<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> eager students. The essential ingrediens for us are to maintain an open mind</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and a good disposition. We try not to rest on our laurels and strive to keep</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> moving and keep our creative juices flowing, as well as our sleeves rolled up</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I am dusting off and cleaning the cob webs. It's been so long since we last posted! Getting everything ready for our last container, doing some home improvement and construction, learning about the social media and about distributing books has kept us quite busy. Some of you see us on Facebook. We have been building our presence there and meeting a lot of new friends and customers. We have also attended more antique shows and events and the attendance to our sales and such have improved. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We are very grateful and feel fortunate to meet so many new people. </span></div>

We have removed some of the gardening beds and are working on creating a roomier space. We now have a small patio at the front and expanded the porch, so we have a new "sitting area."</span></div>

It has been an arduous but welcome new learning experience. It feels good however to be representing such a fine and creative woman and was a delightful experience to have met her last summer. She actually brought all sorts of party goods and we celebrated my birthday in Maroilles, the day before an antique fair. Tore, her husband made special treats and drinks for us.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Learning how to navigate Facebook and trying to not spend too much time on it has been a struggle for me. Aye, aye , aye! First, Johan and Martin had trouble convincing me to get on it, and now they have a hard time getting me to stay off it! It is an odd animal, Facebook. On the one hand, it can be a magnificent tool for networking and gaining visibility and on the other it can draw you in, and suddenly you realize you've spent hours on it. I have, however, met many awesome and delightful people, some of whom, turn up at our events bearing gifts. Thank you to all the folks whom have brought or sent us gifts, but also given us the gift of your friendship and support. Thanks also to all the folks whom have also blogged about us! </span></div>

But even before that, he has to prepare all the paperwork and documentation with details for shippers, brokers, customs, etc</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Our gratitude to all of you who have been following us, constantly commenting, and providing feedback and support as we develop. And a warm welcome and thank you to all our new followers.

These new venues that are accessible to us via the new and ever-changing technology field, can be very fun and also very casual, but I still think that it is on us as individuals to use them in the best responsible and respectful way. And it doesn't mean that because it is casual, we create blogs haphazardly. I enjoy reaching out to you via this blog and I want you to come back and enjoy perusing through it. </span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I could see how some of the bloggers were really dedicated and paid attention to detail. They took pride in what they delivered. One of my favorite blogs was Trouvais by Trish.</span><a href="http://trouvais.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">Here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> To my surprise, she blogged about us one day. It turns out she had seen Trinidad selling at the Alameda </span><a href="http://trouvais.com/2010/10/03/early-at-the-flea-market/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> and later she came to one of our container sales and again blogged about it. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://trouvais.com/page/2/?s=atelier+de+campagne&search=Go" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">Here</span></a> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Meeting her really prompted me to work on creating our own blog. We also discovered that Christina from Greige had included some of our photos in one of her postings.</span><a href="http://greigedesign.blogspot.com/2010/07/atelier-de-campagne.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">Here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> and </span><a href="http://greigedesign.blogspot.com/2011/08/atelier-de-campagne.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> </span></span><br />

I staged it with the items we had just brought in our most recent container, took some photos and posted them. My goal was to create a blog that would cover the different styles of merchandise we offer to our clients, which we bring from Europe. I wanted to create vignettes of items to combine and integrate in interior as well as exterior environments. I also wanted to post about vacation spots, other businesses, our travels and our experiences hunting for antiques and other treasures in the markets of France and throughout Europe. I had all this in my mind but the truth was I did not feel equipped with the writing skills to do it. My first postings had but a few descriptive sentences of the content. We also didn't get but a couple of comments. </span><br />

I am a self-admitted technophobe and was definitely not interested in blogging or even following blogs. Johan tried to get me excited about it, but I wasn't buying it. Teasingly, I told him he just wanted an excuse to "play house" which is what I used to call the time he'd spend on creating vignettes and taking photos even before he started blogging. "Johan, did you spend all day playing house?" I'd ask him when I'd get home and he'd have some area staged in a special way. Even though I teased him about it, I recognized his talent and the importance of experimenting with design. He'd always do a great job at our store, and at the fairs and gift shows.</span><br />

I am following your blog, but you guys have not blogged in a few weeks." I didn't know what to say, so naturally I blamed Johan. LOL! I said, "You know, Johan has been busy and he is just learning." "Well," he said, "I think he is doing great and he needs to do it more often." I remember calling Johan that night and saying playfully, "Johan, your fans are clamoring for more postings! "Some guy came up to me and was somewhat upset you haven't posted lately." Johan followed the humor and said, "What? Fame at last!" I said, "Seriously Johan, people who read the blog will expect more constancy." He laughed and said, "People who read the blog? Trinidad, I barely write a sentence or two. You should write it, you are so good with words and your writing is more engaging" I did not want to give in because I was still working as a consultant and teacher educator and flying all over the country. Then a few other people blogged about us and I started getting excited. </span><br />

I am getting ready for bed when Johan is waking up and vice-versa so we have to find the right time to get it all together. Tonight, we have already talked a few times on the phone. We are not always in agreement as to which photos to use and how much text to include. Even though I have always enjoyed writing, I was timid about sharing my writing publicly. Not that I now think of myself as a "professional" writer, blogging seemed casual enough as to not feel intimidated to make my musings public, and you are all so forgiving. </span><br />

