Chinoiserie

Took some time "out" yesterday

to hit our favorite antique shops and thrift stores

We picked up a gorgeous mirror

as well as a French tallboy

but really, we ended up with so many "smalls"

We're loving all things Chinoiserie lately

Asian-inspired pieces with a European influence

Interestingly, these pieces all came from different sources

yet they look like they all came from one home, don't they?

Most were made in England or France

The periwinkle blue shade on the vases and on the statues is so gorgeous

yet the white makes it crisp and fresh

Of course, THIS is the BEST find of the day :0) 

We haven't focused on smaller items since we left Summer House almost two years ago...

time to re-stock for the new shop opening!  

Speaking of the new shop...

the city is hosting an event to celebrate our street's new look!

We won't be ready for our "grand" opening,

but the front room will be complete and we'd LOVE to see you!
