they are LOCAL, we consider them our new local artists. After all, beekeeping is an art..right?

Three ways to add a personal approach to decorating

Up-cycled. Faded. Recycled.



Ready to tear away from the cookie cutter modern look or the more traditional style? If it's tattered a little here and torn a little there, your look may just be faded elegance.



Made from an old french bushel basket, this light fixture was once a necessity for farmers, now it's what we consider recycled. In essence we are putting a contemporary spin on a country style.



This hand-carved English chair, recovered with a cotton Dash & Albert rug, is the perfect example of Up-cycling. Take something old and add a touch of new.

Whatever your style, allow your home to reflect your own interests and express your personality.

I have been tagged by my fellow shopkeeper friend, Paige from Hodgepodge.(My favorite little go-to store in Clarksville,TN.)So, apparently I am suppose to share 7 facts about myself that you might find interesting, and some famous fellow has named this venture a "meme".

1. My addiction to junking doesn't stop with funky things, I also require a steady diet of Dark Chocolate.


2. Unlike my friend Paige, I would be more likely to reschedule a dentist appointment than to miss my standing appointment for a massage. After all, haulin' and luggin' for this shopkeeper, really takes it's toll.



3. Green is my favorite color. Chippy cupboards, vintage wallpaper, old glassware, and textiles..if it's green its my weakness.



4. I love to garden. My favorite flowers to grow are my big blue mop hydrangeas. Although, I couldn't possibly have a garden without variety.



5. I'm an English Home Magazine junkie. I love to pile up in the bed with all my volumes and read the estate ads. As boring as that may sound, the English language mixed with my love for cottage style homes, is my interpretation for the perfect peaceful moment.



6. I have a pretty extensive bucket list, but this is the one I am working on at the moment. I would like to show up at the airport with empty suitcases in hand, and book the next available flight, wherever it is going, and go junkin' 'til I fill my bags.



7. I have a closet that would scare even the most experienced mothers of teenagers. I will spare you the picture.



(I'm pretty sure MiMi saw my closet.)


Here is the fun part! It's time to pass it on... Let's see if we can get Three French Hens, Bluebird Notes, Queen Of Tarte to play along.
