Oui Oui Paris

 Dear Friends,

Oh how we love a little sparkle. Sweet Salvage's French Market would not be complete without a little Parisian flair. Contrasting black and white dance amongst radiant gold. Sparkling chandeliers illuminate vignettes designed for the mademoiselle in all of us. Feminine, beautiful, romantic and elegant; the essence of Parisian living has been captured this month, perfectly. Let's take a little stroll through a few pictures.

Yes dears, that is an amazing stack of antiques collar boxes complete with original collars, WOW! How about that incredible vintage ribbon?

The possibilities are endless as the holiday's approach.

Hard to see but the brass letters say Paris. They are from a Parisian printing

 set which is complete with all the alphabet. How fun is that?

Yes, I will take a little rest here. Curl up with a good book. 
Day dream a little. Magnificent!

Glove forms are all the rage right now and Sweet Salvage has them 
just for you. Perfect for displaying your favorite jewelry.

The Pairs Flea Market Style book will be available at Sweet Salvage
and can be signed by the fabulous author Claudia Strasser Thursday morning. 
A must have!

A beautiful example of the diverse collection of incredible chandeliers this month.



Loving this French Market sign. What a great addition to any French décor.

 

This vignette is so charming. Check out the beautiful ladies binoculars. Opera anyone?

Sparkle! Sparkle! Sparkle! But of course.

Last but not least my favorite, the Parisian Flower Market. Complete with 

black and white awnings, fresh blooms and oodles of garden inspiration. Love.

Happy Monday Friends,

Sweet

Boire du Vin à

Dear Friends,

The vin is chilling and we are awaiting your arrival. The Vignoble Français (French Winery) seems to be a trending theme for this month's French Market Event. Paired with so many aspects of our daily routine; dining, romance, relaxation and now more than ever home décor. French wine bottles, carafes, hotel silver/bar ware, European china and Ironstone, beautiful fine linen, rustic feed sacks striped in wonderful hues, cook books, market baskets and one of a kind furniture pieces to house your treasures, all inspire a fresh twist on entertaining this upcoming Holiday Season.  Cheers to you as we take a peek at some of the fabulous vignettes with a ode to Vin.
