All Things French at Sales

Hit the jackpot the past couple of weeks!

So many lovely finds, so many Frenchy-looking finds!  Here are some photos:

This is an antique display stand, likely from a store display.  It says “French Milled Soap”.  And I KNOW it’s likely a real antique because the metal finish wipes off with a damp cloth.  Will be needing daughter’s assistance to fix this potential problem.  But it works perfectly in the master bath!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

French bench, mint condition, with caning.  It came with a seat cushion, also in very good condition.  I’m loving the bench, but will ask Daughter to distress and glaze it a bit—and it will live, at least for a while, in the living room.  I will show photos later.

A reproduction of a French laundry cart—actually two of them were sold together, so I bought one for me and one for Daughter to use potentially as a display item.

I opted to store rolled towels in the master bath in the cart, but pillows, or about anything you can think of would look cute. 

Yard sales.  You can find anything at yard sales—it requires two things:  patience and persistence.  And a little bit of money—much less than retail! 

So you want to know what I paid for the items above, don’t you?
