About

ohlala!

Rubbish at French while at school in Helensburgh, Scotland, I knew it’d be a challenge when my husband and I moved to France in the early 1990’s. Several moves around France and many years later I think I’m getting there!

Alsace, is the smallest region in France and from my village at the foot of the Vosges mountains, it’s only a 1 hour drive to Germany or Switzerland!

In love with vintage homeware and especially French pieces, this place is perfect – there are country markets, flea markets and antique fairs galore : indoors, out doors, week days, week-ends, public holidays… and I search and rummage….sometimes my husband has to take refuge in the local café! I began seeking several items of French Vintage for close friends and then in March 2013 I opened my shop shortly after the youngest of my 2 children strode off to uni. It’s been good therapy!
