Bringing it Home… Brocante Home Day

Brocante Home, The French Muse,  Corey Amaro

 

Since starting the French Muse Experience with Ruth, we have had many adventures, and they keep on coming. Neither of us mind, we are brocante (antique) addicts so the more adventures in brocanting (antiquing) the better. 

We had another "Brocante Home" in my house. 

So much fun having kindred antique addicts come over, listening to their stories, sharing ideas and secrets of the trade, plus setting up a brocante… and it gives me a good reason to spruce up the house.

 

 

The Red Shed Antique Gals came over around ten…

We had croissants, pain au chocolates, pastries and Kir Royals.

Sacha asked if it was too early to be drinking… I laughed at my age time doesn't matter.

 

 

 

The backdrop of the day: Sunshine!

Yesterday the brocantes in the area were rained out, so having a sunshine day for our brocante was a real treat.

Thanking the sun for shining.

Sipping Kir Royals.

Living our passion for antiquing.

If you ever give me a reason (or not) I will talk endlessly.

You have to put tape on my mouth to get me to stop.

And if you ask me to talk brocante…

don't

'cause 

you will have to move in, and wear earplugs.

It looks like I am explaining rules for a scavenger hunt. Oh there is an idea, for the next group that comes over!

In the kitchen…

Everyone is nibbling and drinking

and I am

TALKING.

Though I think Sacha took photos of me talking to tease me.

Everyone found something.

Ruth and I found new friends.

    So glad you are doing these, Corey! It’s great to imagine the joie you and Ruth bring to your visitors’ lives!

  3. Corey, looks fun, a wonderful group of brocante lovers! And it’s never too early for Kir Royal. I love the stone wall in your kitchen/dining room too.
    I wish your blog photos would enlarge when I click on them so I can see all the wonderful details. 🙂

  4. PS – your home looks beautiful as always!

    Corey,
    Thanks for a glimpse at your home. It is so beautiful !

  6. A scavenger hunt sounds like a delightful idea for your next brocante group!

  7. Corey,
    You’re killing me with these brocante tours…I’m definitely an antique/vintage junkie and your beautiful photos are fueling that addiction! 🙂

  8. I wished I was there! If someone put tape on your mouth, I’d tear it off (carefully); you are a wealth of information, Corey!
    BTW, I gave your mom a big hug last Saturday at the CV Flea Market in your hometown Willows. I told her I can’t believe she is 80 years old! She was very modest when I told her that. How lucky to have her for your mom!
