A French Wooden Caddy, My Hydrangeas

Hello!

I hope you are all having a great weekend.

I wanted to share a few pictures I took of a french wooden caddy....

I am always on the search for french wooden caddies and or baskets at the flea market.

I couldn't pass this one up....

I am not sure what it was originally used for....

Maybe a tool box....

I like using these caddies to store just about anything in....

Anything but tools that is....

I added a few of my hydrangeas from the garden and some of my favorite dishes....

Be warned you will be seeing a lot of hydrangeas in my product pictures in the near future....

(I posted about my hydrangeas last year, you can read my post by clicking here)

I planted over 20 plants four years ago.

They are all blooming like crazy right now.

Which means there will be a lot of hydrangeas used for product pictures from now and until October.

On a more serious note...

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the tornado victims.

I can't even imagine going through such a devastating storm.

I will be donating 10% of all sales from May 27th to May 30th to the Red Cross.

If you would like to make a personal donation you can do so by visiting

The Red Cross.

Thank you and have a great weekend!!

Take Care,

Chateau Sonoma~ A French Flea Market...Today in Sonoma, CA

Hello!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

I just wanted to share a few pictures of a french flea market that is going on today at the

Chateau Sonoma in Sonoma, CA....

I went yesterday with my two daughters...

If you are in northern California you should be sure and stop by....

You won't be sorry.

I got to meet the owner of Chateau Sonoma, Sarah Anderson.

Sarah is the sweetest person....

You will love Sarah and her shop,  Chateau Sonoma....

I am going to share a lot of pictures of the flea market in this post... and it is still going on today...

I LOVE these chairs.....

My daughters found out that this gentleman, Michel Saga (Paris Musique)

will have a part in the up and coming Disney movie, Cars.

We actually had left the flea market and my girls asked me to come back and take a picture of them with Michel.....

If you do get to stop by Chateau Sonoma, let your husbands know you might be awhile....

I am glad Thad wasn't with me, because we ended up staying all day!

Thank you Sarah for hosting such a wonderful french flea market!

Hope you get a chance to stop by Chateau Sonoma today!
