I keep meaning to write a post about this bed I found last summer…and I’m working on it. I just follow my heart sometimes on collecting…and find a place and use for the item eventually. Along the way I meet so many interesting and amazing people. Great blogging friends, wonderful textile dealers that love the hunt and bring back amazing pieces. Antique dealers like Atelier de Campagne that scour England, France and Belgium for that next best thing. People on Ebay or Etsy that sell the most amazing finds from their own collections or early Flea Market jaunts!. It’s always worth keeping your ears open for that “something in the back room”.
My one piece of 18th c French porcelain. Slow Buds the Pink Dawn like a Rose here
I LOVE that picture of the cup and saucer. Such an evocative piece!
Beautiful finds and the porcelain pieces from her collection are exquisite.
You’re right about the ‘back room’. We all have them…you have to once you are in this business….just ask my husband 😉

I’m in love with each piece, but my favorite is the “trembleuse”. It is exquisite. And your price point is great.

I agree. The first phrase that piqued my curiosity was…”and I have a Marie Antoinette trembleuse…”. Love the image of 18th c ladies with their trembling teacups!
Oh Trish – You’ve opened “another” cupboard! My favorite French periode of porcelaine….!
Amongst the collection I also found my favorite design, the “Barbeau aux bleuets” (cornflowers) and – I just spotted that you’ve got a cup with that decor! Most have missed this in the past….
Very generous of you to give all this information and the link. Great work and effort!

The bluette is modern Herend…it mixes perfectly with my 18th c French demitasse! And old French rose!
Love your expression ‘catnip to my ears’ – it just explains what you mean so perfectly!
Trish your bedroom is fabulous! You really know how to put things together to bring a mood in and I’m definitely getting French. I don’t collect porcelain but certainly love looking you never know so I’m off for a browse.

I’m loving this photo Trish! Feel like I am standing in a fabulous brocante in France…you have done a beautiful job with the bed linens, and I love all the texture you are adding to the room… Feels good when a plan comes together, yes? Here I am waiting patiently to put my house back together again….soon, very soon. n.xo
