Enamoured with Enamel

One kind of truc that I never seem to tire of is enamelware.  Via my Etsy shop I have sold many of these pieces, picked up from brocante markets and vide greniers, to people all over the world.

They invariably have a few little chips here and there giving them their trademark rustic shabby chic appearance. Here are some favourites that I have had the pleasure of owning if only for a short time:-

A gorgeous 1950's kettle in a pale duck egg blue 

This lovely enamel box originally made for storing matches

This sunny yellow coffee pot with filter

I wish I had kept this stunning little jug but it sold so fast I didn't
 withdraw it from my shop on time

A 1950s industrial style alarm clock

One of many trivets I've sold - an enduring and popular item

Another favourite of mine - a delightful 1950s desk lamp

My stock is still on the low side at the moment which will hopefully be remedied by my long awaited visit to Angleterre next month.  However I do still have a lovely red trivet and a beautiful enamelled soap dish for sale although I don't expect they will hang around for long.

Roll on the Spring when the brocante season in France really begins and here's hoping I come across more of these enamelled gems.
