Need a creative housewarming gift for the New Year?

Gather up a few vintage items and insert real fruit, baked goods and few plants (not flowers) for planting in the new year!

Dispersed are fresh lemons from the backyard tree (or grocery store!) and you have a gift from the heart and garden!

Or a Cheese set paired with a Cheese board is always appreciated!

Merry Christmas Shoe You!

{Vintage shoe molds; $44 small size - 51 large}

For the guy or girl who has VERY picky taste in shoes......
vintage shoe molds are just the ticket!


In various sizes+shapes. We think they look grand as a pair, but split them up and they each become a fantastic paper weight for the desk!

And if you're heading to Paris for holiday, be sure to get a proper French pedicure for those toes. While affordable walk-in's are not to be found in Paris, a treat you surely deserve at least once!

One of my favorites:
Darphin (yes--the fab skincare line! They do mani/pedi's in the back! Get an incredible facial while you're at it)

One can not cook with an ugly pot!

{French Potato Masher; $75 at vintageweave.com}

During one of my magical trips to St Tropez, I participated in a bistro cooking class. I'll never forget overhearing an instructor comment to a colleague "I can not cook with an ugly pot!" as she grabbed a copper tureen. I loved this! This past March I added to my own copper pot collection, a cocette ronde a couv (round concotte with lid) with a visit to my favorite Paris haunt, a chef's paradise:

"E Dehillerin"

Tucked away in the south of France is a cozy, blue kitchen with a simple
wooden table in the center and a door leading quietly out to a back garden. The
walls are covered in hanging antique objects--egg beaters, ladles, a messaluna,
pewter pans (all in perpetual use)--and shelves are crammed with vintage china
and colorful pottery bowls (the ones wiht the cracks and chips have the most
character). It is one of the most welcoming kitchens I have ever seen
--and some of the most welcoming food you can imagine comes out of it."

The above and below quotes are favorite excepts from "The Country Cooking of France" ~ Anne Willan

"I can do everything by hand--with a mortar and pestle, a knife, a
whisk--it's so much more sensual"

Call us or order online this incredible book--a delight for the tummy and the eyes! Chock full of gorgeous pictures and interesting tidbits surrounding the country cooking style of the south of France.

Got Lait?

Sunday brunch table settings just topped the charts!

We love Sunday brunch entertaining as the possibilities are not only endless, but relatively easy! Brioche doesn't have to be difficult, nor does French Toast. My only requirement with these is the use of REAL maple syrup! (Incidentally, the smaller bottle looks so CUTE with syrup inside!)

New offerings to hold milk, cream, eggnog......

In two sizes: Few Friends ($17) and Lotsa Friends ($24)

Glittermania + Celebrity Spotlight

{3 foot Table Top Bejewelled Eiffel; also available in 5 and 7 foot}

Real German Glass Glitter is such a favorite, mainly because after it's exposd to air for a period of time it takes on a gorgeous antiqued patina: from Shiny silver to Gorgeous Gold-ish.

One of our favorite artists in this arena is the uber-talented Wendy Addison. Her creations always fly out the door.....

Sharon Osbourne is a fan, too. While many of the treasures Sharon buys from us are one-of-a kind, she's a big fan of Eiffel Towers, like the 3 foot one she purchased above. But she also loves the German Glass Glitter ones, too. Some of her favorite glittery Eiffels:
