We appreciate you all for coming to our sale! During this Anniversary Sale we’ve had a number of clients hear that we were closing and have no clue where that rumor started!
When we do a sale it is mostly to say Thank You for shopping with us the rest of the year! Our prices are usually already pretty fair but we have done our Summer sale in July and Anniversary sale every year since 2001…
Two more days to benefit of a store wide discount of 20% with a special on raffia bags! Come and get you some!!!😁

24 years ago we were busy trying to finish painting, move in antiques from Normandy and hang a few pieces of African art!
Pittsboro was full of antique shops at the time, today the painting still isn’t finished but there has been a lot of change in the store…
Come see us next week as we celebrate our Anniversary. Our Sale starts Saturday!

We packed out of the Asheville Quilt Show in the dark this morning (no power) and made it down the mountain. So sorry that Helene got in the way of the show. See you next year!

Photos from French Connections's post 09/27/2024

The Asheville Quilt Show may only open tomorrow as many places are still flooded or without power in that area but the shop in Pittsboro is open… if you are like many who have driven by and have never come in here are some of the crafts or fabrics that are waiting for you to check out!😁

09/26/2024

Our booth is ready for business at the Asheville Quilt Show, but empty as the NC mountains suffer flash flooding today while we wait for Hurricane Helene to arrive. Stay tuned for information on when the show will open. Stay safe out there!

UPDATE: THE SHOW WILL BE OPEN SUNDAY 11 to 4. Still no word on when we will open.

If you are planning to drive by the 200 mark on Hillsboro street an elm tree fell and has blocked the street…. Might take a little while to clear it!

The 4th of July is a day to celebrate community. Here is a print of Pittsboro from 1999 by Martha Danek. This was PBO when we opened, CCB was our bank and across the street Cindy and Tommy Edwards encouraged us to open our store to bring antiques from Normandy!
A lot of water has run under the bridge since then in our little town but Pittsboro still keeps its character!
Wishing y’all a Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸
Come and celebrate at Summer Fest on Sunday from 4 to 9!

06/15/2024
