Homemakers in Cape Town

CAPE TOWN  HOMEMAKERS EXPO attract 38 000 visitors yearly. 
 I was invited to share my French Brocante finds.


 
 Veiled lady statue, 
(available to local orders soon)
one of various images on circle shade 
designed by me to fit lamp base, 
at the back- lamp shades covered with vintage French fabric found at a French  Brocante in France.



 French Brocante  linen finds


Images printed on antique French linen, designed onto half shades was hugely popular.






Once again, as always,
it was  lovely to meet  fellow Francophiles loving the French way...

    I live in Canada, with German roots, British and Italian nationality, and an amour for Paris and France in general, and everything old, with history, with personality, and good taste. Your site is an inspiration. I just love it. Thank you.

    Hi Collete! Wil net se jou kleure en artikels vir vanjaar se shows lyk fantasties! Ek's mal oor die lamp skerms en dan ook die pratige Veiled Lady . Jy moet 'n groot baksel maak, want dit gaan soos soetkoek verkoop! Sien uit na jou exhibit - sal kom inloer! Xx Bernhardine

    Dear Colette, everything looks so lovely! I would be there in an instant if I could! The veiled lady statue is something else, indeed. Is it stone or composite? I shall be emailing you about her. N.xo
