Tracie from My Petite Maison

It is with great pleasure to introduce you to Tracie from My Petite Maison.

 

I first met Tracie through blogging a number of years ago, back when I was just a newbie blogger, still wet behind the ears. Tracie was one of the first to regularly comment on my blog, and I truly believe that’s what helped encourage me, even when there were days that I thought no one was listening. For those of you that already know Tracie, you can surely attest to her generous heart and enduring charm.

 

Tracie has a darling online shop, My Petite Maison, and I must admit I find myself gazing there often. As Tracie describes it, “We're a petite shop that simply purchases antique or vintage items we love to surround ourselves with in our own home”.

 

A girl after my own heart, Tracie is an avid flea market shopper, in search of one of a kind finds, specializing in all things unique.

 

 

I definitely have a soft spot for old religious statuaries, particularly the Infant of Prague (seen in center, below)..

 

   

A shop favorite of My Petite Maison, I love this petite Marie Antoinette vintage bottle. You can almost smell that sweet lavender through your monitor, I swear!  

 

 

Old French signage, yes please! Tracie, where ever do you find such wonderful things..

 

 

Another fabulous religious statue. Just look at that patina..

 

 

Speaking of patina, I’m simply loving the age on this set of little pétanque balls. The casual form of the game of Pétanque is played by about 17 million people in France, mostly during their summer vacations. Pétanque is seen as hip by many newcomers, old and young alike.

 

 

  If you have a moment, wouldn’t it be nice to stop by My Petite Maison today, browse her beautiful shop and say hello! She also has a delightful blog, which you can visit here.

  20. Hi Jennifer, I still remember the first time she commented on my blog. I was new too, and had always adored her blog from afar, never commenting. Then she left the sweetest message for me and I was on cloud nine. She is a blogging hero for me, because she went out of her way to make a brand new blogger feel welcome here.
    A wonderful post about a wonderful person.
