This is an absolutely gorgeous French paperback book from 1926. What makes this book so special is its deckled edge.
Deckle Edge books are those that have unevenly cut pages. Centuries ago, it used to be that paper sheets were made individually on a deckle. When the papery slurry {wet paper pulp} was spread out, some would seep under the screen and create a rough edge to the paper. Modern machines now create perfectly cut edges, but books with a Deckle Edge are now seen as higher quality and thus, have a higher price.

This is a 3×4 cotton drawstring pouch filled with dried Grosso lavender buds that I harvested from my own yard. The bags have been custom-stamped with the word “LAVANDE” which is French for “lavender”.
Grosso is an English hybrid variety that produces one of the strongest fragrances among lavenders, regularly used for sachets and cosmetic oils. You can use a lavender sachet in cabinets or drawers to create a fresh scent, or under your pillow as a sleep aid.
If ever you feel the scent has faded, you can gently squeeze the bag to release more lavender oil from the buds. Alternatively, you can add a few drops of lavender essential oil should you wish.

Vintage metal clock face from France that features white face with black numbering. Would look beautiful propped up on a shelf, nestled among books, or even hanging on the wall! This clock face actually used to hang in my own home as part of an eclectic gallery wall (see photo). There are three small scratches on the III (see photo).
Clock face measures 10.5 inches in diameter by .75 inches in depth (due to the metal shafts on back).
