French Blue & Co’s French Market here
Love this circus tent banner…
heralding her fancy finds…
Sold recently on Ebay…
Is the circus on everyone’s mind?
Or is it the stripes that sing to me?
Recent find…seduced by the rolling blue trim….
and the vine clambered tower…complete with wash…
(or antique French linen) tossed o’er the ramparts…
Loopy de loopdy loop…Tracing 15 feet of toile…
Love the rose madder sketching…
Could pelmet a bed, or be-ribbon curtain swags…
My favorite color combination these days….
Madame Issac Perrier from last year…
bidding her time….
From Kathy Dalwood’s new cast plaster collection…

Happy weekend all!
Trish,
I had never been to French Blue & Co. —that was fun and I found several items I thought were wonderful, if out of my current budget. Love the toile quilt edged in blue.
Enjoy your weekend…we’re sunny but cold in Southern California.

Your post made my day! Very up-lifting and – again – GREAT! Love the toile with the blue trimming, just so charming.
Merci beaucoup Trish et bon and sunny week-end.

Oh those roses, Trish. Just beautiful. I’ve done an “Oscar gown” post, come on over and see what you think. Sending love…
I’m loving that color combination lately as well. The quilted toile is lovely!! Off to check out the links!
The quilted toile is gorgeous–I also love red and am patiently waiting for the current infatuation with pink to turn to red and French blue. Have a wonderful week-end. It is a bit chilly down here in SC.
Lovely the way you weave everything together in your post, I wonder was the beautiful colored roses an inspiration. for the maker of the quilted toile. Love French Blues on line shop, funny how that works sometimes -yesterday I was looking over some of her treasures on her online shop.
warm wishes,

Love love love red on white. One of my favorite combos. Lovely photos and I need that quilt. Sea Witch
As always a visual pleassure! And such beautiful toile. It would have come home with me too *winks* Vanna
Oh my goodness, the quilted red and white toile is wonderful! And the blue trim makes it all that more unique.
Your beautiful roses have me longing for spring and roses in my garden as well. We are quite chilly in Southern
California this weekend.
Loved the jugglers’ pins, and red and white toile on quilts is so lovely any time of year. It just makes a room come alive.
Also admired the fact that Sybella Court did not attempt to disguise her TV. It’s usually the ‘elephant’ in peoples’ living rooms….or should I say tents! Thanks for introducing us to another international talent.

Beautiful toile you found Trish and I love it with the blue trim. It’s amazing how you always link unusual photos together and make them work as one. Enjoy your Sunday in the sun, we’re getting more snow so I’m hiding inside!
Trish such beautiful images! I adore the red and white quilted toile!!
I have a wonderful offering on my site!!
