Due to the fact that we had taken the plane over here I was not in the market to buy furniture. I could have cried when I saw what was on offer but I had come for lace, leather and vintage jewelry. I did pick up this beautiful collar to be placed on the neck of this mannequin, which I bought on my last buying trip to Paris, when it is recovered in natural linen, so all was not lost.
On Saturday I am off on the leather trail at the Saint-Oeun market. I have two of the most amazing vintage Louis armchairs to cover. Check back to see what I found. I know from my last visit that there is a stall that sells every colour of leather skin known to man.

The lace is beautiful! And what a great idea to recover the form in linen! I almost bought a form recently (my daughter is a design student) but the fabric was in such bad shape, I hesitated. It didn't occur to me that I could have recovered it the same way I do chairs. So I'll be on the lookout for another, thanks to your tip.
Love the mannequin.
DELIGHTFUL! I dream of having an old manniquin in my studio some day too! What a find!!!
Lace, leather...
And any whips?
Very pretty!
Can't wait to see the lace on your mannequin. Show us what you bought to cover your chairs! Do you do it yourself?
