Once upon a time there was a beautiful furniture store, much admired by Those In The Know. It was called La Belle Vie, and it was run by Zasa Rossini, who made lovely and original furniture.
And then, last year, she stopped. The store was closed as Zasa took a break – and many lovers of fine furniture experienced withdrawal symptoms. Although, of course, of still sees her pieces – most recently I came across one of her pretty parlour lamps in Summer Gildea’s home as we were filming the Christmas edition of Meta Makeover.
Recently, Zasa opened ~Ztique~, a store which sells more gorgeous things – this time shoes, hats and jewellery – and all really outside the province of Prim Perfect.
But now she has announced plans to re-launch the La Belle Vie line with a new store and it’s opening in Dollz Town for an introductory one-day sale.
And that means … TODAY!
Zasa is showing a small preview of what is to come when she opens La Belle Vie again in January 2009, and everything set out to display is on sale at 50% off what it will be when the shop is offically opened, but only for today, December 26th, until midnight SLT.
Zasa says, “There are things here .. beautiful and strange … practical and perhaps a bit over the top, but all made with attention to detail and much loving care. There are never pose balls. Poses are hidden in the cushion prims. Can you find them all? Many items have colour or upholstery change menus. Lamps, chandileres and fireplaces really work. Drawers and doors open.. water actually runs with a touch of the faucet tip.”
So come and explore La Belle Vie – and who knows? You could pick up a bargain!
