Welcome to Friday Field Trip Trouvé. I recently went looking for some Annie Sloan chalk paint. A local store called Trouvé carried the line of paints and waxes. So I made the trip. Upon entering the store I found so much more and was ever so happy to have my camera on hand.
My heart began to beat wildly when I spotted the French bottle drying rack.
Friday Field Trip Trouvé
The antique bread-boards were just gorgeous. The second one from the top was my favorite.
On a bottom shelf in the linen area, I spied a scalloped quilt that made me want to slumber under its beauty.
One can never have enough white Faience and yellow confit pots.
The collection of blue and white pottery was enviable but it was the sideboard that really caught my eye.
I could just imagine it repurposed as a kitchen island. The patina up close was amazing.
Out the back door where still more treasures were waiting.
Isn’t this antique birdhouse just so darling and quaint?
There were a few quintessential French bistro tables scattered across the courtyard.
Birdhouses or perhaps… patio lanterns.
An antique market basket.
Across the courtyard is another area that offers clothing. I spied so many lovely frocks but my imagination was captured by the use of an iron headboard as a clothing rack.
Spools of twine and jewelry. What more could a girl want?
So go visit Joan and Krissie and tell them that I sent you.
Happy Shopping,
Laura

Swoon!
I think it's best for my pocketbook if I stay away. The headboard for hanging clothes is pure genius, I love that. I might have to pin that yellow shelves with the white dishware, such a great pop and I'm a sucker for white.
What a beautiful store! I wish you had discovered it about a month ago so I could have gone too!
Ohhh that looks like so much fun! WIsh I lived in AZ! But alas, I am here in Virginia. I'll have to go treasure hunting elsewhere. 🙂
That's a place full of treasures!! Love those chairs in the firts pic!

A truly fabulous shop! Did you make it out of there with just paint?
I have an identical iron headboard out in the garden…hmmmm.
Laura, once again…you light my day with inspiration!

My finances would be in ruins if I went to that store. Oh, the vintage garden pieces! ~ Maureen
Oh my this shop is divine!! I would give almost anything for those vintage birdcages!
That shop looks lovely and fun, Laura. Did you get the ASCP? If so, which color? Ann
What a great store, Laura! I'm sure I would have spent quite a bit of time there soaking that all up!
Je me suis régalée aujourd'hui en me promenant dans votre blog… Tant de belles choses à admirer et d'idées à se souvenir…
Merci pour ce partage.
Gros bisous
Oh my word. I am in love. I need to go and see what all they have. Looks like such a great place. Let me know when you want to play and we'll head to the GW. Hugs, Marty
Hi lovely lady.
I love Vuntage and the Market Basket would be in my kitchen with the sideboard. Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my Easter Tablescape. I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend.

Oh my, how did you resist buying?? That shop has fabulous stuff!! I'd have a hard time just window shopping in the store.
Thanks for stopping by, Mary Alice
Oh darlin' my heart skipped a beat when I saw that charmin' little birdhouse. I'm smitten to say the least!
What a wonderful place!
Have yourself an awesomely blessed weekend sweetie!!! :o)
Their houses were photographed in the December issue of Traditional home a few years back. They were lovely!

OH Laura, What a fabulous shop. I am sighing while strolling through your photographs. I love everything here. The pretty blues in the dining room and such gorgeous colors in the quilt. Love that! Shelves of faience would keep in looking all day. I love everything outside too………..”sigh”……….thanks for sharing.

Oh Wow! That place looks like an incredible place to shop! What incredible eye candy! Thanks for sharing.
I want one of those french bottle racks in the WORST way! Was it at all a reasonable price??
Arizona is on my top 5 list of places to visit. This winter was so hard on me mentally that I thought of you and Arizona daily I think. I'm coming one of these years I promise. I just cannot take Ohio's cold much longer.
What a pretty shop! LOVE all the Frenchiness! And garden stuff! Thanks for taking us along!
What a gorgeous little store! I love local shoppes – they have such treasures in them. That sideboard is an absolute gem! So beautiful!
I'm trying to figure out if there is anything I don't like……..hmmm. NOPE!!!!
wow, lots of great stuff…I have seen her on Cote de Texas I think? LOVE!!
That's not a store; it's a little piece of Inspiration Heaven. Just one beautiful thing after the other.
What a beautiful shop. It is waaayyy too far away from my home for me to ever visit but I love having the chance to see their beautiful store through your post.
Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
What an amazing place,wish we had somewhere like that here.
Love it all.

I love finding places like this. This is just an adorable place.
What a treasure trove of items!
Wonderful I'd have been swooning all over that place.
Love the bistro set, and the urns!
I would love to go browsing in this store. Wish I lived closer. Looks like a beautiful place : )

This one of the most beautiful stores I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing it with us. And, re. the VW bus. It was the coolest one I'd ever seen. Have a good rest of the weekend.
Blue and white is SO hard to find now, around here. I would have GRABBED one (or all) of those jars!!!!! And I have wanted a yellow confit pot for quite awhile. Great store!!! XO, Pinky
