Shop Tour: Les Cabines d'Oscar.

I'm actually back home now having finished our visit to Family in France, and I'm already planning our next trip to re-visit all the places that I discovered while there. One little place that I came across in the lovely  town of Paimpol is this delightful  Baby and interiors shop Les Cabines d'Oscar, my step daughter Ella describes it as 'a very you shop' meaning it's right up my street, and she's not wrong, white wash painted walls and floors, filled with various items for home and baby many by Ferm Living, a real delight to come across.  From our lost in translation conversation with shop owner Claire Biron Plassard (our French is practically non-existence) we managed to work out that this little shop opened at the end of last year, and that there will be a website coming very soon, but for more info and pictures of Les Cabines d'Oscar visit the Facebook page here

En Vacances


Hello folks, we are on a bit of a holiday this week, on the spur of the moment we decided to head to France  for a little rest and relaxation.  An hours boat journey and we reach  St. Malo, then on to see family.


As always a trip to France just wouldn't be the same without a quick stop by IKEA, but as it was much the same as my last visit here, I only snapped this shot of this sofa from the new Stockholm collection, which wasn't in store when I visited last time. 





we are spending the week wandering around little French towns, stopping off for frites and tea, and popping into little French boutique shops, we make new discoveries each time we visit.

In the pretty little coastal town of Saint-Cast we ambled upon Côté plage, a lovely home and interiors shop beautifully decked out from top to bottom, its one I have ear marked to visit again!


our French voyage continues....
