My French Purchases

I am not good at waiting. Nope, never have been good at waiting for something new to arrive or in this case some very old things. I took pics along the way with my iphone so I could remember some of them until they get here.

I had a few things on my short list to find and I did find all those things except one.

The main thing on my list was a French farm table and boy did I find a beauty.

Just look at those beautiful chunky legs. just excuse the dust

Look how thick the top is.

She has a wonderful old drawer in both ends with an iron handle.

Vendu means sold in French. Yep, VENDU to me!

Oh, and it comes with a leaf that attaches at each end which is very rare. So this baby will seat 12.

This beauty wasn't on my list, but when I saw her I couldn't stop staring. This was in the same store.

Just look at her scrumptious inlaid top and those little buckles don't bother me at all. It just shows she is old and has developed a few wrinkles like me.

Love her scalloped skirt. So dainty and pretty.

And another "sold" sticker. Mine all mine.

This large buffet wasn't on my list, but it was gorgeous and an unbelievable price. It is 44" tall by 51"wide. This picture does not do this piece justice. This was in a huge place stocked full of furniture and accessories and smalls of all types. I could have spent hours in here.

I also wanted a few confit pots and I found two like this one and much better prices than here. Of course I do understand why things are priced the way they are here now. By the time you figure in shipping and mark up for profit they do get pricey.

A couple of demijohns were purchased and they are called demijohns as our hosts did confirm. This amber color is a little harder to find and this one is huge.

This chair wasn't on my list, but I loved its shape and it is quite sturdy and comfy to sit in. I don't know why chairs jump out at me. This will replace the one that I could never get shipped that I bought in Connecticut last October.

Alain took us by an auction house where we could place bids on any items we saw. I placed a bid on this lot of two dog paintings and WON!

At the end of our visit in Normandy we went by Alain's warehouse where we gathered 

all our smalls together. This is my stash on the table.

I have some missing photos of a large scale with a marble top, a nice balance with all the weights, two long benches, a couple grain sacks,vintage hand towels and some very old pharmacy bottles. 

I am probably forgetting something, too.

Now, I am just waiting for the stuff to ship and the boat to come in.

When our stuff arrives at the port in Charleston, S.C. it will mean a trip to Charleston.

I love Charleston so another trip is no problem at all.
:)

We're off to celebrate Mr. Savvy's oldest sister's 88th birthday this afternoon.

Have a fabulous day!
