Beautiful Blue French Bistro Chair....and a few other new items in the store

Bonjour!  

I was invited to see a friend's items that arrived in their recent container and look at what I found!  I love this chair!  It is a pale robin's egg blue.  It is chippy and worn and fabulous.  I was very grateful for the call to preview their treasures!  I was like a kid in a candy store.


I love that the edge of the seat is chipped off.  


There are layers of green, a darker blue, and red on the back side of it.  


I made this market tote last weekend.  I pieced two different sacks together.  


I love the shade of the blue.  And I think that it is special because of the monogram.  It is that of the farmer who used this particular sack.  I think that this would be a nice tote to take to the market, or beach bag to carry in Hawaii, or any beach for that matter.  The great thing is that it comes with history. 

Sold. 



This beautiful pitcher came from the same vendor but I purchased it a long time ago.  I love the patina on it.  There are a few white paint stains on it.  It is no longer watertight.  I place a glass in it to hold water for flowers.  


And last but certainly not least, I promised in a past post that I would be getting more enamelware canister sets in.  Here are three of the four sets I have found.  I am still waiting to receive the other one from France.  


I like the ribbing on the sides.  What a nice touch. 


The next two pics are sets consisting of two canisters.  I really like the faded gilt striping and gothic lettering on both of them.





All of the above items, minus the cream and gold enamelware pitcher (cannot seem to list that one yet :)) are available in my Etsy shop.

Thanks for visiting

Michele

  6. I have wanted a bistro chair in that beautiful blue color forever!!! Now if I only I had the money to spend on it :) It is gorgeous.
    That bag is amazing too, lucky person who snatched that up. It looks so soft and pretty, I think I'd make it my daily purse just because it's too pretty not to use all the time.
    Great goodies Michele!
