Next month I’m traveling to the countryside of France. As I usually do when I travel, I am hoping to pick up some beautiful things for my house at the local stores and flea markets. Since I have been inspired by everything France recently, I decided to obtain some lovely goods online that are certain to bring a little bit of the French style to your home without the expense of the airplane ticket! Enjoy.
