Paris Stash

Thank you so much for the previous comments, and blogger is still hit & miss so will have to be very quick LOL.
Here is part of what I bought in the show, there are also some Flea market finds and I just wish how to put names on the pictures itself to point them out. Have to do a course on that :-))) You must have seen Tempus Fugit's photo's? cannot do a link at the moment but who is not familiar with TF :-))


The long thread holders are old, a used and unused one, and when you unscrew them and there is a lethal bit of iron on the wood with a very sharp point to put holes in your work. 
The red check fabric is linen and will be lovely to stitch on.


Atalie Threads, some flannel for the Stacy Nash projects, Cotton fat Q's  with cherubs and stripes, I saw so many lovely ideas on this show forthese materials, you really need a couple of days to see it all.


The scissor man was there as well, I never saw the company name, and will have to find out who it is because they are fantastic so I can tell you. These scissors are made from old examples and very sharp.
The  red & cream fabric is made from linen and was used for old teatowels, Britta and me  halved the bale and got 4 meter's each, we got the price right down by hard bargaining  a must on the Vanves market LOL.

A fabric covered box which Britta pointed out to me, I collect them (if I can find them that is) and this one comes from Gallery Lafayette, would have loved to know what was in this box, maybe many chocolates !!! The picture on the top is made from paper. A great find.


The small box is covered in silk and in splendid condition,  small  and inside there is an inscripton "Parfumerie Molinard Jeune Grasse",  but when?? would love to know the date of these boxes.


Very small photoframe's, and I did bargain hard for these little treasures.
The Flea market is called Vanves and the Metro Porte de Vanves no: 13,  it is  my lucky number!!!

I love all your treasure and I might have some information about the box you found because one of my nephew lives in Grasse near the molinard parfumerie. I visited it last summer and they have a very huge collection of all the boxes and labels they have produced so maybe they would be able to tell you about your box.
I also wanted to tell you I love your blog !!

Bertie said...

Thank you Bihais for the information on this little box, it is very tiny and still in very good condition, a wonderful find.
