It's that time of year again, it's when we move out of our home for the summer. It might sound strange but we rent our property for 2 months as a holiday home during the summer months and we stay at our daughters. I move all my personal things into our store cupboard. Sometimes things stay in there & are forgotten about, these are what I call unimportant items.
Yesterday I was looking for something which I thought maybe I'd put away in my 'Store cupboard'. I must have been in there for a good hour, doing what my other half calls 'taking a trip down memory lane'. as I usually end up look through old photo albums or boxes of bits I'd brought with me to France. I didn't find what I was looking for, but I did find so many lovely things I'd put there and had forgotten all about.
When I first moved to France I visited 'Flea markets' and Brocantes most weekends, locally and around the area, buying bits and pieces that took my fancy, then when I saw the same things again I bought more and so my collections grew from the various items which at that period of my life I'd taken a liking to collect. Later after we had moved house, most of these had been put into my store cupboard.
Now that I am following other like minded bloggers & share their passions of vintage collectibles, I've seen similar items on their blogs,which I loved, so it made me think about my own hidden treasures. Which now I have brought out of the store cupboard and I'm going to find a new place to show them off, then I can enjoy looking at them again.
So if you would like to stay around for a while I'll share some of my lovely treasures with you, which have been hiding in my store cupboard for quite a long time. I hope you will enjoy seeing them as much as I have.
Some of my collection of glass ware, which have come up shining beautifully after a dip in hot water & vinegar.
A biscuit or sweet basket.
An old hand mirror with my initial on.
