French and English curiosities
When we lived in England my husband and I had a passion for collecting antiques and curiosities. We moved to France in 2005 and that interest has come with us.
We live in a rural area in a house that was a ruin when we moved here...its still not finished but I dont suppose it ever will be!
Its great to have space around us. We live not far from the local town of Graulhet but are surrounded by plenty of fields and woods. We have collected a few animals since we've been here. We now have 5 cats 2 dogs and 2 goats. Life is never boring or even very quiet.
We have a large flower garden (flowers are a passion of mine) which provides the inspiration for my paintings and a vegetable patch. On the whole our life has changed alot since we left England.
We now collect interesting French memorabilia. My husband, Steve, particularly has developed a mania for French local markets, vide greniers. So we decided that it would be best to open an etsy shop so that others can benefit from our interesting treasures AND make space, so that we have an excuse to buy more!!!

I am unable to take responsibility for the postage costs of damaged items but I will help and advise you to make an insurance claim.
The same applies for lost goods.
~ I describe all items, through both photographs and description as accurately as possible. Vintage items are being listed and sold as seen with no warranty or guarantee. I will do my best to describe the item accurately, note any defects, flaws, or issues with a given item.If you have any queries or require further photographs, please contact me.

Payment
Shipping
The only suggestion I can make is if you are interested in more than 1 item, then please contact me for the shipping price. The cost for 2 items posted together will be significantly cheaper than posted separately.
For all items shipped with Colissimo International, you will be given a tracking number so that you will be able to track the parcel on their website. The price of shipping also includes insurance. Once the parcel has left France, buyers can track them on online.
In the rare case of damage during shipment, please save all parts of your item plus all packaging. We will need it to file an insurance claim. Please contact me right away with photos of damaged items and their packaging. If packaging is discarded, this voids shipping insurance and I will be unable to issue a refund or replacement.
Deliveries with Colissimo usually take 8 to 10 days to reach any place in the world.
**You will find, in the true spirit of recycling, that your item will ,if possible, arrive packaged in a pre used box. I make no apologies for this as I believe that we should not waste earth's resources.
So dont be surprised if you receive your item in an Amazon box!! **
***
I ship to the address listed on PayPal or the Etsy receipt. It is the buyers responsibility to let me know if this address is incorrect.
I am most careful when packing items, but if the packaging is damaged I advise you to check the parcel's contents in front of the postman and refuse to accept it if the contents are damaged.
Additional policies and FAQs
Please note.......most vintage items are fragile. Please always handwash your item carefully, do not use a dishwasher.
