Yes…I am still alive. I’ve been in the middle of a big landscaping project for weeks, my computer died on me, and I just haven’t had time or patience to decide what to replace it with yet. All my photo editing software and files are in limbo until I make the decision. So…I’m on the lam a bit…jerry-rigging my husband’s computer to get you some photos I took recently. When an impromptu rainstorm allowed me to escape my garden project… I drove down to Corralitos to pick up my big basket and spent a delightful drizzly afternoon with our Atelier de Campagne friends and their most recent finds.
As a textile junkie, I just had to pick up this vintage Louis XVI firescreen. The screens are used to ornament a fireplace in the off season…though Johan mentioned they’d make a great menu board. I generally like to keep my husband guessing as long as possible about what’s for dinner…so I’ll be going the fabric route. And look at those mirrors! Atelier manages to bring back the most beautiful mirrors from their grand tours of the French flea markets.
Loving this bit of rosy color amidst all the neutral patina.
And the “high/low” mix of damask and wicker and rough plank floorboards…
Large mill baskets with bits of mohair still stuck at the bottom. Atelier is always a great source for wonderful baskets….
This lovely piece was placed over the holy water font…
See the Atelier de Camagne site here for the upcoming events this weekend and next…more wonderful photos of their latest container finds on their blog here
The garden is beginning to explode and the new project is done…so hope to get you more photos soon!
Trish,
Computers…you can’t live with them and you can’t live without them. I hope you’re able to decide and be up and running soon. Especially since you’re working on your garden, you know how I love the inspiration I gain from visiting your garden.🙂
I have got to get up north and see the Atelier de Camagne sale sometime.

Good morning, This blows my mind away as; I was just thinking of you yesterday. The blog is perfect as usual. May the sun rest upon your heart and garden. Have a great spring. Cheri
new to you blog…glad to hear from you. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
Love the toile on the chair – very tapestry like. I see several things that would fit wonderfully in the show house project I’m working on – Belgian style inspired… The small statue with it’s lovely patina, the baskets and bell jars. Even a few of the urns that are reflected in the mirror in your first picture.
Always enjoy “reading” the images you include in your posts…
Cheers,
John
Everything you shared was beautiful! I especially like the crown that’s placed over the holy water. Love the curves and color of it. Sorry about your computer–they CAN BE VERY FRUSTRATING! Aren’t you glad you have your garden?
i cant wait to see your garden design! tell more about it. thanks for show so many pretty things!
Glad to see you back. Beautiful images.
Hi Trish nice to see you about. I managed to buy a couple of things from the boys on this sale too and can’t wait to receive them. I have a fireplace screen exactly like the one above. I have it covered in fabric and use it for business cards and notes to myself, my expensive bulletin board….lol. I can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on in your garden.
