A little bit about Sylvie...."I've been thrifting (and flea-ing!) for most of my life. Past endeavors: I owned a vintage clothing shop in Santa Cruz, and sold vintage clothing in a shop on Rue de Seine in Paris. Among my home design influences I include my time spent around gypsy musicians and circus performers in Paris.We've spent quite a lot of time in France with one of our family businesses, Paris Graves."
........I should have been there with you!!!!

Merci Chamara!
Aren't these women captivating. They have incredible sale at their house. I've bought my favorite jewelry pieces there. I wish you lived nearby!

beautiful!!!! I love Belly Dancing, I actually did the "Goddess Workout" for many years, it made me feel so beautiful, it also made me feel like curves were assets, not something to be shamed of.

Oh! I have to learn how to dance!!! I am looking into a class!
Great post! I've done some traditional (Egyptian) belly dancing but would love to have a go at the tribal kind. It sounds like just my thing. The costumes are just so inviting too. Maybe I'll be successful in finding a class/group when I move to England.
