What a week!!!! Its been a whirlwind ~ Im sure everyone feels the same. But I swear that I almost felt the calm today that usually comes after the Holidays. It felt pretty good:)
I had better do this now or not have any time for it later. I am having my little New Years Clearance SALE at French Bleu Vintage starting TODAY Sunday December 19th and ending on January 2nd.
I really did want to have a Christmas Sale - but my web designer (the person who really has to input all sale materials and code) is out of commissions for awhile - so I waited but to no avail. Therefore I need to do this the old -fashioned way - which is and please read this carefully.....
If you want to place an order - please email me under comments through the FrenchBleuVintage.com webstore homepage. DO NOT USE THE CART SYSTEM!!!! You will not get the sale price if you do. Just email me your order (please send me your address and zip code as well) and I will take 20% off of your entire order. Then I will send you a Paypal invoice which will include your shipping cost.
Ooops almost forgot - While supplies last - any order over $100 (after 20% adjustment) will receive a free copy of Country Livings "Merry & Bright" Holiday Book ~ compliments of FrenchBleuVintage.com.
A Very Blessed Christmas & Happy Healthy New Year to all ~

Silver Sunday Tresor Box
Take a look at this fantastic display box I found. I just adore it. I just got it a few days ago so its not been tweaked perfectly yet. But I was needing to take some photos of items for the shop so decided to put them in the case. It is very generous in size and accommodates a ton of items ~ but I only had a few silver tresors I wanted to showcase.
These vintage cocktails forks came in their original box from Amsterdam ~ even my little crescent wrapped piggies will look elegant with these;)
This elegant swirled glass bottle is so pretty ~ I have no idea what it was used for, but the cap is sterling, so it must have been something pretty special. It almost looks like a flask.
Of course at this time of year this mercury glass ornament is a must to show. I actually had found a dozen of these about 10 years ago at an Estate Sale. As usual though, after 3 kids, I only have about 6 left....when will I learn, "nice ornaments on the top of the tree".
I really need to do some polishing ~ I know the patina is great and all, but....something about the Holidays though, I want it all to sparkle and shine. Its raining like cats and dogs here in CT today ~ I think I just found another rainy day job.
Love this unusual caddy |
This Victorian powder case music box still works |

Vintagey Christmas
Im getting beary tired of all this decorating |
Therefore, since my house looks like the victim of a natural disaster, I will once again show some awesome photos from The Country Livings holiday decor book ~ Merry & Bright. I know...broken record, but there are some very cool ideas (and yummy cookie recipes) in there.
Does this look dangerous to anyone else? |
This is one idea I have stolen for my mantel |
Even I can do this ~ simply gorgeous |

Loving Merry & Bright
Quick short post today about a book that I bought for French Bleu Vintage.com last Holiday Season, but never got the chance to read. Well, I uncovered it again today and had a few undisturbed moments to peruse its lovely pages. As far as I am concerned, this is one of the BEST holiday decorating book out there. Have you checked out "Country Living Merry & Bright 301 Festive Ideas for Celebrating Christmas"? If not, please do. There are some seriously fabulous photos to grab inspiration from. Just check out a few of these photos.
Im just sorry that I didn't go through this book sooner ~ it may just get me out of my decorating slump. I wish I had more copies of it in the store, but I only have 2 left. If anyone is interested, it is in the Seasonal department. Its late and time to go off and dream of sugar plums and mercury glass beaded garlands.

Isn't this super pretty? |

I don't even know what this is and I love it:) |

VBF ~ Holiday Inspiration
This Vintage Rosary is a perfect start for Holiday decorating |
I mostly gravitate for metal accent pieces ~ trays, jewelry, candlesticks, frames, etc. So without further ado.....
This months Vintage Black Friday... now if I could only incorporate these into Vintage Christmas............
This may work around some pine greens and berries |
Okay ~ I see where this candleabra may work |
