A French Country Friday Giveaway!
French Country coffee table books are one of my favorite things to use for decor inspiration, and I just recently discovered a new one, Country Brocante Style by Lucy Haywood.
It’s filled with gorgeous pictures of French inspired interiors using vintage and antique pieces found in the French and English markets.
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a giveaway, so I decided to do one today in honor of French Country Friday! Two lucky readers will win a copy of Country Brocante Style!
It’s easy to enter! Just leave a comment and tell me where is your favorite place to shop for vintage and antiques? Two winners will be chosen by random drawing and notified by email! Good luck!
There’s so much to see in today’s edition of French Country Friday, with lots of holiday inspiration! Be sure and visit all of the ladies and see what they are offering today!
I can’t believe October is coming to a close already and November (and the holidays) is right around the corner! We had a few days of lovely Autumn weather, and then it turned cold. I hope that’s not a predictor of how harsh our winter will be!
Enjoy!
Cheers, Cindy
Update: The giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to our winners: Debbie Juillerat and Jennifer Tilley!!

My favorite spot for treasured finds is the Consignment Barn a few miles from me. People consign
the loveliest items which I’m happy to “re-home”.
I shop thrift shops mostly, love your blog look everyday…..
I love thrift shops and estate sales, but also have several great antique malls where I live. I love your decor and it is AMAZING what you have accomplished in restoring your beautiful home!!
Not much French influence where I live:(.. I do follow the estate sales.
I love your blog, it’s so beautiful with soft colors.I am really into the French country look and I am inspired by your designs.
So enjoy your posts – I love exploring Antique Stores, 2nd Hand Stores, Thrift Stores, Flea Markets whenever I get the chance
Love French country books I have several and have not seen this one, looks like a good one to have.
For me it’s Warrenton, two times a year, fall and spring. Excellent bargaining. Fun finds!
I have so enjoyed following your page on Facebook for years! I love to shop a place in Tulsa called Spacek’s Antiques. He carried many large pieces from Europe. I haven’t been since I have most of the larger things I need, but following you has given me so much inspiration to change things up a bit and look for other pieces that better define my style! Thank you for all the inspiration!!! I would love to win a copy of this book! Blessings!
Antique auctions, estate sales, and shops have been great resources for items we enjoy in our home. I would enjoy browsing the pages of this book. Thanks for the chance to win it.
I was spoiled for many years. My mother-in-law was an antiques dealer. She had excellent taste and her shop was my favorite place to go treasure hunting. Sadly she is no longer with us. I now shop estate sales and auctions always feeling her presence in the love she passed on to me for all things vintage. Thank you for sponsoring this book giveaway. I would love to win a copy.
My favorite place for antique finds are thrift stores and Craigslist. Twice a year I hit up Round Top.
I love picture books. It inspires me to keep creating. I like to look for treasures in big cities. The City of Los Angeles (California), is about an hour drive from me and there are so many treasure haunts to explore. From thrift stores to consignment shops and everything in-between.
Thanks Cindy for the opportunity to win this special book!
My favorite places to get goodies are auctions and estate tag sales, on the last day, things are half price! We have found some beautiful things, and it’s all about the hunt!
What a what a beautiful book. Most of my “Brocante” finds come from antique shows I participate in with dealers from different parts of the country.
What a nice book! It would be lovely to win it. I like to shop estate sales in the most affluent areas of the city, and when I am in Fairhope, I like to visit the Crown and Colony stores, especially Aubergine.
I think probably just antique stores. Beautiful book!
I’m very spoiled to be close enough to go to Scott Antique Market near Atlanta each month. They have an amazing array of items in a variety of price points, and you just never know what you’ll find. Thanks for the giveaway; it looks like a great book!
Beautiful book Cindy! I love French Country and I love shopping at our local antique store in Collierville Tennessee. It is Sheffield Antique and I believe you have shopped there.
Hi Cindy!
I’ve been going to Round Top for many years. I also shop at antique stores in San Antonio, Austin, Comfort and Fredericksbu.
