Château Chic Chat : March 2014
http://chateauchicdirect.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Living, loving, sharing our piece of France. Friday, March 28, 2014. I have often glanced at these poultry feeders or 'mangeoires a poules' whilst perusing a brocanteur's stand and didn't really imagine that they could be put to much decorative use. Le brocanteur said that they were now in much demand and highly sought after. I could feel the price going up as he spoke. 'Très rare. Ancienne' he said.'Yeah', I thought. Or you could get a few chickens instead! 8592; Newer Entries. Previous Entries →. Drivi...

Château Chic Chat : January 2015
http://chateauchicdirect.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Living, loving, sharing our piece of France. Tuesday, January 6, 2015. Of Cakes and Kings. For many of us, today is the day the Christmas decs come down and the house looks a little forlorn. Bereft of sparkle and embellishments, our dining room will be restored to it's former unglamorous self. The upside is that I won't have glitter on my face/hands/clothes for another year. Some even made it's way into my handbag this year? Well Twelfth night or Epiphany marks. Whichever is your galette of choice, it wi...

Château Chic Chat : August 2014
http://chateauchicdirect.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Living, loving, sharing our piece of France. Thursday, August 14, 2014. Borage the Wonder Herb. It's easy to see why the beautiful star shaped flowers of the borage plant are such a bee magnet. This old fashioned plant self seeded in my vegetable garden and since flowering it has been visited all day long by bees busying themselves collecting pollen. I had no idea it was such a useful plant for culinary and medicinal use. 8592; Newer Entries. Previous Entries →. One of the unexpected consequences of the ...

Living, loving, sharing our piece of France. Friday, January 24, 2014. Ou can't help but be attracted to the striking blue of these vintage soda bottles. They catch my eye whenever I see them at the markets and whilst they were a very common sight in the 1920's and 30's very few of them have survived intact. Bars and restaurant owners would have taken these to a facility where they would have been recharged. Can you use them? Saturday, January 18, 2014. First of all, gather everything that you need:-.

Château Chic Chat : February 2014
http://chateauchicdirect.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Living, loving, sharing our piece of France. Friday, February 21, 2014. The Jaz brand was born in the 1920's by a small group of engineers who realised there was a very lucrative market for alarm clocks. Getting the workforce up and out to work on time was not easy without them. The solution was to produce a quality, mass produced product that was still pleasing to the eye. Nobody really knows but possibly a cool name reflecting the musical influences sweeping the continent at the time. They are rustic a...

Living, loving, sharing our piece of France. Monday, February 23, 2015. Driving back early on Sunday morning through. It struck me just how handsome this town is. On a crisp, clear, blue skied morning with not a soul to be seen, the architectural backdrop seemed so much more apparent. Ight not always feature on a tourists 'to see' list, being a little overshadowed by it's cosmopolitan seaside neighbour La Rochelle, but it is totally worthy of a visit with abundance of cultural and fascinating attractions.

Château Chic Chat : Daily Grind
http://chateauchicdirect.blogspot.com/2014/09/daily-grind.html
Living, loving, sharing our piece of France. Friday, September 26, 2014. Vintage coffee mills or moulins à café are familiar sights at the brocantes of France. All shapes and sizes can be found, round, square or wall mounted. It seems every household once owned one. Often uncovered in poor condition now, occasionally we chance upon one that is a little more unusual or appealing to the eye. No Comments Yet, Leave Yours! 8592; Newer Entries. Previous Entries →.

Château Chic Chat : July 2014
http://chateauchicdirect.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Living, loving, sharing our piece of France. Friday, July 18, 2014. Antique café au lait bowls are something I always look for at brocantes. It's rare to find two the same and they come in an assortment of colours, patterns and shapes. Some are fluted with stripes and others have beautiful stencilled floral designs. It's hard to pick a favourite from my collection but I think if I was pushed I'd say the blue stencilled ones. 8592; Newer Entries. Previous Entries →. All too often the focus is on . This we...
