Well, maybe not all girls.
But this girl definitely needed all the stuff in the photos below.
So, without further ado,
here are just a few of my recent purchases and acquisitions!

My Paris Bamboo Hotel Mat.
Purchased from The Curious Sofa,
so perfect in my blue and white kitchen.

Another vintage street sign, I'm acquiring quite the collection of these.
Right now, it's living in the entry hallway.

And a charming vintage inspired French sign.
This one will probably go in my powder room.

And then this...
I've been looking for one of these FOR-ever!
A vintage French enamelware lavabo!
Lavabo: n., pl., -boes.

- often Lavabo. The ceremonial washing of the hands and recitation from the Psalms by the celebrant before the Eucharist in the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches.
- A washbowl that is attached to a wall and filled from a water tank fastened above.
I'll likely hang it up in the kitchen
and place fresh peaches from our peach tree in it.

Later on, I'll fill it with other seasonal fruit, or flowers,
or vintage kitchen towels...so many options!
It's quite large, it's bigger than it looks in the pics.
It is sitting in a chair in the pics, so that gives you
a sense of its size.

I just love all you great find, especially the French sign... hugs~~~ Daphne
Of course you need this stuff! I can see why.
I love the French Lavabo, I thought I had one once when I was walking up to a garage sale and saw 2. My heart was beating so fast until I got the "those are sold". I had to let it go.
Enjoy your Thursday and I can't wait for the photo's!

Hi Anne...i love your street sign !!! ow...i am in love !!! ......happy day......love love love Ria....
You know, when I married my husband, I got to meet his Uncle Ray. I remember we were staying at his home once and he heard me telling Mickey about something I saw that I "wanted". Uncle Ray chimed in and gave me a life lesson. He said "honey, you never tell your husband you want something....you ALWAYS tell him you NEED it!"
LOVE the Paris rug! I so want to go to Curious Sofa someday!! Your lavabo is awesome....never see anything like that around here! Girl, you've got great taste!!

Love all your finds. That lavabo is great and so is that french sign :)
i am happy for you that you found your lavabo. i would have loved to have been there when you discovered it. i can just imagine. Bestest,Denise
I agree that you definitely needed all of this stuff. It's all just fabulous. That last piece is incredible! So pretty and so full of great possibilites. I know you will make it wonderful.
Hi Anne,
What a lot of wonderful treasures you got today - the lavabo is amazing and what a neat find.
31 Rue Cambon was where the first Chanel shop was, so your mat is in good company.
Happy weekend,

Love all your purchases. That mat is so cute!! I am a sucker for anything and everything blue! And your lavabo is awesome. You will have so much decorating with it. And I always love signs. These will look great in your new home. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Don't work too hard around your house. It will eventually get settled. Love & blessings from NC!
What beautiful pieces! You sure know how to pick them.
Lots of great treasures...can't wait to see where you put them all!!
Wow Anne, I love that Lavabo. Why don't you fix it up as an actual water fountain? Purchase an old faucet, use an old pipe or beat-up piece/plank of wood and run some plastic tubing from top to bottom with an attached small pump......oh geez, just send it to me and I'll fix it up......LOL
Hugs,
Meri
