Charlotte's Brocante

When I read on Corey's blog that her friend Amy Doll was opening her own store in Oregon after a buying trip to France, and that her store was only a half hour away from where I live, I was super excited and couldn't wait to go see it!!!! Last Friday, Lisa, Kate and I took off for the grand opening... We arrived a half hour late, and I was a bit sad I didn't get to see all that was there when the doors opened, but we still had a great time exploring her treasures! We enjoyed meeting with Amy and chatting about her trip to France, and came home with precious little things!!! I apologize for the "yellow" pictures, I hate using flash and am still learning about apertures and ISO's on my camera!!!














































I love the illustrations on these little match boxes I brought home with me...



















... These linen dish towels were a great price...

















... and so were these old religious charms!!! They make a sweet collection!

    I went Saturday, and it was nice! I guess there was a riot of people there on Friday. (You must have been part of the "riot")! I did get a few cute things! It was nice! I hope she has more shows, she has a nice space to have them!

    Hope to see you sometime soon, it has been ages!

    Hugs,
    Sheila

    Oooo, lucky you! *sigh* Wouldn't it be fun to go on a buying trip to France? I guess going on a shop trip 1/2 hour away where everything is from France would be the next best thing! Thanks for sharing with us your fun. What goodies there! ; )
