Don't Know Much About Biology

It's Dylan's fifteenth birthday tomorrow.

We're redecorating his bedroom next week and I've found this wonderful vintage French classroom poster for him. It's huge. These photos don't really do it justice but I'm sure it will look stunning once it's hanging on his wall.

Les Belettes dans le Grenier

Etsy Find : Faire Le Guignol

1950's French Guignol Puppet Theatre Set

Sadly, well out of most people's financial reach but beautiful vintage eye candy nonetheless! I am now on a mission to find one.

Some really nice vintage children's clothes at Lièvre de Mars.
I wonder who will buy that Deer Stalker?

Dream On...

A is for Appley Hoare Antiques, one of my "dream" sites, a place I go for inspiration, usually before visiting fleamarkets. I've written about this shop before, it's one of my favourites.

I always, always find something I like, and this time I've fallen for these French 19th Century linen sheets dyed in shades of blue / grey

and these large French metal boxes used for storing theatre costumes (C. 1940s)

Don't they look fantastic grouped together? If I had the money, I would buy them. Having studied French and Drama at university and specialised in theatre during the Occupation, I'm sure that these metal boxes have many any interesting story to tell...

Having said that, I will now be looking out for a few old metal "cantines" to paint black, add a chalkboard and some stencils. A nice idea for storage, don't you think?
