French Market at the Red Shed Slide Show

What a great Sale! Thank you, Thank you, to all of you who braved the 105 temperatures to join us at our French Market Sale. We hope each of you love your little pieces of Paris that went home with you. For those of you who couldn't make it, here is a slide show. Its a long one, because I am just too tired to edit, but I think you can click and get a gallery view. Thanks to Michael Patras for getting up so early to take these great photos!

French Market at the Red Shed ** Tease 3 ** Fleur di Lis and Newly made French Antiques

Less than 48 hours until the French Market at the Red Shed. Wish we WERE in Paris, where the current temperature is a comfortable 79 F! Alas we are in Texas so we are going to try to put as much of the Market under Air Conditioning as possible! Possibly the final tease. We honestly have so much fun stuff, all we can do is give you a taste, then off to work. We have a lot to do before you arrive!
You will definitely find Fleur di Everything...........from drawer pulls
to Mammoth wall hangings......

Hooks of every shape and size.....

and Fleur of every Color...
Mirrors, Mirrors, Mirrors..............


(This one is an old shoe store mirror....Very Heavy! How fun would it be to have on your floor if you are a shoe addict!)
I have made one more full length French Perfume Mirror. French Perfume Company ephemera has been fused to the back, peeping through the silvering. One ONLY. If you are interested in this mirror, be sure to come at 8am, because they always sell quickly...(dog and cat in reflection not included)

Pendants, Crystals and Jewelry made from bits and pieces straight from the Paris Flea Market.....These darling pendants are reversible and have a different French scene on each side!
(Handmade by the Red Shed Girls, and each a "One of a Kind".
Giant crystals from the flea Market, also have another scene on the reverse side..


If you have loved our exclusive initial pendants, you will adore these! We have found initial patterns among our antique book plates, and look what fabulous necklaces they make! You WILL not see these patterns anywhere else!!We also have 10 beds, 4 dining sets, lots of fun outdoor decor, some upholstered furniture, dressers, occasional tables, many greats storage shelves and cubbies, oh yes....and of course...the antiques and bounty from the Paris Flea Market!!
See you Saturday, 8am. We will supply the cold drinks!
