Yeah I know, I could probably put up that same post title each Monday, but this week there is a special tingle in the air.
In amongst the excitement and bustle of the start to school holidays here, I hope this week to meet the team from Atelier de Campagne! Trinidad, and Johan (hereafter known as 'the boys' ). They are in France on a mega summer buying tour, and it seems that their path will bring them close enough to stop off for a meal with us.
I am so looking forward to meeting the boys, and hearing more about their work and lifestyle. I'm dying to know what amazing treasures they have found so far, and which I guess will be shipped back to California later in the summer or early fall.
They are very excited at the moment to be named as the US distributor to a beautiful new book, available since April this year. Vintage by Nina is written by Nina Hartmann, the well known Swedish interior stylist.
I am definitely after a copy, it looks quite wonderful, with beautiful styling and great ideas. Knowing how to 'stage' a home and make it look this stunning and this comfortable is a true gift.
If you would like a copy of the book, just drop the boys at Atelier de Campagne a mail, and they shall wave a magic wand!
Nina Hartmann, the only person I know with more white tureens than me!!
On another note, thank you to everyone who has been asking for news of our horse Quick. He is doing well in his stable, quite calm and well behaved and of course incredibly happy to see us when we stop by. There will be follow-up x-rays in 10 days time, so we hope that the bone is mending well.

Sharon, somehow I missed your post about Quick the first time around. Oh my goodness! I am so grateful to hear that he is doing well--you must be so relieved. How frightening. I know when we had our horses we lived in fear of such accidents. Thank goodness horses have such a strong will and character.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you for all that you must have gone through...
xo,
Heather
Love the photo of the horse in the green field! Hope he does better and better! So gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteQue lindo, eu gosto muito de cavalo. Em minha infância tinha um cavalo. Pensava que eu era uma índia correndo pelos campos.
ReplyDeletetenha uma ótima semana.
So glad that Quick is on the mend! :) Sounds like a very busy week for you. Don't forget to take time for yourself!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Quick is doing well. Thanks for the info on the book.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon Quick! I will check out the book. Swedish interior design is always very stylish.
ReplyDeleteI missed the post about your horse but I am glad to hear he is doing well. Our summer vacation from school officially begins today as well - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon!
ReplyDeleteSay hello to the boys for me! Both are genuine and kind and I have had the pleasure to get to know and become friends with them this past year.
I LOVE shopping for french brocante in their backyard garden, and lucky for me their garden is only a one hour drive from me! The next best thing will be antiquing with you on the tour in September! I'm saving up and cannot wait to bring back some treasures for my little european farmhouse!
Dear Sharon,
ReplyDeletewhat lovely things from nina....I wish I could buy everything.
Hope your hors get better and better...it´s a very nice photo!!!
Best wishes for you, herzlichst Flori
Hi Sharon, really pleased that Quick is on the road to recovery, and that he is coping well with box-rest. It sounds as though he has a super temperament!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharon for including us and Nina in your post. We are so looking forward to meeting you on Thursday. This will be a treat!
ReplyDelete"The Boys" ;)
How very exciting about your upcoming meeting with The Boys. Noticing their post above, here is also a cyber greeting to The Boys from Atelier de Campagne.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update on Quick's progress. Happy to know his recovery is going well. Waiting to hear if it's good news from the Vet in 10 days.
I love Atelier de Campagne, even though I'm too far to visit them, but I love their blog. What a dream job to go shopping in France!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time meeting them.
I raise a glass to 'the boys!' I love them!!! They are very genuine, gentile, intelligent and generous of spirit! And a hoot, too! I can't what to see the treasures that they bring home! They are far from me but our paths cross often and I know I'll be at their next sale, even if I have to drive 6 hours to get there!!! I see the great things that I have bought from Trino, Johan and Martin everyday and think of them each and every time I savor my treasures. I am having a huge antique sale of my own this Friday and Saturday...saving money for MY trip to Normandy next spring. It is my hope to rent your guesthouse during that time....
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear of your time together! Hugs all around! Good boy, Quick, for remaining calm. Healing thoughts.
xoxo, Chris
