Discoveries
Every now and then, I find a shop that embodies all of the things I love under one roof. Fleuri, located in Carmichael CA, is just such a place. For the past ten years, a very talented group of women designers, collectors, and artists has showcased their talents inside this distinctive, Parisian-themed shop. These women are amazing stylists and create an inviting and inspired atmosphere.
Celebrating ten happy years in business, Fleuri continues to amaze its clientele with rare vintage finds, including large furniture pieces, home accessories, china, and unique gift ideas. It’s nearly impossible to venture in without finding something special to take home.
Delightful Victorian-inspired boxes, created by my dear friend Patricia Loftus, make beautiful gifts for Mother’s Day. The charming shop owner Sonia greets visitors with a smile and a cheery welcome as they enter.
One of the wonderful things about Fleuri is the carefully selected assortment of gifts and accessories. There’s the distinct feeling and aroma of being in a Paris brocante (antique shop), with all the excitement and fun of discovering rare and beautiful items.
I appreciate the creativity and talent behind Fleuri's beautiful displays. This shop is truly a marvelous gem, with something to delight the eye, everywhere you look!
Looks like a fun place to shop! xo

I was on an online hunt for a beautiful, whimsical scrapbook kit to welcome my baby girl. But nothing fit the picture in my head, till I tripped upon your website. Thank you for creating such enchanting things where people can keep their memories.
I've been trying to order your dollhouse, and brookfield kits from bygonesmemoryshoppe.com, but haven't been able to. I'm based in the UK, and would like to pay by credit card. They however seem to accept card payments only from the US. Can you tell me how I can get my hands on your beautiful kits? I can't wait to create something very special before my daughter arrives!

Excuse me for being so remiss in not having visited your website until now. Very impressive. When you aren't working on a deadline (even on Mother's Day),
visit the website above and click on "Spoken From the Heart." Our two most recent videos are available for viewing. The one on the far right (about brain development) and third from the right (foster youth).
I hope you like! Love, Robert
