French Vanilla, Victoria BC

Not so long ago, I stumbled upon this store in Victoria,
  FRENCH VANILLA.

And what a wonderful find!

Warning:

 Picture heavy post.. so

go get a cup of tea or coffee, and 

 enjoy the tour of this

 gorgeous store.

As you approach French Vanilla

you are greeted by a window display that

draws you in and already has you writing 

your wish list.

I always manage to carve out

some time to go and do a little

shopping at this store, it doesn't

matter how short our trip to 

Victoria is!

I love how beautifully 

Sheila, the owner, has layered this boutique.

After we got back from shopping/

picture taking I was looking through the

pictures and realized....

I forgot to get some of these sweet candles 

for myself!  Next time.

Can you see that beautiful moss nest

inside the hydrangea arrangement?

Sheila makes these!

And who doesn't love birds??

I love the way she has layered

linens, starting with a french

 table runner and then

adding a linen placemat on top.

Perfect.

Crowns, dishes, candles,

glasses, napkins...

isn't that cook book holder

sweet!

Lavender, chalkboards, plaques...

This makes me want to repaint my 

laundry room.

Look at the detail on the clocks face.
 I have a thing for clocks...
(just look at my pinterest page.)
:/

Dishes, tea towels,

you need some serious time

 to take it all in.

I have that galvanized crown from
the last time I was in.
It works in all my rooms.

There is a whole other side of this 

store that I don't have any pictures of!

This was not a paid advertisement...

I just thought you would

enjoy the eye candy!
