Vintage French Fruit Crates

Hello!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

I just got some vintage french strawberry crates back in stock...

I haven't had any of these in the shop since last summer.

These crates are a little different then the ones I found last year.

They can be used for so many different things....

They are great for corralling your everyday dishes in. 

I like to sometimes display one of these crates filled with dishes on top of the table or counter.

You can also use these to hold magazines or books in.

I thought I would share a few images of crates that I posted about last year.

This particular french fruit crate was one of my favorites.

I love how it is lined with chicken wire.

I posted about it last year here...

I also used this style of crate as a dish drying rack in the kitchen.

I am hoping to find more of these for the shop,  I am currently out of stock...

This is a vintage french crate, that I posted about last year, you can read more about it here.

Here I shared an easy way to set dishes out for a summer barbecue.

I set a small milk bottle caddy from Holland on top of a stack of ironstone plates.

You can read more about how we love to use mason jars for glasses here.

Here I stacked three vintage french fruit crates together and used them to hold my vintage grain sack

runners and lavender pillows  made from vintage french textiles and grain sacks that I will be taking to the Remnants of the Past Show.

I have been busy trying to get everything together for the show next weekend.

I hope to see you there....

You can visit the Remnants of the Past Website to read more about it.

On another note....

My girls get home in a couple of days....

They have been visiting my sister in Atlanta, GA

I can hardly wait to see them, their room looks so empty at the moment : (.....

On a final note....

I hope you all have a safe Memorial weekend.

A special thank you to all of the men and women in uniform who have served our country and are currently serving our country, we owe so much to you for your service!

My heart goes out to all of you that have lost a loved one serving in the military, and to those of you that have lost loved ones under any other circumstances.

We sadly lost a brother 12 years ago in a car accident, life is too short and so unpredictable, be sure you let your loved ones know how much you love them.

Take Care,

The Chateau Sonoma French Flea Market

Hello!

I wanted to share a quick image of my space at the Chateau Sonoma French Flea Market.

It was my first show and I discovered I have a lot to learn about being a vendor

at a flea market : )....

It really was a great experience and

I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to be apart of such a beautiful show.

I will share more images of the flea market soon.

I snapped a few pictures at the end of the show yesterday.

I didn't get to take a lot of pictures since I was at the show alone, my girls

are in Atlanta, GA visiting my sister.... 

If you are ever in Sonoma, Ca be sure and stop by the Chateau Sonoma,

it is truly one of the neatest shops that is filled with unique French antiques.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

A French Flea Market this weekend May 19th & 20th at the Chateau Sonoma in Sonoma, California

Hello!

This weekend I will be a vendor at the Chateau Sonoma 9th Annual French Flea Market.

It is held in Sonoma, California at the Chateau Sonoma.

It is a beautiful show filled with one of a kind European finds.

I attended the show last year and took lots of pictures.

I wanted to share a few pictures with you of last year's show!

This is an image of Michel Saga (Paris Musique)

and Sarah Anderson, Sarah is the owner of the Chateau Sonoma.

Sarah has a beautiful shop filled with beautiful antiques.

My daughters had to get their picture taken with Michael Saga once they found out

he had a part in the movie Cars.

Marina Geest, from Over the Ocean Antiques, had a beautiful

space.

I loved Fred and Coco's space.

As you can see it was filled with French finds.

This is an image of Chateau Sonoma's space, I loved how they hung an old French swing in a tree and filled it with vintage French watering cans.

 

Eric and Daniela's space was filled with vintage French linens.

Hope to see you at the show this weekend!
You can visit the Chateau Sonoma Website for more details!

I promise to share my husband's guest post soon.
Enjoy your day!
