Shopping Finds in San Quentin la Poterie
No matter how often I visit the villages near Uzes, I find something new and irresistible.
My destination was San Quentin la Poterie — the home of some of France’s most amazing potters.
This time, I did find a pottery shop I’d never seen before …
….but it was a little out-of-the-way gift shop that was a real gem.
From the outside, the shop was quite unassuming. In fact, I almost passed it by. However, the promise of tea and pastries advertised in the windowย drew me in.
At first glance, the store looked like many in the States, filled with little nick-nacks and kitchenware. It was not until I wandered into the rooms hidden behind that I discovered the true treasures.
Yes, this petite iron sofa would be perfect in my apartment! Oh, drool!
Too bad I was penny-pinching that day, or I would have fit it in the back trunk of my car, “Lucy.”
Beyond the little rooms and cubby holes in L’Effet Reve was the piรจce de rรฉsistance — a charming outdoor tea room…
… decorated to delightful perfection.
