About

 

The French Tangerine is a curated shop featuring special accessories, unique home furnishings, distinctive entertaining pieces, and exclusive lines. The blog began in 2011 and is still maintained, though less frequently. After a few years of blogging, the online shop seemed a natural progression and came to fruition in 2015.

After doing a blogpost in 2013 on aptware, a marbleized faience pottery from a small town in France, I was lucky enough to meet a highly regarded artisan residing in that region. Finding this elusive vendor was pure joy, and the thrill of providing access to this sought-after product was the impetus to expand from blog to shop. Since then, that category of the shop has grown to include several vendors from different regions of France. Aptware and French pottery make up the most successful part of my shop sales and remain at the top of my Favorites Things list.

Through the years, I have continued to curate, edit and perfect the shop inventory resulting in a narrowed down version, easier for the shopper to navigate, and more enjoyable for me to manage. Click here to read a post from 2021 with more shop updates! 

I am not a design professional, but I love inspiring interiors. I don’t entertain as frequently as I would like, but I celebrate entertaining beautifully. I am thrilled to have this venue to share inspiration and fun finds with anyone striving to beautify their surroundings.
