I've been living for a year in Bordeaux and I loved this brocante shop, she always had a terrific shop window, I'll put a picture in the challenge thread
I had a beige die cut shape ( a gift from a dutch craft friend) it was perfect to crochet all around, first I sponged the whole beige and it turned out a bit peach color, stamped the vintage image and embellished with paper roses and a bow

Your crochet frames always look fantastic, Anita. I can imagine something like this in your brocante (I still remember the first time I learned that word: we were camping in La Roche-Posay and there was a big brocante fair on, a lot of people on the campsite had come for it). Great vintage card inspired by your lovely shop.

Your pretty card could be featured in an antique shop window, Anita! The crocheted edging and tiny roses are the perfect vintage finish for your artwork.
