Leaving On A Jet Plane..........

Hello Lovelies,

Happy Black Friday! What time did you hit the stores? Be honest now.........

Moi? Nope, heading to France today.

Talk about having to jump through hoops! As of 9pm the dog sitter was finally located and secured......nothing like last minute catastrophes to overcome :)




Next week the Brocantess will be coming to you from Provence and the brocantes!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi Kids!

Hope that your turkey day has been a good one and that you have eaten more than your share of pie :)

Enjoy the rest of your day and try to behave when you venture out to those sales!

Black & White--Brocantess Style

Evening kiddos,

Having a day where things are either black or white is a luxury the Brocantess would love to have...........

..........and, yes, I know my favorite color is gray ;)

Since it can't be avoided might as well embrace it!

Let's enjoy some of my favorites in honor of things (at least in design) being black & white!

Industrial shelving

Vintage Letters

Love - love - love barn doors on tracks!

Wings

Chippy doors or shutters hinged to become screens

French Menus and SOON!!!!!

Non traditional closets

Here's hoping that your pre-Thanksgiving day is a good one!

Winners & 3 French Hens!!!!

Hello Lovelies,

Yes, I know you are sitting on pins and needles :) but not much longer to wait!

The Brocantess will be guest blogging during The 12 Days of Christmas event at Noel Giger's site on December 3.

"3 French Hens" is the theme de moi and a give away a surprise created by Emilie M is part of the fun.

Check out the lovely treasures in Emily's Etsy shop for a hint of what is to come---she is a Brocantess favorite! Please visit Noel's site for a full list of bloggers that she has joining in on the fun.

Now for the fun stuff-----------and without further adieu----------here we go!

The BFF was allowed to draw the winners from all of the entries and these are the order in which they were chosen:

Prize #1 - Rosary - bluebirdnotes
Prize #2 - Books - fadedcharmcottage
Prize #3 - Linens - the-feathered-nest
Prize #4 - S things - this is where we hit a wall

The BFF drew 2 names that were stuck together and being a softy it just didn't seem right to toss either of these ladies out so both will receive gifts.

Paris & Provence-Just A Few Dreams Away

Hello Lovelies

How was the weekend? Did you shop, drop or just stay away?

The Brocantess' BFF hit town. We tend to get in to trouble in each other's company---not that we stay out of it on our own ;)

By the way----You are quite the good guessers my lovelies!

Friday's picture was indeed a wall paperer's table. Long and narrow, beautifully aged & best of all---the table fold up neatly inside the hinged top & latches closed until your next soiree!

Now here's a little something to prepare you for the upcoming week..........

James Merrell and Flikr

Have a lovely rest of your Monday and come back at 7pm for the winners of the Brocantess' Big Brocante Give Away!

xoxo,

The Brocantess
