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

White Hydrangeas and Chippy Bistro Chair

Hi all.  Everyone happy that it is Friday?  I thought that I would share these photos of my hydrangeas because they just make me happy.  They are so big and beautiful!



I found this pitcher online.  It was advertised as white.  It was not that expensive so I wasn't expecting too much.  


When it arrived I was surprised by the great condition as well as the bluish grey hue.  


It even holds water, which you probably know is not all that common for enamel pitchers of this age.  


My bistro chairs have been selling really well in the shop recently.  So I decided to add this one.  


  It is German, around 1930's, from a beer garden, I was told when I bought it from the antiques dealer.  I have tried to research this company, CW Naumann, but have been unable to find any info about it.  


I love the chippiness of it as well as the curved legs. It actually slants a bit but is sturdy and quite heavy.


Have a great weekend.  And welcome to my new followers.  Very happy to have you.
