A little about me.....

I’m Carol-Ann, and I have lived in rural France, for the past 27 years. my days are spent in the quiet company of my two sheep and three horses. Whether I'm out in the rolling countryside or tucked away in my studio with my two cats curled up nearby, I am constantly inspired by the delicate textures of nature that surrounds me and of the past.

My passion for antique textiles began with a single, cherished heirloom: a Huguenot pincushion handed down to me from Mother to Daughter. Holding that piece of history sparked a lifelong love for the stories woven into old fabric and the quiet joy of discovery.

Over the years, I have gathered a collection of authentic antique French laces and vintage buttons each piece made with craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated today and I enjoy continuing that search today.

Whether you are a slow stitcher looking for the perfect aged trim, a junk journaler seeking a fragment of history for your pages, or a fellow collector who simply appreciates the soul of a vintage find, I am delighted to open my collection and share these pieces with you. Carol-Ann 🌿