My favourite antique and vintage store is Franktown Revival located in an old Methodist church in Franktown, Ontario. I had so many to choose from as I am surrounded by small country towns with a ton of great antique stores and thrift shops.
In Oklahoma, I have a lot of options…it’s all about ‘the hunt’ and I don’t limit my ‘hunting’ to any one type of store. Love hidden gems!
I have recently discovered “French Country.” I love your blog! Such inspiring content. We have several thrift stores, goodwill and antiques shop within a 15 mile radius of my town. It is always a thrill to find something you can use and at a great price, too!
I just attended the Vintage Marketplace today in my town! It’s here twice a year! Love it!
Thanks for the giveaway!
When I lived in Texas, I loved antiquing at McKinney square and Canton’s First Monday market. But, now that we’ve retired to Florida, my best results are at estate sales.
I live in a quiet little town, outside Seattle called Port Orchard. They have several vintage antique stores in their charming downtown area. One of my favorites is Josephine’s. I got a gorgeous used French Country white desk made by Ethan Allen. Also a vintage chaise lounge. Both were a score. I’m always checking in for new items and they have lots of treasures at other stores too.
I love to stop by small out of the way “thrift” shops, i never know what I’m going to find.
I’m in Florida but I love to shop in vintage stores all throughout!
Brocante style is my dream!❤️
My favorite is the Springfield Antique Show and Flea Market right here in Ohio. So much fun being an early bird at this market! I would love the book to browse the pages for beautiful ideas and inspirations!
First off that book looks just dreamy! My favorite place to shop for antiques is the old cotton mills in Monroe Georgia beautiful old French and European antiques and the prices are really fair !
My favorite places to shop for antiques are my neighbourhood junk stores. Thanks for the chance to win.
Here in Australia, it is difficult but not impossible to find vintage/antique items, but with a good eye, patience and adventure, I go to OP shops(thrift stores) and local garage sales(yard sales) it always surprises and thrills me to find some beauties to take home and enjoy for years to come.
My favorite place to shop is Aubergine in Fairhope ! I love this store!
Thank you o much for all your lovely content. You were the second blog I discovered and I am an avid fan. I would love to have this darling book in my collection. I saw this on line and have it in my save for later column. I never even was able to afford Courtney Allison’s book so I would be honored to own this book..Thank you for the opportunity to try to own this.
I just moved to Florida from Colorado so I am still navigating my way around the antique stores near me. But no matter here or a Colorado I always enjoy a good thrift store, Habitat stores, ARC and the Goodwill stores. I have found many antiques over the years shopping these stores.
I love to go to Nashville Flea Market and Franklin has an old factory that now has shops in it. I love the antique shop up front that is fabulous!
Hi Cindy!! Edith & Evelyn is my favorite blog and my favorite place to shop is the antiques market in Nice, France!!
I love finding my vintage treasures at a local antique shop called Magpie in Ripon, California and at nearby Sue’s Barn with great finds from France (only open twice a year and excited it’s going on now through this Monday). I’ve got to get there! Thank you for the opportunity to win a copy of Country Brocante. =)
I do love stepping into the beauty of French Country Fridays! My favorite place to shop in Fort Myers, Florida is a charming place called Farmhouse 44. The owner is a marvelous, warm and welcoming woman! You never know what incredible treasures you might find. Each visit is an adventure.
My first choice would be the regular market in Isle sur la Sorgue or in Nice. I only shopped them each once, but it spoiled me. Totally. I hope I get to return soon!
There are several thrift/antique stores located close together in Riverside that I enjoy visiting. I want to go back to a large antique shop in Old Town Temecula. It would take all day to go through every room! My favorite finds were unexpected–a vintage table at a florist shop and a 1928 phonograph found on the curb!
My favorite place to shop is called Aubergine .
Hi there! I’d personally love to “antique shop” at your moving sale, lol! Best of luck on your new adventure! I totally understand your reasons for moving and they seem straight from the heart. I live in upstate NY and love the Stormville Flea Market as well as the yearly Rhinebeck Antique show. Your love of sheep can also be indulged at the Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool fest if you’re ever up this way
Happy Fall, Happy Friday! I would love to shadow you for a day looking for vintage treasures, chatting for ideas all over a friendly cup of tea. Until that someday in time, estate & garage sales will have to do. Nothing like hearing the story behind your amazing finds can make my day…
Shops are fun, but I have to say my favorite places are estate sales, garage sales, and sometimes flea markets! Its like treasure hunting for me. You never know what you might find!!