Our gratitude to our fellow bloggers who have taught us so much, and to all the folks who have given us more visibility by blogging about us. We are so indebted to so many folks! We are looking forward to another year and plan to include more topics. This first year we tried to establish ourselves and focused mostly on ourselves: our merchandise, events, etc. Our plan now is to be more inclusive of others, but continue to share about our work and of course images of the treasures we find for you.</span><br />

Sometimes I get to hear these two (Johan and Trinidad) argue about the topic or the photos or whether the posting will be done by a certain time or when to post, but I have also listened to the joy when they read the comments, and enjoy when customers approach us at the fairs and exclaim,"I follow your blog! I love it!" As we traveled on our buying trip through Europe last summer, which was a first for me, we would all take photos and Trinidad and Johan posted along the way.</span><a href="http://atelierdecampagneantiques.blogspot.com/2011/07/findings-along-way.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">Here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">.

The kind that attract me most are the Maison de Maître. These were the homes of the upper class in the 18th and 19th century. I get carried away imagining how I would decorate such a home, were I living in that era.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The detail in each item shows craftsmanship in every piece. The sculpting of flowers in the furniture, plaster and wood ornaments in mirrors as well as ironwork of window guards, garden doors, and balconies are evidence of the artistry of woodworkers and blacksmiths. This era in design was known as Rococo or Late Baroque.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Rococo rooms were designed as total works of art with elegant and ornate furniture, small sculptures, ornamental mirrors, and tapestry complementing architecture, reliefs, and wall paintings. It was largely supplanted by the Neo-classicstyle. In 1835 the <i>Dictionary of the French Academy</i> stated that the word <i>Rococo</i> "usually covers the kind of ornament, style and design associated with Louis XV's reign and the beginning of that of Louis XVI". It includes therefore, all types of art produced around the middle of the 18th century in France.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

"Cada cabeza es un mundo." But even if it's not your style I am sure you can appreciate the ornate craftsmanship and artistic flair in it. We like to select pieces like these and breathe new life into them. Some of the pieces, I leave as they are, depending on the patina and age on them, while I choose to paint some of them in a chalky gray. I mix my own, and add my own touch. I call it "a touch of frost" You might want to see a previous posting on this. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #76a5af;"><a href="http://atelierdecampagneantiques.blogspot.com/2011/01/touch-of-frost.html">Here</a></span></span><br />

The serenity of the countryside is so conducive to meditation but there are plenty of other things should you choose to socialize. There are plenty of wineries, restaurants, spas. We did venture out a bit and enjoyed some of the local cuisine, but we were also treated to Martin's exquisite meals. The food, the clean air, the spirit of the land and the spirits from its vineyards got our creative juices flowing and we ended up not just having a wonderful time, but also came back with new ideas and ready to take next steps. </span></div></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Hoefler Text'; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 17px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />

As we walked, we were startled by a sudden flutter and odd noises and were able to see a flock of wild turkeys running into the woods. As you walk along the small road going uphill, you encounter statues and other beautiful artwork. There is a beautiful, 9 ft. majestic rooster in pique assiette style, a beautiful bell that conjures up images of Provence, and a few other items that will make you smile. As you get to the top of the hill you can see surrounding vineyards and hills and on a good day, glimpses of the San Francisco Bay. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">You will also find at the top of the hill, a small platform where Darius and Sarah celebrated their wedding.

Not all of them are fancy or elegant. Some are odd, simple, rustic, but to us they are all beautiful. A bee hive, an egg sizer, or an olive colander can suddenly become part of a home's decor. When I see someone picking up an odd item, I always like to ask them how they will use it. Some of our customers sometimes send us photos of how they used an item or how they integrated it in their design. I'd love to do a posting on this one day: photos of our items in your homes or gardens.</span></div></div><div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />

It is not only arduous physically, but also nerve racking trying to load up some of the heaviest pieces or getting on a ladder while trying to wedge in a piece that keeps getting stuck on something else. Add to that the stress of the documentation and other tasks of dealing with the transport companies, customs, etc. Packing and getting the container ready is definitely not something to relish and it always feels so gratifying when the last piece finally goes in and he can shut the doors! It took three days, working 15 hours a day to finish packing this last container which will be in transit tomorrow and arrive at the Port of Oakland on the last day of August. This means we can probably set the date for our Container Sale for the second weekend of September. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />

While you are there, you can preview some of the items that will be arriving. Note: not everything that is coming is posted as we like to maintain the element of surprise and purposely not show some of the items to come. I myself sometimes do not get to see every item prior to the container's arrival and love to discover some wonderful treasure I had not seen before. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br />

Now that I have taken a hiatus from my teaching job, I hope that I can go and help him with the packing of the next container. Johan is such a trooper because not only is he incredibly creative, but he's also always ready to roll up his sleeves and do the most arduous tasks. His hands possess both grace and skill to create, but also incredible strength to grasp, pull, carry, shove, and do everything that it takes to make sure all of our treasures make a safe journey to our place in Corralitos. I know by now you might be thinking, "It looks like Johan does everything! What do you and Martin do?" Well, stay with us, we will be posting later about the container's arrival and the drama that unfolds preparing for it, not to mention the unloading of the container. What takes Johan and his helpers three days to pack, we have to unpack it in three hours! </span></div></div><div style="font: 13.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
