Call me crazy, but I could not help going to the Long Beach Flea Market yesterday in the pouring rain! I was so thrilled to see two of my favorite sellers, Uber Chic and Brothers of Industry....YES selling in the rain! I should have taken a picture of all us "die hards".
Rain coats, umbrellas, rubber boots, tents and my trusty shopping cart! We were unstoppable!
Staying with my French Enamelware theme, I thought I would share my flea market find from yesterday. I purchased this beautiful Chocolate Pot from Brothers of Industry. I actually had my eye on it last Sunday when I was at the Rose Bowl Flea Market, but I bought so many other things from them...I forgot about the Chocolate Pot! So I was so excited to see them yesterday with the chocolate pot! These are very hard to find here in the U.S.
Isn't she pretty?
It looks like a coffee pot, but a chocolate pot has a wooden handle sticking out the back.
Look at how beautiful she blends with my other pink enamelware!

So many of you have been asking where I got so many nice pieces...I met a fabulous dealer in France on Ebay...Her site is called bluecherry and you can find her here.
Check out her items, she always finds the most beautiful things!
Wanted to change things up a bit and show you my favorite collection. I've been collecting French Enamelware for over 15 years now. Every time I walk into my kitchen I admire my collection. Every piece was hand selected and most were sent from France individually! I have tried to keep my collection to rose pieces, as most of you know how much I enjoy my garden. Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy.
I love French Enamelware mixed with rose water color paintings and French Toleware Trays.
I found this beautiful 4 piece RARE set at the Agoura Antique Mart in Agoura Hills Ca.
I have 10 of these beautiful utensil holders hanging in my kitchen as well....most have a beautiful rose detail and some of these date to the early 1900's!
One of my favortie sets is the Rose Garland pattern....RARE and very hard to find! I also love the Rose Pansy collection.
I hope you have enjoyed peeking at my Favorite collection! Have a beautiful day! Linking to Cindy's Romantic Home Show and Tell Friday click here to view.