I love to shop at Heritage House in Denham Springs, LA. It’s where I first became a vendor. The owners are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. They are always welcoming and have such a good mixture of what I call old school antiques as well as newer trends. Just wonderful!!
My favorite post on Fridays. Thank you Cindy . I love to shop the antique show in Saline, Michigan, the Davisburg, Michigan Antique Market. Have a blessed day everyone.
I love to shop at Vintage a Gather Market, Roses and Rhubarb and of course Midtown Mercantile Merchants…all in the Old Pueblo…Tucson, AZ!

I shop often at the Corner Cupboard in Rhode Island. A local consignment shop with treasures around every corner.
Hi Cindy, I look forward to French Country Fridays for great ideas and the “why didn’t I think of that?” Lol. My favorite place to “shop” for antiques is my relative’s hand me downs, those are the best!!! Local flea markets, garage sales come in 2nd.
Best Regards, Christine
My favorite places are local antique shops, thrift stores and TJMax for reproductions.
Here in the West ( Los Angeles,Ca ) Pasadena City College on the first Sunday of the month and The Rose Bowl Flea market on The second Sunday of the month are my favorites. Pasadena Antique Center & Annex are also great but on the
pricier side. For us who don’t win the book thank you for featuring Country Brocante Style by Lucy Haywood at least we know we can buy it and add it to our library of inspirational French Books.
We have may antique stores in Placerville Ca., I shop them all.
Edith and Evelyn Vintage would be my first pick. I am not familiar with other vendors at this time but know that Cindy is authentic!
Hi Cindy,
Since I live only 8 miles from Round Top, TX my favorite place to shop is the Round Top Antique Fair which is held twice a year, Spring and Fall. Plus there’s other places that are open year around. I love what you’ve done to your home and sorry to hear you have to leave it, but understand whating to be closer to family. I look forward to seeing what you do to your next home.
My very favorite place to is Chateau Sonoma in Sonoma. I live in San Diego but my daughter lives near Sonoma, so it is always a must for me to stop by. They have such amazing finds! They also offer a trip to France once a year to comb the countryside for finds. I hope to make the trip with my friend in the future!
Long Beach flea market because Rose Bowl flea market is so far away from my house. Round Top is on my bucket list.
I love to shop for antiques at our large thrift stores in town, so many people downsize it’s a great place to pick up bargains. I also like to visit Round Top antiques fair twice a year.
This looks like an amazing book! I love to shop at Oddfellows Antiques in Asheville NC. They import some great European pieces. Thanks for the chance to win!
Well, I live in British Columbia, Canada. In the area I live in there’s not a lot of cute little shops to find vintage/antiques. If I’m looking for any I’ll drive to Fort Langley, BC which has an old part with a few little shops including the “little White House”. My mom used to find a ton of antiques but at the moment it’s all in storage due to her having to move in with me because of health reasons.
my favorite place to find vintage and antique pieces is estate & garage sales… so much fun because you never know what you will find
My favorite place to shop for vintage and antique treasures is in my own backyard of downtown McKinney, TX. The square has fabulous shops filled with wonderful antiques and French treasures. I also enjoy going to shows like Scott’s Market and Round Top. What a beautiful book….would love to win it.

Hazel, Kentucky is my all time favorite place to shop for vintage and
antiques.
I love shopping for vintage and antiques at Catholic Charities! I find a lot of great things!
We don’t really have any nice places to shop for great vintage find in our area but when I get the chance we drive to Leesburg Va area as they have several great ones. Thanks for offering the giveaway, the book looks wonderful.
What a lovely book. I will definitely have to order if I don’t win. My most favorite place to shop is Lonestar Antiques near Fort Worth. It has such wonderful creative booths filled with treasures. Thank you so much for your blog! It is so inspirational!
