French flea market (brocante) style is very appealing. I haven't ever been to France but, I have stared at these images for so long on blogs and in magazines I decided it was time to try the look.
I was timid about this French style. It has a reverence about it. I am sure it is all the religious artifacts used when styling this look. It seems to be popular for a reason. The beauty of the images; religious artifacts and white, seem to bring comfort. The radiance of this style draws you in for a moment of peace.
I just used things I owned to copy the look of French brocante, nothing is authentic.

Very pretty, Sherry.
I absolutely love the way you draped the rosary around the statuary. You certainly captured the French style with the monochromatic color scheme. Beautiful tablescape!
You've got it all together here, a perfect vignette.
Guess who hasn't even heard of that style? Yep. Me. I love it. It does, indeed, have a reverence to it. I love the centerpiece with the statue and the rosary. That's really lovely. For lack of a better word, it's "quiet".
Beautiful.
So french!!! the table is lovely. All your pieces are so perfect together.
Oh you did a splendid tabletop Brocante style interpretaion! Beautiful.
You captured the French style perfectly, Sherry. This is really beautiful....Christine
This is a very pretty table scape! I would like to invite you to link this up to my new link party, Masterpiece Monday, at Boogieboard Cottage. The link will be up all week. Take care, Mary :O)
Very pretty! I am loving the black and white....Blessings my friend!
Sherry, I think you did a wonderful job! Love what you did here. It is just stunning! That angel is the perfect centerpiece, and I like the way you have draped her in the rosary beads. I think you nailed this one, my friend! Cute plates, too. I shot a French tablescape (or my version) some time back, and seeing yours made me remember it. Maybe I'll get around to posting it for Valentine's Day or not. ;-)
Happy Tablescape Thursday...
XO,
