ANTIQUES AND CHILDREN

When in Paris I found this 19th century child's carriage the perfect prop! Combined with some greatly loved bears.

party invitations are available on line from Julia Boston Kids 

When you order a name picture you can now have A6 cards printed with the same name with a coloured border, perfect for thanking people for Christening presents or baby shower presents.............

ANTIQUES IN LONDON AND RACING IN PARIS

October started with a visit to Paris for the big race at Longchamp, the Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe.  It is one of Europe's most prestigious horse races. The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe was first run on Sunday 3 October 1920,  The inaugural running was won by Comrade, a three-year-old colt owned by Evremond de Saint-Alary. The winner's prize was 150,000 francs. This year it was won by Treve and the winner's prize was £2.2 million. 

A trip to the antiques fair on the Ile de Chatou on was good and this was followed by an afternoon spent in the antiques market the "Puces" in the north of the city. Both good places to find interesting small items for the shop. 
We have some great new pieces.
