When I was a little girl my parents always used to take me on summer holidays to France. At one point they owned a cottage in Brittany, which we visited every summer, and during our trips out there we'd often visit the Brocante (vintage/antique) Fairs that were dotted all over the place.

While probably goes some way to explaining why I love nosing around french vintage shops on Etsy.

Vintage French Kitchen Canisters by petitsdetails

These cannisters are adorable! There's lots of french vintage housewares in this lovely shop based in Paris, yet another thing on Etsy that I'd love to buy if I had the money, and a house to display them in!

Have a nice evening everyone!

Kitchenware

Inspired by my day in the kitchen I decided to have a little browse for kitchenware on Etsy. I currently flatshare, and while my housemates are lovely I think they would be a little bit frustrated if I started filling the flat with tons of bits and pieces for baking and cooking, so I've refrained.

But one day I would like to have my own place, in which case I'll probably end up buying quite a few things from various Etsy shops, not just kitchen things.

Vintage Style Bowl by poppyhousepottery

One of the things I WILL get for my kitchen though will be this gorgeous bowl. The outside pattern of red and white background with polkadots is already pretty, but then the gorgeously detailed decoration and embellishment inside pretty much seals the deal! Just look at it makes me feel that I could use it to cook some seriously delicious things, or mix up some lovely dough for cookies.

Have a lovely day everyone!
