    All of these items are so unique and so beautiful! I really must get to Paris some time to check out the flea markets! I've just discovered your blog and have a lot of catch-up reading to do, but wanted to drop a note and say how much I am enjoying it all ready! Paris looks like quite an adventure and I can't wait to dive in and read everything! ~Leena~

    There is little more satisfying than French Brocante shopping! When they say Vintage they mean really-really vintage!! I'll be in Dallas in June to see "Billy Elliot" and I hope to get to Grapevine too! I'm seriously covering that Joan of Arc statue!!

  23. DixieApril 30, 2011 at 4:52 PM

    .... that would be "coveting" Joan and not "covering"... darn iPhone!

    I'm posting about your giveaway on my blog right now!

    Wonderful finds!! Can't wait to see all the pretties! Don't you just love your "job"! Everyone should be so fortunate. I hope I am in time for a chance for the 'entree'.

    Yes, there were lots of airplane bits and parts - found in Warrenton and Roundtop - turned into all kinds of interesting articles and furniture. I had my husband to point out all the parts - do not think an untrained eye would spot many of them. Love the industrial look - glad it is spreading.

    I love everything you have gathered. I am definitely going to have to sign up for one of your trips next year since you are already sold out for 2011. Je suis très jaloux. Tout est très beau.
