Dans de beaux draps!

Du linge ancien...Des draps et des taies d'oreillers... 






Des taies d'oreillers, des coussins moelleux, des invitations à la paresse et aux rêves...




Des réveils en beauté et des nuits dans de beaux draps...





Sur vos deux oreilles et à poings fermés, dormez-bien...




D'amour, de gloire ou de beauté, à quoi rêverez-vous cette nuit?

A night in technicolor...in India.







Another colorful find...




Have a look at this "Indian" bedspread!





Lots of details!




Can you imagine the journey on the elephant?






 Pay attention: tigers!





It is so hot: you'll need these huge fans, and they are shaked for you...






Just look.






Sooooo colorful...

Sooooo many person and details...














I need a shweppes Indian tonic.

Finally, it was a good Monday!

Monday, at Brussels... I was very disappointed because the dealer was not there with the "promised "lace curtains! GRRRR...




So, in a very bad mood, I made some bargain hunting. I was very angry and I bought a few things through spite. I spent 5 euros on what I taught to be only a dirty old tablecloth just good enough to fill the garbage-bin. Without really looking at it, I paid, rolled it and threw it away in the bottom of my shopping trolley. 



I forgot it until yesterday . What a surprise! That "little old dirty thing" was absolutely not as bad as I was expecting! Far from there to say the least! Except the fact that it is a bit frayed on the edges (I suppose "commensurate" with age!) it is absolutely free of any gaps and stains!










I could not believe my eyes...Did I mentionned that when I spotted it there was only one tiny corner of it coming out in the daylight from under a huge heap of the ugliest "vintage"shoes?






Wow, I love it! And it is now part of my collection (as the cheapest one!!!)



Gosh, I do love these tapestry squares! I've got them in olive green, in red, in purple, in brown, in light green and in pink...and now in black!




A great Monday, finally...











What's your favorite one?

Found in Bruges, 22 September 2013

Yes, I know, it took me a while to "unveil" my purchases from Bruges. Not that they were so many but I finally took time only today to empty the one and only bag that I had brought back home...a bag of antique linen, ofcourse! Some lace curtains and a bedspread. Pictures...

Found this morning in Brussels...



A batch of antique printed wallpaper that has been hidden for decades in the attic of an old mansion.










A discovery that left me speechless and I can't stop looking at these...



Roses, lilac, Ribbon, Fruits, trompe l'oeil...
What is your favorite?















LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE ROLLS!
