La Croix Verte

I love this quilt, I slept in it

for sale on her page which I like very much

my bag

In the spring of 2011, my visa to UK ran out and I decided to buy a property in French countryside and travel between UK and France. While I was waiting for notaire to finalize the purchase and move in, I had to spend few weeks in Chambre d'hotes. I was staying at this place called La Croix Verte. I found it through UK travel site Alistair Sawday, Special Place to Stay.
The place or the breakfast was not that amazing although a small chateau in the back of the property was absolutely darling. What was amazing was that the French owners, who didn't speak English at all, were incredible artisans. The husband is a potter, who made all their kitchen ware and lamps and what not. The wife made incredible patchwork, all the gorgeous linens in the house are made and embroidered by her. I bought one of her bag when I left. They have a shop and studio in the property and are very French. They would not give me any discounts. You can discover her stuff through the links I posted and also buy her things through French version of Etsy, A Little Market( her line is called lilyabeth ) mind you, she is not cheap( or very friendly ) but I do really lover her stuff. Something I wanted to share from my travels. Enjoy!
