BECAUSE WE SPEND SPRING AND SUMMER IN FRANCE, THE ( UK BASED ) SHOP IS CLOSED OCCASIONALLY WHEN MY SON IN THE UK IS UNABLE TO SHIP ORDERS FOR ME DUE TO WORK COMMITMENTS. I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO RESERVE ITEMS FOR YOU :-)
UK CUSTOMERS - ETSY HAS DECIDED TO BLOCK ALL UK LISTINGS REMOTELY CONNECTED TO ANYTHING TO DO WITH KNIVES, SO MY LISTINGS FOR CRYSTAL KNIFE RESTS AND CUTLERY SETS ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN THE UK. UTTER MADNESS BUT THERE YOU ARE. IF YOU ARE IN THE UK AND WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE KNIFE RESTS ETC. PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA MESSAGE. THANK YOU.
I have collected many beautiful things over the years, including my much loved old paper ephemera, French enamelware, vintage kitchen gadgets, table linens, bed linens, kitchen cloths and beautiful lace, Vintage French rosaries, crosses/crucifixes, vintage and antique clothing, all kinds of OOAK collectibles. As the children are now grown up, we want to move to a smaller home, so it is time to part with a lot of my collected treasures. But, it makes me very happy when they travel to new owners who love them just as much as I did. Happy shopping!

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely charming antique cheese molds! Just what I was looking for for a "touch of provincial France" in my home. This shop offers excellent customer service, quick shipping and exceptional communication with their customers. A very positive and delightful online international shopping experience! Do not hesitate placing an order with this shop--the experience is magical!

Shop policies
We share our time between the UK, where we live in a Victorian house, and France, where we live in a 150 year old farmer's cottage. I have been collecting lace, fabrics, old books and all manner of interesting, weird and wonderful old stuff for many many years.
For me the hunt and the haggling at brocantes in France and boot fairs in England has always been the most fun bit. But by now, our homes are overflowing and we desperately want to downsize so that we can move to a smaller home in the UK now that the kids have flown the nest. Parting with my little treasures collected over many many years is not easy, but I am happy when they find a new home with somebody else who appreciates them.
