Our Latest Antique Lighting Line- Created Just for your Chateau!

Growing up as an only child, I had lots of time to play and create.

Decades later, my Mother remarked to a friend that I was " always making something out of

nothing....change a little or change a lot, but new object was always being tranferred into something totally different!".

Well, today, that theory is still into play....but never

more beautifully!

..................I am happy to introduce my new line of lamps and chandeliers make from vintage and antique objet d'art from Europe!

With the help of my genius lamp maker, I've taken 18th century Italian gilt Fragments, vintage metal and brass ornaments and the unexpected everyday antique object and reshaped, painted, or molded it into a fabulous one -of -a -kind lighting fixture!

All of these lighting pieces can be viewed on the Chateau website. Unfortunately, some are already sold and will never be re-created again! But never fear, I keep my Lamp Genie busy creating more works of art for your lighting needs!

Need something special for your Chateau? Just ask!

Shipments arrive from France, England & Belgium!!!

Paris and the South of France Markets!

***CONTAINER ARRIVING ATLANTA OCTOBER 20!!!***

Bonjour Mes Amis!
I have just returned from over a glorious week of buying antiques in Paris and in the south of France! The weather was beautiful, the food wonderful ( I even ate kangaroo) and the markets were packed with treasures to bring home to you!

Over the next few days I will be listing on the website some of the treasures that I was able to bring home in my suitcases. The rest will be shipped back. Shipments from my Paris dealers will start arriving as soon as next month, while the rest will be shipped in by the first of November.

I wanted to share with you some of the sights from the beautiful markets that we went to. And some of the lovely French and Italian people that we met! So enjoy these lovely memories with me!

Merci! Lee

Rococo School of Chocolate

OK, it's obvious we have great food on our minds. And this website and store we just couldn't let pass without telling you all about it. The Rococo School of Chocolate, in London, founded in 1983 by Chantal Coady, not only a beautiful website where you can order the most yummy delights, but also a school where you can make you own chocolates! The class meets in the afternoon, provides afternoon refreshments as well as a glass of champagne at the end of class! As their website says "A perfect day out for a group of friends or colleagues: no pressure, no exams, just chocolate-covered fun"! Now that you don't find in your usual tourist guide. For further info visit their website: http://www.rococochocolates.com/ . Now that's a serious YUM!

Eating our way Across Europe

I have always said that an antique dealers life is not for the weak of heart or lack of stamina. But when it comes to nourishment, do we eat to live or live to eat. And afterall, those very early days at the antique fairs, on our feet for hours on end, our brain on overdrive calculating exchange rates, shipping costs, ...do we not deserve at least a small treat at the end of the day??? How can we resist? Take a look and see if you could! Bon appetit!!!

French Brocante comes to Atlanta!

For those of you who have ever had the opportunity to travel to France and visit some of the wonderful Brocantes ( flea markets), you'll quickly notice the similarity to our just recently held Brocante in Atlanta. For 2 days we enjoyed eating French food, listening to classical European music and visiting with some of our favorite customers as they shopped with us as if they were in a fabulous French Market! A huge turn out, a great time was had by all...so that we'll all be back again...by private appointment or during our French Brocante held to the Trade Only every month. If you're also a dealer, or interior designer, and plan to visit Atlanta on your next shopping spree. Please let us show off our treasures! Email anytime for directions and appointments! .......

We are taking August off for a well deserved Vacation and buying trip!
