Simple ways to go classic with blue and white


Hey there Reader,

Scrolling around online looking or flipping through decor magazines, you've probably noticed how often blue and white shows up.

It’s one of those color combinations that has stuck around for centuries, and it still works in homes today without feeling trendy or overdone.

I just shared a new blog post all about decorating with blue and white: where the look comes from, why it’s lasted so long, and some simple ways to incorporate it into your home without changing everything.

If you enjoy collecting vintage pieces, this is one of the easiest styles to build slowly over time.

French First Arrivals in the Online Shop

Each week, new items sourced on my recent UK trip are being added to the new online shop. This week was all about France 🇫🇷 Half the items have already found their new forever home, but six more are still available.

Gorgeous painter's palettes, antique French missals, and one final almanac available.

Over on the Lost & Found Facebook page, I asked about everyone's favorite antique shows and flea markets. Several great ones were shared, have you heard of any of these or made a trip to one? Have another to suggest?

And of course, don't forget about my own upcoming event, the May Found Collection Weekend! Dates to be announced soon :)

I hope everyone has adjusted to Daylight Savings by now, I know I still had a hard time getting up this morning myself. But I do enjoy that extra hour of daylight in the evenings!

See you again next weel :)
