I am starting to create my "Wish-List" for 2012--for myself and for Sunday Brocantes on Etsy,so I thought I would share a few...some of these things I would love for our home--some maybe might make it onto the 'store shelves' to share with you....I would also love to hear what you dream of finding for your home....
Item number one--really hope to find a vintage pigeon basket to make one of these for our family room. This fantastic one is available from Wildflower Organics in Austin, TX, by the way--but I hope to find a source for the baskets at a flea market here in France.....
Next, I would love some of these industrial shabby French cheese-crates found at Alahambra Antiques on 1stdibs.com.....
And while I am on the industrial shabby French decor theme...I have always wanted a group of mis-matched metal chairs for my 15' long rustic antique dining-table --- maybe like these by Xavier Pauchard c. 1935....
I am always looking for unique architectural pieces too.... windows, shutters, shelves.... . I love propping things like this up in a corner, or high shelf....
Remember my favorite metal sign? Must have it!
During my 'soujourn' recovering from my foot boo-boo, I have also had the luxury of leafing through a stack of French decor mags and I plan on posting some inspiration for future brocant-ing adventures as I continue my 'Wish-List' for the year. I plan to be ready when the official 'season' for vide greniers and flea markets resume..... in the meantime--as soon as I am up and about again--I will be checking out some off the path--back alley brocante and antique stores--so stay tuned!
What about you--What's on your wish-list?
Happy 2012 dear Cat. I can't seem to leave a message on your other blog and as I'm boycotting FB for a month (maybe I'll take up your idea of just doing a webless Wednesday afterall) can't contact you there either. Just one thing to say: DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE. I made myself sick about driving on the narrow roads inthis country, especially as I come from a country where we drive on the left and here there are HUGE DITCHES either side of the bitumen. The only way for me to get the mess monsters to school was to drive them…. Do it. It will only take you a couple of weeks of solid driving to get used to the narrow lanes. After it becomes a cinch and you will be texting and Facebooking at the same time quick as looka s you ;-) JUst kidding. But seriously - you'll be fine :) You could even drive all the way down to Tlse for a test. LOL.

Sorry about your accident. Hopefully you'll be up and about soon! I, too, am always on the lookout for great architectural pieces.
