Last Christmas I had this idea about gifts. Being the {vintage} girl that I am, and looking for more options than just hitting any old store I was wishing for more creative options. I ended up shopping a lot on Etsy to be honest and the majority of loved ones on my list ended up with handmade or vintage items. It was actually really fun. I was able to find things that met each person's personality and I was certain they would not get two of the same, have to return anything or exchange a size the day after Christmas.
I also wanedt to add some more personalized options for 'gifts' from my shop as well. But at the time I had an almost-one year old (January birthday) and almost-teen (also a January birthday three days after the one year old) it was my second Christmas in France and I was still trying to get my footing (actually I still am!) and creativity was just not flowing like it should have been.
This year it is better.... all around. Except that now I have an almost TWO year old--(Lord have mercy!) and I am busier than ever! But still---I just thought if I 'coupled' vintage items with French culinary items--what a fun gift it might make.
So there you have it! More French vintage holiday inspiration!
Here are a few of the items that will be listed in the shop tomorrow--Perfect for gift giving!
| An antique chocolate mold coupled with a blue stripe towel. |
| A small zinc plate, vintage towel and French soap with a 'bouquet garni'. |
| Two vintage French 'torchon' and a vintage citrus juicer. |
| A wood crepe spreader with an antique red striped torchon. |
| A large zinc pate, large French 'savon' for the kitchen and a vintage towel. |
Plenty more coming! I will start listing all of the sets tomorrow!
Hope this brings a little gift giving inspiration to you as you get ready for the busy season ahead!
Happy Thanksgiving week mes amis!
I may not be there in person--but I am 110% there with you in spirit!
More soon!
