Thank you all for your incredible response to our video sharing our new warehouse… and announcing our Summer Virtual French Market held June 26-27. We think it’s going to be our best ever!

We have received lots of DM’s about the fantastic French Store Hutch shown in our video. She is remarkable! She came from a candy store in France…. Loads of character, patina and apothecary drawers! We fell in love immediately and we are so excited to share her with everyone!
She’s been cleaned up, french waxed and ready for her debut!

Please DM us if you would like early access to our show, or would like to make an appt to drop by our warehouse in San Juan Capistrano. We are making appointments starting July 7 thru the summer. #chasingvintage #onlineshop #localwarehouse #byappointment #frenchvintage #virtualfrenchflea

We are often asked what vendors we buy from, and what items we keep for ourselves. Well... one of our favorites is @vivietmargot .... and we always keep the pieces we select from Charlotte’s beautiful website for our personal use.

One of our best warehouse memories is when Charlotte dropped by with her family to visit, talk shipping and business and do a bit of shopping. Unfortunately it was one of the hottest days of the year and her beautiful little girls were so sweet as they patiently waited for Mummy to be done so they could get to the beach! Asking a lot of little ones and they were as charming as could be.... as we adults literally melted in the heat!

I have been collecting vintage French copper since I was in college, often purchasing from consignment stores in Georgetown who received them from embassies in the area. We also often sell vintage copper, but we never see new copper pieces with the personality and craftsmanship that Charlotte offers, created one piece at a time just for her.

The beauty and quality of the hand pounded copper mixing bowls and the perfectly sized measuring cups are what sold me, the added sparkle to the kitchen is what I fell in love with. Rapid fire shipping, wrapped beautifully... a special treat that I eagerly waited for! Charlotte has a massive copper jam pot on her website that I have my eye on... impossible to have too many of those! #vendorfavorite

When you get a call from one of your favorite European vendors that they are moving permanently back to France and are offered first dibs at their warehouse you (very quickly) jump on a plane and go........and then have five very long days of laughing, packing, talking, laughing, packing and even more talking with the end result a very full container and a sad good bye to one of the most entertaining and knowledgeable ladies I know in the business. Such an unexpected honor!

We are expecting to have delivery and everything unpacked, cleaned and ready to go for our Virtual French Market in May...which, combined with our Round Top buying trip, should be an incredible show! Please sign up via our website, chasingvintage.com or DM us your email to be given early access to the Market.

We have a few more videos coming of this jammed packed warehouse...enjoy!

Across from Excess I there are the rows of stores in Excess II... front row on the highway is the exquisite store of Paul and Suzanne Whitmire (@paulandsuzannewhitmire ). Suzanne travels twice a year to France, hand selecting each and every truly one of a kind piece she offers to her customers. But beware, you will want to pull up a stool and talk all day long with Suzanne, easily one of the most beautiful, inside and out, ladies in Round Top. From religious artifacts to French hutches to kitchen enamel pitchers... every price point, every French era, she has it! Please DM them if you have any questions about her remarkable inventory. And if you visit.. don’t forget to look at the necklaces at the front counter. Beautiful fresh water pearls combined with silver pendants cast from religious medals. I had to buy three! Love them! ⚜️⚜️⚜️ #roundtop #vendorspotlight #roundtoptexas #roundtopantiqueshow
