I love going through vintage stores, for me it's like a walk through a beautiful bygone era. I think the objects tell you so much about the people of that time, from the little kitchen utensils, to bedding. I think because these things are so personal, and a big part of everyday life it's easier to understand, and relate to the people of that time. I rarely get that same feeling looking at vintage shops online like I do with
French By Design on Etsy. I am a huge online shopper, but when it comes to certain things in person is just better, but
French By Design challenges this theory of mine.

The owner Si's motivation to start this shop was a result of her move to the US from her native land France, and wanting to find things that she so easily found at home. I think she does a great job of sourcing beautiful interesting pieces.

Happy Monday!