I love your blog and your decorating style. I visit Clinton, Tn., for vintage and antique shopping. I also check out several thrift stores in the Knoxville area.
I moved from Kentucky to Illinois a few years ago and I don’t really feel like I have found my vintage shopping niche. I was in Kentucky so long, I felt like I knew every place well. I guess I would say here my favorite place is Vintage Bliss. It’s fun to get out and explore Wisconsin and they always have lovely displays.
Favorite places to shop? Facebook Marketplace, estate sales, Goodwill or the Restore. Found a beautiful mantle clock for a few dollars because no one cared about the patina of this gorgeous item. Found an antique pizelle iron in the south. No one knew what it was, what it was for or that these are handed down from generation to generation. Was practically paid to take it off their hands 🙂
I love books and using them for decor. I’m always searching for French decorating books and this one is new to me also!
My favorite places to shop are Estate sales, antique shops, Round top during antique week, etsy, and Goodwill. I love to bring my 11 year old daughter with me. She loves the thrill of the hunt as well! I have been fighting cancer for a second time and we are planning a trip to France to celebrate when I beat it again. I dream of shopping the brocantes!!!
Thank you for the opportunity to win!
I love to shop for vintage French items at The Mercantile in Antique Mall in Fort Worth or Inessa Stewart in Dallas. Both are wonderful!
Right now my favorite place to find vintage and antique pieces is estate sales. I am in the country and there aren’t many other options around here. But no matter where you live, estate sales can hold marvelous treasures.
Hi Cindy. This book looks absolutely lovely. My favorite place for vintage and antiques is a charming little district in a little town near me in Easthampton. Always come home with treasures. Thank you for the chance. Cindy 🙂

Hi Cindy! Thanks for the giveaway! We have a place near us called Cauley Square and they have great finds. However, in Panama City, Florida there are two stores that I adore. They’re Turtle Girls and The Sandbox. We’re hoping to move there soon and I can’t wait to find all sorts of coastal treasures!
Looks like a great find! Thanks for the book recommendation! My favorite spots for vintage and antiques are two little mom and pop shops in Decorah, IA and two larger consignment shops in towns about an hour away. A larger store called Kismet in Rochester, MN has all kinds of wild antique finds from rustic to mid-century… Savvy consignment in Onalaska, WI also has a great selection. Both have a huge turnover so you need to grab things when you see them. You never know what treasures you will find.
Vintage and antique shopping is my favorite and I’m fortunate to live in Atlanta where we have two great monthly markets.
The Scott Antique market on the second weekend each month has tremendous variety and a lot of French import vendors. I recently got new dining chairs from a friendly French man who sells furniture from France. Lakewood 400 is the third weekend and they also have interesting and various vendors with more focus on accessories and decor. The giveaway book looks like a dream read! Thanks for offering it to two lucky (ME, me, me!) readers/commentors.
What a fantastic book. Would love to be a winner. My sources for vintage and antiques are Shabbyfrufru, Cedar Hill Farmhouse, French Country Cottage, a very special French Country Thrift store in my town, Etsy and of your your website and store.
Wow; looks like a beautiful book! My favorite place to shop for antiques would have to be the Edith and Evelyn Vintage Etsy Shop. I haven’t been able to find much locally, and can always count on your shop for beautiful things.
I travel for work so I love to stop in the small towns in my area. My favorite is a antique store in McKinney Texas.
We live near Tarpon Springs, Florida where they have many lovely antique stores and it is wonderful when I can go there. I have MS so it is difficult for me to get around.I am fortunate we have online shopping to allow me to look for treasures. Having this book would be such an amazing daily “visit” into the French Country world I love! Thank you for this giveaway.
That book looks fabulous. My favorite place to shop is our local antique stores. We don’t have very good flea markets here in Spokane Washington but I have found some amazing things at great bargains at our antique stores.
My favorite place to shop is the thrift shops, consignment shops and design shops in Cashiers, North Carolina.
Love French Country Fridays! I enjoy shopping local estate sales. The thrill of the hunt always gets the adrenaline going.
