What a great, new shop of my cyber friend Deborah Beau of the super popular blog, Kickcans & Conkers! She has a very unique mix of vintage treasures that she finds in the South of France, (where she lives), and around the world,  together with modern toys, and adult-like fare. I’m giving you a little taste here, but check back regularly as she will be putting up one-of-a-kind-finds on a regular basis. Take a look here.
