Hello dear readers! How is your January going? I've been so busy working {which is trés bon, non?}, training le petit chiot Nicky, and putting the final touches on our Provence trip for Easter (!) that I've barely found time to write, read and comment on all your beautiful blogs. Until I have more time to sit down and really write... some lovely little images for you to enjoy that make my heart sing the song of Provence!
we missed these gorgeous luminaires at the latest
antiques auction in Provence... helas!
the apricot/tangerine color of this house
makes me happy!
tomatoes at the Aix-en-P. market
campanile... bell tower, graceful, lacy and found
all over Provence
my first purchases in Provence:
deco leather club chair and empire chandelier
the pigments found in Rouissillon, the magical
village where they make and celebrate
COLOR!
so pretty from Pierre Frey "Tree of Life"
witty Provençal cocktail table from Roche-Bobois
happy print from Les Olivades
the no-color look of
another Les Olivades stripe linen
elegant iron towel rack from Coté Bastide
sumptuous tiled bathroom
Les Olivades toile de juoy in sunny yellow
glasses Coté Bastide
Matisse fabric Les Olivades
I think this gorgeous bedroom is Roche-Bobois, but
not sure!
les Indiennes in cotton
typical country home in Provence
Pierre Frey of course!
desolé! my auction review shows we also missed
this stunning necklace at the Provence sale!
well who else but Roche-Bobois can do Provence like this?
a happy scene in a village square... boules!
ribbons at an outdoor market
sit a while at l'Isle sur la Sorgue... a little rest from
all the fabulous antiquing and brocanting!
silk tent a lå Pierre Frey
the paisley on linen look
this sketch by THE Louis Vuitton in the 19th C. was also at auction!
sunny colors of this Les Olivades fabric

ReplyDeleteWonderful post, great blog. Went to Provence last year for the first time and was transported to a different era..it was so magical and fabulous....can't tell you how much we enjoyed ourselves. I am new to blogging and glad I found your blog.
